The prime-divisor positivity implication for Goldbach convolution sums

About 8 years old · traced to

Let NN be an integer, let pp range over the primes dividing NN, and let Λ0\Lambda_0 denote the function used in the source. Prime-divisor positivity conjecture. If

∑p∣N∑n≤NpΛ0(n)Λ0(N/p−n)>0,\sum_{p\mid N}\sum_{n\leq \frac{N}{p}}\Lambda_0(n)\Lambda_0(N/p-n)>0,

then

∑n≤NpΛ0(n)Λ0(N/p−n)>0\sum_{n\leq \frac{N}{p}}\Lambda_0(n)\Lambda_0(N/p-n)>0

for every prime pp dividing NN. The text proposes this implication as the statement through which the Goldbach conjecture will be attacked, but supplies no resolution.
