Universal limiting pair correlation conjecture for Apollonian gaskets

Let P\mathcal{P} be an Apollonian gasket and let RC\mathcal R\subset\mathbb C satisfy μ(R)>0\mu(\mathcal R)>0. For T>0T>0, let FT,R(s)F_{T,\mathcal R}(s) denote the pair correlation function defined in the source, and write FT,RF_{T,\mathcal R} for this function of ss. Universal limiting pair correlation conjecture. There exists a non-negative, monotone, continuously differentiable function FF on [0,)[0,\infty), supported away from 00, such that

limTFT,R(s)=F(s)\lim_{T\rightarrow\infty}F_{T,\mathcal R}(s)=F(s)

for every s[0,)s\in[0,\infty). Moreover, FF is independent of the chosen Apollonian gasket. The conjecture is motivated by numerical plots suggesting convergence, continuity of the derivative, and universality across different Apollonian gaskets; no proof or resolution is supplied here.
