The conjecture on the variance of primes in short intervals
The conjecture on the variance of primes in short intervals
Let be the Chebyshev function. Short-interval variance conjecture. For all , if , then
as . This conjecture gives the expected variance of the number of primes in short intervals and, under the Riemann Hypothesis, is equivalent to Montgomery's pair correlation conjecture; it remains open.
