Cube finite-place mean conjecture

Let CC be the determinant-admissible set associated with the cubic polynomial P3(n)P_3(n), and let N!CN!_C denote its factorial. Define the local slope, when it exists, by cpc_p, with

c3=632,c_3=\sqrt6-\frac32,

and, for p2(mod3)p\equiv2\pmod3,

cp=3+9+12p(p1)22.c_p=\frac{-3+\sqrt{9+\dfrac{12p}{(p-1)^2}}}{2}.

Let χ3\chi_{-3} be the quadratic character of conductor 33.

Cube finite-place mean conjecture. The limit

βC=limN1NlogN!CN!(3N)!\beta_C=\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac1N\log\frac{N!_C}{\sqrt{N!(3N)!}}

exists and equals

βC=(652)log3LL(1,χ3)+p2(mod3)(cp1p12p21)logp.\begin{aligned} \beta_C&=\left(\sqrt6-\frac52\right)\log3-\frac{L'}{L}(1,\chi_{-3})\\ &\quad+\sum_{p\equiv2\pmod3}\left(c_p-\frac1{p-1}-\frac2{p^2-1}\right)\log p. \end{aligned}

The remaining prime sum is absolutely convergent.

This conjecture gives the asymptotic mean of the factorial attached to the cubic determinant-admissible set, including an explicit contribution from the quadratic character of conductor 33 and the inert-prime renewal slopes. The stated context presents the constant as a prediction; the existence of the limit, the displayed evaluation, and absolute convergence of the residual prime sum remain to be proved.
