Procounting measures and the Bateman--Horn conjecture
Abstract
Let D be the ring of S-integers in a global field and D̂ its profinite completion. We propose a profinite version of the Bateman--Horn conjecture over D and provide a first comparison with the classical one and its generalizations. Our approach is based on the new notion of procounting measure: a distribution on D̂ which should be seen as a profinite analogue of the counting function for a subset of ℝ. This allows us to deal with subsets of D̂ having Haar measure $0$ (corresponding to density zero in ℝ).
