The Weil abscissa conjecture for procyclic groups

For every non-empty set SS of primes, define the procyclic groups

HS=pSZp,GS=pSCp,H_S=\prod_{p\in S}\mathbb{Z}_p,\qquad G_S=\prod_{p\in S}C_p,

where CpC_p is cyclic of order pp. Let αD(S)\alpha_D(S) denote the abscissa of convergence of the partial Riemann zeta function

ζS(s)=pS(1ps)1.\zeta_S(s)=\prod_{p\in S}(1-p^{-s})^{-1}.

The Weil abscissa conjecture. For every set SS of primes,

α(GS)=α(HS)=αD(S)+1.\alpha(G_S)=\alpha(H_S)=\alpha_D(S)+1.

The conjecture is motivated by the bounds 1L(αD(S)+1)α(GS)α(HS)αD(S)+1\frac{1}{L}(\alpha_D(S)+1)\leq\alpha(G_S)\leq\alpha(H_S)\leq\alpha_D(S)+1, where LL is a Linnik constant. Chowla's conjecture that L=1+εL=1+\varepsilon is a Linnik constant for every ε>0\varepsilon>0 would imply this conjecture, but it is currently out of reach.
