The maximum-deviation limit conjecture for the Sine-beta counting process

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Mλ,tM_{\lambda,t} be the martingale process associated with the Sineβ_\beta counting process, and let Mλ,∞M_{\lambda,\infty} denote its terminal value. For x≥1x\geq 1, consider the maximum over spectral parameters 0≤λ≤x0\leq \lambda\leq x.

Maximum-deviation limit conjecture. There is a random variable ξ\xi such that

max⁡0≤λ≤x(Mλ,∞)−4β(log⁡x−34log⁡log⁡x)→x→∞Wξ.\max_{0\leq \lambda\leq x}(M_{\lambda,\infty})-\frac{4}{\sqrt{\beta}}\left(\log x-\frac{3}{4}\log\log x\right) \xrightarrow[x\to\infty]{\mathrm{W}} \xi.

This conjecture predicts a limiting distribution for the centered maximum deviation of the Sineβ_\beta counting process. The supplied text motivates it through a Gaussian-process approximation and does not provide evidence of a resolution.
