Positive-density conjecture for \ell-Genocchi regular primes in arithmetic progressions

About 15 years old · traced to

Let ℓ\ell be a prime and let 1≤a<d1\leq a<d with (a,d)=1(a,d)=1. A prime is ℓ\ell-Genocchi regular if it is not ℓ\ell-Genocchi irregular. Positive-density conjecture. If ℓ\ell is odd, the set of ℓ\ell-Genocchi regular primes in the class a(modd)a\pmod d has positive density unless 4ℓ∣d4\ell\mid d, the Jacobi symbol (aℓ)=1\left(\frac{a}{\ell}\right)=1, and a≡1(mod4)a\equiv1\pmod4; if ℓ=2\ell=2, it has positive density unless 8∣d8\mid d and a≡1(mod8)a\equiv1\pmod8. This is a weaker consequence of the preceding arithmetic-progression asymptotic conjecture; the exceptional cases are exactly those in which the relevant density constant vanishes.
