Patterson's asymptotic conjecture for cubic exponential sums
Let run through the primes with , and define
where . Let
where is the classical gamma function. Patterson's conjecture. As ,
The conjecture concerns the first moment of normalized cubic exponential sums and their distribution over primes congruent to modulo . The preceding Kummer frequency conjecture was disproved by Heath-Brown and Patterson; the source gives no resolution status for Patterson's conjecture itself.
