Jakobson's variation of the prime kk-tuples conjecture for sums of two squares

Let H={h1,h2,}\mathcal{H}^*=\{h_1,h_2,\ldots\} be an ordered set of integers. It is admissible if every finite truncation {h1,,hk}\{h_1,\ldots,h_k\} is admissible, meaning that its reduction modulo every prime pp omits at least one residue class. Jakobson's variation of the prime kk-tuples conjecture. If H\mathcal{H}^* is admissible, then there exists an increasing sequence of integers nkn_k such that, for every k1k\geq 1, the translates nk+h1,,nk+hkn_k+h_1,\ldots,n_k+h_k are sums of two squares. The paper presents this as a variation of the prime kk-tuples conjecture and states that it has implications for quantum limits on flat tori; the supplied text does not establish it as solved or refuted.
