Semigroup log-mass conjecture

Let P3\mathcal{P}_3 be the set of odd primes used in the paper whose shifted-prime closure has the stated 3-Higgs property, and let S3(3)\mathcal{S}_3^{(\leq 3)} be the associated bounded-exponent semigroup. Semigroup log-mass conjecture. There exists an absolute δ>0\delta>0 such that for all sufficiently large odd primes pP3p\in\mathcal{P}_3,

r prime, r22p+1˚1(mod4p)(r1)/(4p)S3(3)logr(2log2δ)p.\sum_{\substack{r\text{ prime},\ r\leq 2^{2p}+1\r\equiv 1\pmod{4p}\\(r-1)/(4p)\in\mathcal{S}_3^{(\leq 3)}}}\log r\leq (2\log 2-\delta)p.

This conjecture is intended to create a deficit against the primitive logarithmic mass of Φ4p(2)\Phi_{4p}(2) and thereby prove finiteness of HevenH_{\mathrm{even}}. It is presented as open and strictly weaker than the hybrid conjecture.
