The limsup conjecture for the zeta zero-counting error term

Let S(t)S(t) denote the error term in the number of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function up to height tt. Limsup conjecture.

lim suptS(t)logtloglogt=1π2.\limsup_{t\to\infty}\frac{S(t)}{\sqrt{\log t\log\log t}}=\frac{1}{\pi\sqrt{2}}.

The conjecture is motivated by arguments analogous to those used for large values of the zeta-function and predicts the precise leading constant for the extreme size of S(t)S(t).
