Conjectured beta-dependent sum rule for level-spacing autocovariances

Let δI(β)\delta I_{\ell}^{(\beta)} be the autocovariances of level spacings in the Sineβ{Sine}_\beta process, and let Cβ(1)C_\beta^{(1)} denote the corresponding weighted sum. For β=1\beta=1 and 44, let vβv_\beta be defined by

vβ={π28,β=1,log2+π28,β=4.v_\beta=\begin{cases}-\dfrac{\pi^2}{8},&\beta=1,\log 2+\dfrac{\pi^2}{8},&\beta=4.\end{cases}

Level-spacing sum-rule conjecture.

Cβ(1)==1(δI(β)+1βπ22)=1121βπ2(vβ+log(2π)).C_\beta^{(1)}=\sum_{\ell=1}^{\infty}\ell\left(\delta I_\ell^{(\beta)}+\frac{1}{\beta\pi^2\ell^2}\right)=\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{\beta\pi^2}\bigl(v_\beta+\log(2\pi)\bigr).

The formula extends the proved β=2\beta=2 sum rule to the orthogonal and symplectic classes. The source gives no resolution evidence.
