Kazashi and Sloan's number-theoretic conjecture for unshifted lattice rules

Let nn be an odd prime. For 1κn11\leq\kappa\leq n-1, define

Tn(κ):=q=1(n1)/21qr(qκ,n),T_n(\kappa):=\sum_{q=1}^{(n-1)/2}\frac{1}{q\,|r(q\kappa,n)|},

where r(j,n)r(j,n) is the unique integer congruent to jj modulo nn in {(n1)/2,,(n1)/2}\{-(n-1)/2,\ldots,(n-1)/2\}. Kazashi and Sloan's conjecture. There exist constants C1,C2>0C_1,C_2>0 and α2\alpha\geq 2, all independent of nn, such that

Tn(κ)>C1(logn)αnT_n(\kappa)>C_1\frac{(\log n)^\alpha}{n}

holds for at most C2(logn)αC_2(\log n)^\alpha values of κ\kappa among {1,,n1}\{1,\ldots,n-1\}. The conjecture would improve the averaged worst-case error bound for unshifted rank-1 lattice rules to O(1/n)O(1/n) up to a dimension-independent logarithmic factor; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
