Random Riemann Zeta Function — Integral Means Spectrum

Description

Methodology for studying the integral means spectrum of the primitive of the randomized Riemann zeta function. The random zeta-function (introduced by Bagchi) represents the asymptotic statistical behaviour of random vertical shifts of the actual zeta-function in the critical strip. This work proves that the complex integral means spectrum is almost surely of the form conjectured 30 years ago by Kraetzer for the universal integral means spectrum of univalent functions in the disc. The connection to Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC, initiated by Kahane 40 years ago) provides a rigorous probabilistic framework linking number theory to conformal geometry.

Core Methodology

Step 1: Define the Randomized Zeta Function

The randomized zeta-function models vertical shifts of ζ(s) in the critical strip. Given a random variable X uniformly distributed on [0,T], the shifted function ζ(s+iX) converges in distribution to the randomized zeta as T→∞.

Step 2: Construct the Primitive

Consider the analytic function F whose derivative is the randomized zeta-function: F'(z) = ζ_random(z)

The primitive F maps the unit disc to a random domain.

Step 3: Compute the Integral Means Spectrum

For p ∈ ℂ, the integral means spectrum β(p) is defined as: β(p) = lim_{r→1⁻} log ∫₀^{2π} |F'(re^{iθ})|^p dθ / log(1/(1-r))

Step 4: Apply GMC Theory

The connection to Gaussian multiplicative chaos:

• |ζ(1/2 + it)| behaves like exp(G(t)) where G is approximately a log-correlated Gaussian field
• The GMC measure μ_γ(dx) = exp(γG(x) - γ²E[G(x)²]/2) dx captures the multifractal structure
• The integral means spectrum of F relates to the multifractal spectrum of the GMC measure

Step 5: Verify Kraetzer's Conjecture

Kraetzer's conjecture for the universal integral means spectrum: β(p) = (1/2)(|p|² - 1) for |p| ≤ 1 (interior) β(p) = |p| - 1/2 for |p| ≥ 1 (exterior)

This is the same spectrum as the whole-plane SLE (Schramm-Loewner Evolution) with κ=6.

Mathematical Framework

Key Results

1. Almost sure convergence: The integral means spectrum converges almost surely to Kraetzer's form
2. Probability + analytic number theory: The proof combines probabilistic methods (GMC theory) with classical analytic number theory techniques
3. Universality: The same spectrum appears across different random models, suggesting deep universality

Connections

• Random matrix theory: Zeros of zeta function ↔ eigenvalues of random matrices (GUE)
• Conformal field theory: Integral means spectrum ↔ scaling dimensions in CFT
• Multifractal analysis: Spectrum encodes the singularity structure of the random measure
• SLE theory: Connection to Schramm-Loewner Evolution (κ=6, percolation)

Usage Patterns

Analyzing Zeta Function Statistics

Use when studying the statistical properties of ζ(s) along the critical line, particularly moments and maxima on short intervals.

GMC-Based Number Theory

Apply GMC methods to number-theoretic objects when classical analytic techniques are insufficient for probabilistic questions.

Conformal Mapping from Number Theory

Study how number-theoretic functions generate random conformal maps and their geometric properties.

Best Practices

1. Understand GMC basics: Familiarity with Kahane's construction and the KPZ formula is essential
2. Distinguish random vs. actual zeta: The random model captures asymptotic statistics, not pointwise behavior
3. Check universality class: Kraetzer's spectrum applies to the universality class of log-correlated fields
4. Verify convergence conditions: The almost sure result requires careful handling of the limit T→∞

Limitations

• The random model captures statistical behavior, not individual properties of ζ(s)
• The proof is existential (almost sure) rather than constructive
• Extensions to other L-functions require separate analysis
