Variance of Goldbach representations in residue classes / Variância das representações de Goldbach em classes residuais

We study the variance of Goldbach representations of an even integer N across the k_n admissible residue classes modulo n, for odd n>1 coprime to 6. The exact identity V_N = diag_N + 2 W_off(N) fixes the normalisation: the variance ratio is R_n = 1 + 2 sum W_off / sum diag. Four-form local factors are recorded with the correct branch at primes dividing N. A leading term W_off ~ -(1/4) D_n S_2(N) N (log N)^2 would be compatible with R_n -> 1/2; we do not prove that asymptotic, nor a conditional limit 1/2. Non-negativity of the four-form singular series does not determine the sign of the signed off-diagonal sum. Under an l^1 hypothesis we bound W - W_rho. Unconditionally we bound the resonant linear piece of h_ell after an O(X^2) remainder. Two empirical conjectures are stated. We claim no progress on the Riemann hypothesis or on pointwise Goldbach. Portuguese and English sources and the reproduction code are included.

Abstract

We study the variance of Goldbach representations of an even integer N across the k_n admissible residue classes modulo n, for odd n>1 coprime to 6. The exact identity V_N = diag_N + 2 W_off(N) fixes the normalisation: the variance ratio is R_n = 1 + 2 sum W_off / sum diag. Four-form local factors are recorded with the correct branch at primes dividing N. A leading term W_off ~ -(1/4) D_n S_2(N) N (log N)^2 would be compatible with R_n -> 1/2; we do not prove that asymptotic, nor a conditional limit 1/2. Non-negativity of the four-form singular series does not determine the sign of the signed off-diagonal sum. Under an l^1 hypothesis we bound W - W_rho. Unconditionally we bound the resonant linear piece of h_ell after an O(X^2) remainder. Two empirical conjectures are stated. We claim no progress on the Riemann hypothesis or on pointwise Goldbach. Portuguese and English sources and the reproduction code are included.
