Divisor-transference conjecture for Φ4p(2)\Phi_{4p}(2)

Let P3\mathcal{P}_3 and S3(3)\mathcal{S}_3^{(\leq 3)} be as used in the paper, and define

A(x):=#(S3(3)[1,x]),A(x):=\#\bigl(\mathcal{S}_3^{(\leq 3)}\cap[1,x]\bigr), Z(p):=#{rΦ4p(2):(r1)/(4p)S3(3)}.Z(p):=\#\Bigl\{r\mid\Phi_{4p}(2):(r-1)/(4p)\in\mathcal{S}_3^{(\leq 3)}\Bigr\}.

Here Φ4p(2)\Phi_{4p}(2) is the value of the cyclotomic polynomial Φ4p\Phi_{4p} at 22. Divisor-transference conjecture. There exists C>0C>0 such that for every sufficiently large pP3p\in\mathcal{P}_3,

Z(p)CA(22p/(4p))p.Z(p)\leq C\cdot\frac{A(2^{2p}/(4p))}{p}.

This is a divisor-level sufficient criterion aimed at controlling admissible prime divisors of the fixed cyclotomic value Φ4p(2)\Phi_{4p}(2), rather than counting primes by density. It remains open.
