The complete positive bias conjecture for Gaussian-prime representations
The complete positive bias conjecture for Gaussian-prime representations
Let
Here ranges over primes, and logarithmic scale is measured by logarithmic density, using the variable ; thus a property holds for almost all in logarithmic scale when the corresponding set has logarithmic density one. Complete positive bias conjecture. The values of have a complete bias towards positive values: for almost all in logarithmic scale, more than half of the primes below have a representation with . Precisely,
for almost all in logarithmic scale, and
This conjecture predicts a one-sided prime-number race for the two congruence classes of the odd square parameter in representations . It is part of the paper's heuristic model for the distribution of ; the source supplies no proof or resolution.
