Conjecture on moments of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function

From papers

Let kk be a positive integer, let θ(t)\theta(t) be the Riemann–Siegel theta function, and define Hardy's function by Z(t)=eiθ(t)ζ(1/2+it)Z(t)=e^{i\theta(t)}\zeta(1/2+it). Let aka_k be the arithmetic factor

ak=bprodp(11p)k2bsumm=0(bGamma(m+k)m!bGamma(k))2pm.a_k=bprod_p\left(1-\tfrac{1}{p}\right)^{k^2}bsum_{m=0}^{\infty}\left(\frac{bGamma(m+k)}{m!\,bGamma(k)}\right)^2p^{-m}.

Let bkb_k and bkb_k' be the constants defined by the corresponding characteristic-polynomial moment asymptotics. Zeta-derivative moment conjecture. As TT\to\infty,

1T0Tζ(1/2+it)2kdtakbklog(T)k2+2k,\frac{1}{T}\int_0^T|\zeta'(1/2+it)|^{2k}\,dt\sim a_kb_k\log(T)^{k^2+2k},

and, similarly,

1T0TZ(t)2kdtakbklog(T)k2+2k.\frac{1}{T}\int_0^T|Z'(t)|^{2k}\,dt\sim a_kb_k'\log(T)^{k^2+2k}.

These predictions are obtained from the random-matrix model for the Riemann zeta-function and its derivative. The paper establishes the corresponding asymptotics for derivatives of characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices, while the zeta-function and Hardy-function moment asymptotics remain conjectural.
