Let H2g+1 be the set of monic square-free polynomials of degree 2g+1 over Fq[x], and let A={α1,…,αk} and B={β1,…,βk}. Assume
∣Reαj∣<41,g1≪Reβj<41(1≤j≤k).
For C={γ1,…,γk}, write C−={−α:α∈C} and q−2gC=q−2g∑j=1kγj, and define SC by the Euler-product expression in the conjecture below.
Ratios Conjecture. Under these constraints,

The conjecture predicts an asymptotic formula for averages of ratios of products of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over function fields, extending the ratios-conjecture framework to this family; the paper proves special cases, while the full formula remains conjectural in the stated generality.
