The higher-moment conjecture for the Hurwitz zeta function
The higher-moment conjecture for the Hurwitz zeta function
Let and let be irrational. Write for the Hurwitz zeta function and let denote the algebraic degree of an algebraic number ; for transcendental , let denote its irrationality exponent. Higher-moment conjecture. If is algebraic of degree , or if is transcendental with , then
as . This predicts the moments expected from diagonal contributions and, in particular, the moments of a complex Gaussian with variance . The source notes that the conjecture is known after averaging over the shift parameter in the case , while the unaveraged assertion remains open.
