The Skewes-number conjecture for admissible prime tuples

Let P=(p,p+a1,p+a2,,p+ak)P=(p,p+a_1,p+a_2,\ldots,p+a_k) be an admissible prime kk-tuple, with associated counting function πP(n)\pi_P(n) and Hardy–Littlewood constant Ca1,a2,,akC_{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k}. A Skewes number for PP is the first prime pPp\in P, if such a prime exists, at which

πP(n)Ca1,a2,,ak2ndtlogk+1t.\pi_P(n)\geq C_{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k}\int_2^n\frac{dt}{\log^{k+1}t}.

Skewes-number conjecture. Every admissible prime kk-tuple has a Skewes number. The conjecture is based on the computational results in the paper; no proof or disproof is supplied.
