Asymptotic conjecture for \ell-Genocchi irregular primes in arithmetic progressions

Let \ell be an odd prime, let 1a<d1\leq a<d with (a,d)=1(a,d)=1, and let PG(d,a)(x)\mathcal P_G(d,a)(x) count the primes pxp\leq x satisfying pa(modd)p\equiv a\pmod d that are \ell-Genocchi irregular. Write δd,a\delta_{d,a} for the explicit constant defined by the paper, and let φ\varphi denote Euler's totient function. \ell-Genocchi arithmetic-progression conjecture. As xx tends to infinity,

PG(d,a)(x)(1δd,ae)xφ(d)logx.\mathcal P_G(d,a)(x)\sim \left(1-\frac{\delta_{d,a}}{\sqrt e}\right)\frac{x}{\varphi(d)\log x}.

The paper proves a positive lower-density result in every primitive residue class, while this sharper asymptotic is motivated by numerical data and a Siegel-type heuristic.
