The ubiquity of logarithmically correlated fields

Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata - Dipartimento di Matematica

  • Italy
  • Mathematics

In 2012 Fyodorov, Hiary, and Keating formulated a striking conjecture: the maxima of log-determinants of large random matrices behave like those of logarithmically correlated fields. Surprisingly, they conjectured that also the Riemann zeta function belongs to this log-correlated group. While there has been huge progress in proving this conjecture, most of the current results are for integrable models. The goal of th
