Average prime-pair counting formula

Abstract: Taking

r > 0

, let

p i_{2 r} (x)

denote the number of prime pairs

(p, p + 2 r)

with

p l e x

. The prime-pair conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) asserts that

p i_{2 r} (x) s i m 2 C_{2 r} {m l i}_{2} (x)

with an explicit constant

C_{2 r} > 0

. There seems to be no good conjecture for the remainders

o m e g a_{2 r} (x) = p i_{2 r} (x) - 2 C_{2 r} {m l i}_{2} (x)

that corresponds to Riemann's formula for

p i (x) - m l i (x)

. However, there is a heuristic approximate formula for averages of the remainders

o m e g a_{2 r} (x)

which is supported by numerical results.
