Restricted Prime Number Theorem for shifted-index alternating sums

About 8 years old · traced to

Let pip_i be the iith prime. For a fixed positive integer kk, define

An(k)=∑i=12n+1(−1)i−1pi+k,n=1,2,….A_n^{(k)}=\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}(-1)^{i-1}p_{i+k},\qquad n=1,2,\ldots.

Shifted-index restricted-prime conjecture. For every fixed positive integer kk, the sequence (An(k))(A_n^{(k)}) satisfies the Restricted Prime Number Theorem. The conjecture is presented as a generalization motivated by heuristic arguments, computation, and the main alternating-sum conjecture; no resolution is stated.
