The Gaussian value-distribution conjecture for the Hurwitz zeta function

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let S⊂CS\subset\mathbb{C} be Borel, and let ζ(s,α)\zeta(s,\alpha) denote the Hurwitz zeta function for a shift parameter 0<α<10<\alpha<1. Gaussian value-distribution conjecture. For large TT and almost all α\alpha with 0<α<10<\alpha<1,

1Tmeas⁡{t∈[T,2T]:ζ(12+it,α)log⁡T∈S}∼12π∬Se−(x2+y2)/2 dx dy.\frac{1}{T}\operatorname{meas}\left\{t\in[T,2T]:\frac{\zeta(\tfrac12+it,\alpha)}{\sqrt{\log T}}\in S\right\}\sim\frac{1}{2\pi}\iint_S e^{-(x^2+y^2)/2}\,dx\,dy.

This asserts that normalized critical-line values of the Hurwitz zeta function have a standard complex Gaussian distribution for almost every shift. It is motivated by the preceding higher-moment conjecture, and the source presents it as unresolved.
