Mixed logarithmic-derivative moments conjecture for the Riemann zeta-function

About 7 years old · traced to

Let Z(t)Z(t) be Hardy's function, so that ∣Z(t)∣=∣ζ(1/2+it)∣|Z(t)|=|\zeta(1/2+it)|, and let σI ⁣I ⁣I′\sigma_{I\!I\!I'} be the function defined by the Painlevé equation referenced in the source. For non-negative integers KK and MM with M≤KM\le K, the mixed-moments conjecture asserts that, as T→∞T\to\infty,

∫0T∣Z′Z(t)∣2K−2M∣Z(t)∣2K dt∫0T∣Z(t)∣2K dt∼(ilog⁡Tddx)2K−2Mexp⁡(x2−∫04xσI ⁣I ⁣I′(s)+K2s ds)∣x=0.\frac{\displaystyle\int_0^T \left|\frac{Z'}{Z}(t)\right|^{2K-2M}|Z(t)|^{2K}\,dt}{\displaystyle\int_0^T |Z(t)|^{2K}\,dt} \sim \left(i\log T\frac{d}{dx}\right)^{2K-2M}\left.\exp\left(\frac{x}{2}-\int_0^{4x}\frac{\sigma_{I\!I\!I'}(s)+K^2}{s}\,ds\right)\right|_{x=0}.

This conjecture predicts mixed moments involving Hardy's function and its logarithmic derivative, extending the conjectural moment formulas for the Riemann zeta-function and the random-matrix analogues proved in the paper. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
