Centered subcritical Vaughan moment conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let Ks(χ)K_s(\chi) be the short coefficient-11 character polynomial, let Ds(χ)D_s(\chi) be the localized Möbius polynomial, and let Ps,L∘(χ)P_{s,L}^{\circ}(\chi) be the centered prime character sum. For dyadic parameters satisfying

K≤SXη,DKL≍P,S2≪L,K\le SX^\eta,\qquad DKL\asymp P,\qquad S^2\ll L,

Centered subcritical Vaughan moment conjecture. One has

∑s≍S1φ(s)∑χ≠χ0∣Ks(χ)∣2∣Ds(χ)∣2∣Ps,L∘(χ)∣2≪εSDKL Xε.\sum_{s\asymp S}\frac{1}{\varphi(s)}\sum_{\chi\ne\chi_0}|K_s(\chi)|^2|D_s(\chi)|^2|P_{s,L}^{\circ}(\chi)|^2\ll_\varepsilon SDKL\,X^\varepsilon.

The principal character and explicitly separated exceptional or major-arc modes are removed. This is the residual short-free-variable estimate left after the unconditional diagonal, geometric, energy, and long-line analyses; its status is the remaining unresolved spectral input.
