The conjectural least-common-multiple asymptotic for x² + y² + 1

From papers

Let F=x2+y2+1F=x^2+y^2+1, and define

ψF(N)=log(LCMnN{F(n)}).\psi_F(N)=\log\left(\mathop{\operatorname{LCM}}_{n\leq N}\left\lbrace F(n)\right\rbrace\right).

Let CkC_k be the conjectural constants for representations kp=x2+y2+1kp=x^2+y^2+1, and let

L=12p3mod4(11p2)1/2.L=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\prod_{p\equiv3\bmod4}\left(1-\frac{1}{p^2}\right)^{-1/2}.

The conjecture for ψF\psi_F. One should have

ψF(N)cFNloglogNlogN,\psi_F(N)\sim c_F\frac{N\log\log N}{\sqrt{\log N}},

where

cF=limN1logNkNCk=L0.76422.c_F=\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{\log N}\sum_{k\leq N}C_k=L\approx0.76422\dots.

The paper proves the order of magnitude NloglogN/logNN\log\log N/\sqrt{\log N} under its hypotheses, but precise asymptotics and the displayed constant are beyond the methods used; this prediction depends on the preceding conjectures.
