Conjecture on the variance of the normalized Euler totient function in intervals
Let and, for an interval of size , let
Let for some fixed . Variance conjecture. Then
This predicts the discrete mean square, and hence the variance, of the normalized Euler totient function over intervals whose length is a fixed power of the endpoint. The cited results establish mean-square information for the unrestricted remainder term, but the stated interval variance remains conjectural in the source.
