Quantitative Erdős–Kac conjecture for irreducible quadratic polynomials

From papers

Let ηN0\eta_N\searrow0 as NN\rightarrow\infty. For real numbers α>0\alpha>0, β\beta, and γ\gamma such that α\alpha and β\beta are not both rational and β2<4αγ\beta^2<4\alpha\gamma, define

XN=ω(αn2+βn+γ)loglogNloglogN,nU[N].X_N=\frac{\omega(\lfloor\alpha n^2+\beta n+\gamma\rfloor)-\log\log N}{\sqrt{\log\log N}},\qquad n\sim U[N].

Quantitative Erdős–Kac conjecture for irreducible quadratics. The Kolmogorov distance between XNX_N and the standard Gaussian N(0,1)\mathcal{N}(0,1) is Oα,β,γ(ηN)O_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}(\eta_N) as NN\rightarrow\infty, with the implied constant allowed to depend on α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma.

The conjecture concerns quantitative convergence for irreducible quadratic polynomials, after the paper's general construction of arbitrarily slow convergence for some reducible generalized polynomials. The linear irreducible case is covered by the Beatty-sequence result, while this quadratic case remains open.
