A variation of the prime k-tuples conjecture with applications to quantum limits (Q2089714)

A set \(\mathcal{H} = \{h_1, \ldots , h_k \}\) of distinct integers is said to be admissible if \(\#\{H\pmod p\} < p\) for every prime \(p\). The infinite ordered set \(\mathcal{H} = \{h_1, h_2,\ldots \}\) is said to be admissible if the finite truncation \(\{h_1, h_2, \ldots, h_k\}\subseteq \mathcal{H}\) is admissible for every \(k \geqslant 1\). The following assertion related with \textit{the prime \(k\)-tuples conjecture} is the main in the paper. Let the ordered set \( \mathcal{H}^* = \{h_1, h_2, \ldots,\}\) be admissible such that each \(h_i\) is divisible by \(4\). Then there exists increasing sequences of natural numbers \(a_j\) and \(n_k\) such that \(n_k + h_{a_j}\) is a sum of two squares for every \(k \geqslant 1\) and \(1 \leqslant j \leqslant k\). As a special case of the presented result, author of the paper deduces a conjecture due to D. Jakobson which has several implications for quantum limits on flat tori.
