Conjecture on the limiting distribution of the centred sums over zeta-zero cycles

From papers

Let SS denote the multiset of ordinates of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. For a>0a>0, hRh\in\mathbb{R}, and n0n\geq 0, define

ηa,h(n)=1alogna+t+hSat2π=n(eiat1).\eta_{a,h}(n)=\frac{1}{a}\log\frac{n}{a}+\sum_{\substack{t+h\in S\\\\ \left\lfloor\frac{at}{2\pi}\right\rfloor=n}}(e^{iat}-1).

Limiting-distribution conjecture. For every a>0a>0 there is a Borel function fa:CRf_a:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{R} satisfying

Cfa=1\int_{\mathbb{C}}f_a=1

such that for every hRh\in\mathbb{R} and every Borel set XCX\subseteq\mathbb{C},

\lim_{M\to\infty}\frac{\\#\\{0\leq n<M:\eta_{a,h}(n)+\frac{\Lambda(e^a)}{a}e^{-(\frac12+ih)a}\in X\\}}{M}=\int_Xf_a.

The preceding transformation of Landau's formula identifies the added term as the negative of the mean of ηa,h(n)\eta_{a,h}(n). Numerical investigations suggest that the resulting limiting distribution is independent of hh and of the cycle index nn, but the existence of the limiting Borel density remains conjectural.
