Extended Goldbach conjecture with Hardy–Littlewood asymptotic

About 5 years old · traced to

Let kk be a positive integer and let C2,kC_{2,k} be the prime-pair constant. Extended Goldbach conjecture. The number of ways of writing 2k2k as a sum of two primes is asymptotic to

2C2,k∫2Ndx(log⁡x)2∼2C2,kN(log⁡N)2.2C_{2,k}\int_2^N\frac{dx}{(\log x)^2}\sim\frac{2C_{2,k}N}{(\log N)^2}.

This is the Hardy–Littlewood heuristic for representations of an even number as a sum of two primes; it remains unproved in the stated asymptotic form.
