2Authored explanation
UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-31. Chase and Pandey prove \(L(N)=O_\varepsilon(N^{1/3-2/177+\varepsilon})\). The dated search did not find a larger published saving, so this record asks for a strict improvement over that theorem.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Exhibit a fixed \(\delta>2/177\) and prove that for every \(\varepsilon>0\) there is a constant \(C_\varepsilon\) with \(L(N)\le C_\varepsilon N^{1/3-\delta+\varepsilon}\) for every \(N\ge2\).
