We argue that the freezing transition scenario, previously conjectured to occur in the statistical mechanics of 1/f-noise random energy models, governs, after reinterpretation, the value distribution of the maximum of the modulus of the…
We present the results of systematic numerical computations relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices drawn from the Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE) of Random Matrix Theory. In…
We show in this paper that after proper scalings, the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix converges almost surely to a random analytic function whose zeros, which are on the real line, form a determinantal point process…
Results of extensive computations of moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line are presented. Calculated values are compared with predictions motivated by random matrix theory. The results can help in deciding between those…
Number theorists have studied extensively the connections between the distribution of zeros of the Riemann $\zeta$-function, and of some generalizations, with the statistics of the eigenvalues of large random matrices. It is interesting to…
We study the density of the roots of the derivative of the characteristic polynomial Z(U,z) of an N x N random unitary matrix with distribution given by Haar measure on the unitary group. Based on previous random matrix theory models of the…
Motivated by recently discovered relations between logarithmically correlated Gaussian processes and characteristic polynomials of large random $N \times N$ matrices $H$ from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE), we consider the problem of…
We consider a model of the Riemann zeta function on the critical axis and study its maximum over intervals of length $(\log T)^{\theta}$, where $\theta$ is either fixed or tends to zero at a suitable rate. It is shown that the deterministic…
We consider the number ${\cal N}_{\theta_A}(\theta)$ of eigenvalues $e^{i \theta_j}$ of a random unitary matrix, drawn from CUE$_{\beta}(N)$, in the interval $\theta_j \in [\theta_A,\theta]$. The deviations from its mean, ${\cal…
In this paper, we investigate the extremal values of (the logarithm of) the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix whose spectrum is distributed according the Circular Beta Ensemble (C$\beta$E). More precisely, if $X_n$ is…
It has been conjectured that the statistical properties of zeros of the Riemann zeta function near $z = 1/2 + \ui E$ tend, as $E \to \infty$, to the distribution of eigenvalues of large random matrices from the Unitary Ensemble. At finite…
In a recent article we have discussed the connections between averages of powers of Riemann's $\zeta$-function on the critical line, and averages of characteristic polynomials of random matrices. The result for random matrices was shown to…
Moments of moments of the Riemann zeta function, defined by \[ \text{MoM}_T (k,\beta) = \frac{1}{T} \int_T^{2T} \left( \int_{ |h|\leq (\log T)^\theta}|\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2} + i t + ih)|^{2\beta} dh \right)^k dt \] where $k,\beta \geq 0$ and…
In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…
We investigate some implications of the freezing scenario proposed by Carpentier and Le Doussal (CLD) for a random energy model (REM) with logarithmically correlated random potential. We introduce a particular (circular) variant of the…
We review recent progress relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random matrices associated with the classical compact groups, and of the Riemann zeta-function and other $L$-functions, in the context…
We calculate the discrete moments of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix, evaluated a small distance away from an eigenangle. Such results allow us to make conjectures about similar moments for the Riemann zeta…
We examine published arguments which suggest that the Riemann Hypothesis may not be true. In each case we provide evidence to explain why the claimed argument does not provide a good reason to doubt the Riemann Hypothesis. The evidence we…
We investigate the horizontal distribution of zeros of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function and compare this to the radial distribution of zeros of the derivative of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix. Both…
In this article, we provide a unified framework for studying the convergence of rescaled characteristic polynomials of random matrices from various classical ensembles as well as functional convergence results for the Riemann zeta function.…
