The Dirichlet LL-function analogue of the Hughes–Keating–O'Connell moment conjecture

From papers

Let κ1\kappa\geq 1 be an integer, let χ\chi be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus qq, and let ρ=β+iγ\rho=\beta+i\gamma range over the non-trivial zeros of the Dirichlet LL-function associated with χκ\chi^\kappa. For rRr\in\mathbb{R} define

J~r(T)=0<γTL(ρ,χκ)2r.\widetilde{J}_r(T)=\sum_{0<\gamma\leq T}|L'(\rho,\chi^\kappa)|^{2r}.

Dirichlet LL-function moment conjecture. For all rCr\in\mathbb{C} with (r)>3/2\Re(r)>-3/2, there is a constant Cq,rC_{q,r} such that

J~r(T)Cq,rT(logT)(r+1)2.\widetilde{J}_r(T)\sim C_{q,r}T(\log T)^{(r+1)^2}.

This extends the conjectural moment order for ζ(ρ)\zeta'(\rho) to derivatives of Dirichlet LL-functions; the asserted asymptotic remains open.
