Equidistribution of prime pairs among coset lattice congruence classes

About 6 years old · traced to

Let zz and qq be fixed, let Nq(a,b)\mathcal{N}_q(a,b) denote a coset lattice congruence class for prime pairs of gap zz, and let πz(x;Nq(a,b),q)\pi_z(x;\mathcal{N}_q(a,b),q) count the pairs (pi,pi+z)(p_i,p_{i+z}) with pi,pi+z≤xp_i,p_{i+z}\leq x in that class. Write ϕ(q)=#{Nq(ai,bi)}\phi(q)=\#\{\mathcal{N}_q(a_i,b_i)\}. Equidistribution conjecture. For some constant D(z)>0\mathcal{D}(z)>0,

πz(x;Nq(a,b),q)∼xD(z)ϕ(q)log⁡2x.\pi_z(x;\mathcal{N}_q(a,b),q)\sim \frac{x\mathcal{D}(z)}{\phi(q)\log^2x}.

This asserts equidistribution of prime pairs with a fixed gap among the relevant coset lattice congruence classes, refining the known order of growth πz(x)≍zx/log⁡2x\pi_z(x)\asymp_z x/\log^2x. Establishing this asymptotic is stated as the theme of the paper; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been proved.
