Square-root upper-bound conjecture for Weyl remainder fluctuations

About 14 years old · traced to

Let X=SL⁡(2,Z)\HX=\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathcal{H} be the modular surface, and let S(t)S(t) denote the Weyl remainder for its Maass spectrum. Square-root upper-bound conjecture. The asymptotic growth rate of the remainder fluctuations is bounded from above by

S(t)=o(t).S(t)=o(\sqrt t).

The conjecture proposes an improvement over the analytically known bound S(t)=O(t/log⁡t)S(t)=O(t/\log t) and is supported in the source by numerical evidence showing that ∣S(t)∣/t|S(t)|/\sqrt t slightly decreases with tt.
