Prime-polynomial symmetry conjecture for weighted Dirichlet polynomials

From papers

Let Pf(s,X)P_f(s,X) be the weighted Dirichlet polynomial

Pf(s,X)=pX2vf,1(elogp/logX)ps,P_f(s,X)= \sum_{p\leq X^2}\frac{v_{f,1}(e^{\log p/\log X})}{p^s},

where the sum is over primes, and let ff be a nonnegative mass-one C1([0,1])C^1([0,1])-function supported in [0,1][0,1]. For a real number σ\sigma and sufficiently large T>0T>0, consider the maxima over 14tT14\leq t\leq T and 3Xt3\leq X\leq t.

Prime-polynomial symmetry conjecture. The positive and negative real parts, the real and imaginary parts, and the positive and negative imaginary parts have comparable maximal sizes:

max14tTmax3XtRe(Pf(σ+it,X))max14tTmax3XtRe(Pf(σ+it,X)),\max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Re}(P_f(\sigma+it,X)) \asymp \max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Re}(-P_f(\sigma+it,X)), max14tTmax3XtRe(Pf(σ+it,X))max14tTmax3XtIm(Pf(σ+it,X)),\max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Re}(P_f(\sigma+it,X)) \asymp \max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Im}(P_f(\sigma+it,X)),

and

max14tTmax3XtIm(Pf(σ+it,X))max14tTmax3XtIm(Pf(σ+it,X)).\max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Im}(P_f(\sigma+it,X)) \asymp \max_{14\leq t\leq T}\max_{3\leq X\leq t}\operatorname{Im}(-P_f(\sigma+it,X)).

The conjecture reflects the expected random distribution of the fractional parts {tlogp}\{t\log p\} and would explain why the real and imaginary parts, together with their positive and negative parts, should have comparable maximal orders. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
