The Zero Density Conjecture for quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over function fields

Let φ(x)\varphi(x) be a Schwartz class function on R\mathbb{R} with Fourier transform having compact support. Define the density

W(Sp)(x)dx=(1sin(2πx)2πx)dx,W(\mathrm{Sp})(x)dx=\left(1-\frac{\sin(2\pi x)}{2\pi x}\right)dx,

and let ρ=12+iγ\rho=\frac12+i\gamma, with γC\gamma\in\mathbb{C}, represent the non-trivial zeros of L(s,χ8d)L(s,\chi_{8d}). Let Λ(s,χ8d)\Lambda(s,\chi_{8d}) represent the associated completed LL-function. Zero Density Conjecture. One has

limD1s(D)ds(D)Λ(ρ,χ8d)=0φ(γlogD2π)=φ(x)W(Sp)(x)dx.\lim_{D\to\infty}\frac1{|s(D)|}\sum_{d\in s(D)}\sum_{\Lambda(\rho,\chi_{8d})=0} \varphi\left(\frac{\gamma\log D}{2\pi}\right)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\varphi(x)W(\mathrm{Sp})(x)dx.

This is the density statement for the low-lying zeros in the symplectic family of quadratic Dirichlet LL-functions. The surrounding discussion presents it as the density conjecture needed, together with the Riemann Hypothesis, to obtain conditional central-limit results; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
