The shifted moments conjecture for the Riemann zeta-function

About 6 years old · traced to

Let k∈Nk\in\mathbb N, let Y=Y(T)Y=Y(T), and let RR be a piecewise smooth positively oriented path encircling 00 and −s-s. Shifted moments conjecture. For T≥1T\geq1,

1T∫0Tζ(12+it+s−z)kζ(12−it+z)kdt=akk!(2πi)k∫RkT∑j=1kwj∏i=1kwi−k(wi+s)−k∏i≠j(wi−wj) dw+Ok((log⁡T)k2−1+ε(1+min⁡(∣s∣,1)log⁡T)−k2/2+1).\frac1T\int_0^T\zeta\left(\frac12+it+s-z\right)^k\zeta\left(\frac12-it+z\right)^kdt=\frac{a_k}{k!(2\pi i)^k}\int_{R^k}T^{\sum_{j=1}^k w_j}\prod_{i=1}^k w_i^{-k}(w_i+s)^{-k}\prod_{i\ne j}(w_i-w_j)\,d\boldsymbol w+O_k\left((\log T)^{k^2-1+\varepsilon}(1+\min(|s|,1)\log T)^{-k^2/2+1}\right).

This holds for ∣ℜz∣,∣ℜs∣≤3/log⁡T|\Re z|,|\Re s|\leq3/\log T and ∣ℑz∣,∣ℑs∣≪Y|\Im z|,|\Im s|\ll Y. It is a uniform shifted-moment hypothesis used to derive the smoothness formula; the paper notes that the admissible range is conjectural and that the needed uniformity is known for k≤2k\leq2.
