Conjecture for the first two terms in the quadratic-twist vanishing ratio

About 21 years old · traced to

Let EE be an elliptic curve of conductor QQ, let q∤Qq\nmid Q be prime, and let S±(X)S^{\pm}(X) be the relevant families of fundamental discriminants with sign ±\pm. For λ=±1\lambda=\pm1, set

S±(X;q,λ)={d∈S±(X):χd(q)=λ}S^{\pm}(X;q,\lambda)=\{d\in S^{\pm}(X):\chi_d(q)=\lambda\}

and define

Rq±(X)=∑d∈S±(X;q,1), LE(1,χd)=01∑d∈S±(X;q,−1), LE(1,χd)=01.R_q^{\pm}(X)=\frac{\sum_{d\in S^{\pm}(X;q,1),\ L_E(1,\chi_d)=0}1}{\sum_{d\in S^{\pm}(X;q,-1),\ L_E(1,\chi_d)=0}1}.

Also let

Rq=(q+1−aqq+1+aq)1/2,R_q=\left(\frac{q+1-a_q}{q+1+a_q}\right)^{1/2},

where aqa_q is the qqth coefficient of the LL-function of EE. Conjecture for the first two terms. For q∤Qq\nmid Q,

Rq±(X)=Rq1+38log⁡(X)(β−12±(q,1)−1)1+38log⁡(X)(β−12±(q,−1)−1)+O(log⁡(X)−2),R_q^{\pm}(X)=R_q\frac{1+\frac{3}{8\log(X)}(\beta^{\pm}_{-\frac12}(q,1)-1)}{1+\frac{3}{8\log(X)}(\beta^{\pm}_{-\frac12}(q,-1)-1)}+O(\log(X)^{-2}),

where β−12±(q,λ)\beta^{\pm}_{-\frac12}(q,\lambda) is given explicitly in the source, and the implied constant depends on EE and qq, hence also on aqa_q. This refines the predicted limiting ratio by specifying its first correction in powers of 1/log⁡X1/\log X, based on conjectural moment asymptotics; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
