The CFKRS moment conjecture for the Riemann zeta function

At least 23 years old · documented by

The Riemann zeta function is defined by [...ELLIPSIZATION...[... ELLIPSIZATION... and continued meromorphically to the complex plane. For complex shifts [...ELLIPSIZATION...[... ELLIPSIZATION..., define the 2k2k-point autocorrelation integral by the left-hand side below, and let WkW_k be the explicit expression involving the permutation set [...ELLIPSIZATION...[... ELLIPSIZATION... and Euler product AkA_k given in the statement. CFKRS moment conjecture. For suitable shifts and [...ELLIPSIZATION...[... ELLIPSIZATION..., the autocorrelation is given by

∫0Tζ(12+α1+it)⋯ζ(12+αk+it)ζ(12−αk+1−it)⋯ζ(12−α2k−it) dt=∫0TWk(t;α1,…,αk;αk+1,…,α2k)(1+O(t−1/2+ϵ)) dt.\int_0^T \zeta(\tfrac12+\alpha_1+it)\cdots \zeta(\tfrac12+\alpha_k+it)\zeta(\tfrac12-\alpha_{k+1}-it)\cdots\zeta(\tfrac12-\alpha_{2k}-it)\,dt =\int_0^T W_k(t;\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k;\alpha_{k+1},\ldots,\alpha_{2k})(1+O(t^{-1/2+\epsilon}))\,dt.

Here WkW_k is the expression displayed in the source, with Ξ\Xi the set of (2kk)\binom{2k}{k} block-preserving permutations and AkA_k the displayed Euler product. This is a conjectural asymptotic formula for zeta moments; the source presents it as the main comparison with random matrix theory and does not provide a resolution.
