The second Hardy–Littlewood conjecture for the prime-counting function

Let π(t)\pi(t) denote the number of primes at most tt, and let x,y2x,y\geq 2. Second Hardy–Littlewood conjecture.

π(x+y)π(x)+π(y).\pi(x+y)\leq\pi(x)+\pi(y).

This is a classical subadditivity conjecture for the prime-counting function and remains an open problem.
