Logarithmic error bound conjecture for Dirichlet LL-function zero counts

About 6 years old · traced to

Let χ\chi be a character with conductor q>1q>1, and define

ℓ=log⁡q(T+2)2π.\ell=\log\frac{q(T+2)}{2\pi}.

Assume T≥5/7T\ge5/7. Logarithmic error bound conjecture. The zero-counting function satisfies

∣N(T,χ)−(Tπlog⁡qT2πe−χ(−1)4)∣≤ℓlog⁡(2+ℓ).\left|N(T,\chi)-\left(\frac{T}{\pi}\log\frac{qT}{2\pi e}-\frac{\chi(-1)}{4}\right)\right|\le\frac{\ell}{\log(2+\ell)}.

This is a speculative explicit estimate motivated by Selberg's GRH bound and numerical computation. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture is open.
