The local density conjecture for G-irregular primes

Given coprime positive integers aa and dd, let PG(d,a){\mathcal P}_G(d,a) be the set of G-irregular primes congruent to aa modulo dd, and let π(x;d,a)\pi(x;d,a) count primes pxp\le x with pa(modd)p\equiv a\pmod d. Let δ(d,a)\delta(d,a) be the quantity defined in the paper's Proposition 1. The local G-irregular-prime conjecture. Asymptotically,

PG(d,a)(x)(1δ(d,a)e)π(x;d,a).{\mathcal P}_G(d,a)(x)\sim \left(1-\frac{\delta(d,a)}{\sqrt e}\right)\pi(x;d,a).

Numerical evidence is reported, and the conjecture implies the global density conjecture when a=d=1a=d=1; it remains open.
