Keating–Snaith moment conjecture for the Riemann zeta-function

From papers

Let κ=(κ1,κ2)C2\boldsymbol{\kappa}=(\kappa_{1},\kappa_{2})\in\mathbb{C}^{2} satisfy Re(κ1+κ2)>1\operatorname{Re}(\kappa_{1}+\kappa_{2})>-1, and define

κλ=κ1λ+κ2λ\boldsymbol{\kappa}\circ\lambda=\kappa_{1}\lambda+\kappa_{2}\overline{\lambda}

for λC\lambda\in\mathbb{C}. Let G(z)G(z) denote the Barnes GG-function, and define

a(κ)=p{(1p1)κ1κ2m=0Γ(κ1+m)m!Γ(κ1)Γ(κ2+m)m!Γ(κ2)pm},a(\boldsymbol{\kappa})=\prod_{p}\left\{(1-p^{-1})^{\kappa_{1}\kappa_{2}}\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\frac{\Gamma(\kappa_{1}+m)}{m!\,\Gamma(\kappa_{1})}\frac{\Gamma(\kappa_{2}+m)}{m!\,\Gamma(\kappa_{2})}p^{-m}\right\}, g(κ)=G(1+κ1)G(1+κ2)G(1+κ1+κ2).g(\boldsymbol{\kappa})=\frac{G(1+\kappa_{1})G(1+\kappa_{2})}{G(1+\kappa_{1}+\kappa_{2})}.

Keating–Snaith moment conjecture. For every such κ\boldsymbol{\kappa},

limT1T(logT)κ1κ20Texp(κlogζ(1/2+it))dt=a(κ)g(κ).\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T(\log T)^{\kappa_{1}\kappa_{2}}}\int_{0}^{T}\exp\bigl(\boldsymbol{\kappa}\circ\log\zeta(1/2+it)\bigr)\,dt=a(\boldsymbol{\kappa})g(\boldsymbol{\kappa}).

This conjecture predicts the precise asymptotic moments of the zeta-function on the critical line, with an arithmetic factor and a random-matrix factor. It is essentially due to Keating and Snaith and remains open in this generality.
