Young-type inequality conjecture for the prime-counting function

Let π(t)\pi(t) denote the number of primes at most tt, and let p,q>1p,q>1 satisfy

1p+1q=1.\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1.

There exists a sufficiently large natural number n0n_0 such that, for all x,yn0x,y\geq n_0, Young-type conjecture.

π(xy)π(xp)p+π(xq)q.\pi(xy)\leq\frac{\pi(x^p)}{p}+\frac{\pi(x^q)}{q}.

The source presents this as the first of three hypotheses motivated by analogies with Young, Hölder, and Minkowski inequalities; its resolution is not specified.
