Hooley's conjecture on the variance of primes in arithmetic progressions
Hooley's conjecture on the variance of primes in arithmetic progressions
For a fixed modulus , define
where is the von Mangoldt function and is Euler's totient function. Hooley's conjecture.
Hooley did not specify the size of relative to for which this asymptotic should hold. The source describes this conjecture as open, while noting that related asymptotic formulae are known when the modulus is averaged over a long range.
