Siegel's asymptotic conjecture for B-regular primes

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let RB(x)R_B(x) denote the number of BB-regular primes up to xx, where an odd prime is BB-regular if it divides none of the numerators of B2,B4,…,Bp−3B_2,B_4,\ldots,B_{p-3}. Siegel's conjecture. As xx tends to infinity,

RB(x)∼xelog⁡x.R_B(x)\sim \frac{x}{\sqrt{e}\log x}.

This heuristic predicts the observed proportion of regular primes, approximately e−1/2e^{-1/2}, but the asymptotic formula is not known.
