Uniform weak error conjecture for prime-pair counts

For d>0d>0, define

I(x,d):=2xddtlogtlog(t+d),G~(x,d):=S(d)I(x,d),I(x,d):=\int_2^{x-d}\frac{dt}{\log t\,\log(t+d)},\qquad \widetilde{G}(x,d):=\mathfrak{S}(d)I(x,d),

and write G(x,d)=G~(x,d)+E(x,d)G(x,d)=\widetilde{G}(x,d)+E(x,d). The uniform weak error conjecture for prime-pair counts. The variable-difference Hardy–Littlewood formula holds with

E(x,d)=o(x(logx)4)E(x,d)=o\left(\frac{x}{(\log x)^4}\right)

uniformly for

2d89x.2\le d\le \frac89x.

This weaker conjecture is the estimate the paper needs for its analysis of prime difference champions. It is presented as sufficient for the stated problems, while the stronger square-root error conjecture above would imply substantially more.
