3. Number Theory and Zeta
-
Problem 3.2.
Where is the arithmetic part in $P(s)$, the spacing distribution between zeros of the zeta function, for $\zeta(1/2+it)$? Can arithmetic corrections be found? -
We denote by $E_N(0,s)$ the measure of the set of matrices in $U(N)$ with no normalised eigenangle within $(0,s)$. Then we have that \[E_N(0,s)=\sum_{n=0}^N\frac{(-1)^n}{n!}\int_{\left[-\frac{s}{2},\frac{s}{2}\right]^n}\det_{n\times n}S_N(x_i-x_j)dx_1\dots dx_n\] where $S_N(\theta)=\frac{\sin\frac{N\theta}{2}}{\sin\frac{\theta}{2}}$.
Problem 3.3.
Find the small $s$ expansion for $E_N(0,s)$ - coefficients are polynomials in $N$. Find this expansion for all number theoretic ensembles in the literature. -
Recall that \[\zeta^k(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{d_k(n)}{n^s},\] and consider the truncated sum $\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{d_k(n)}{n^s}$. Then compute \[\lim_{T\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{(\log T)^{k^2}T}\int_0^T\left|\sum_{n=1}^{T^\alpha}\frac{d_k(n)}{n^{1/2+it}}\right|^2\frac{dt}{a_k}\overset{?}{=}\text{Piecewise Poly}_{k^2}(\alpha), \] where the equality is conjectured. Further, Keating et al showed that \[\mathbb{E}\left|\sum_{j_1+\dots+j_k=j}Sc_{j_1}(t)\dots Sc_{j_k}(t)\right|^2=\text{Piecewise Poly}(j/N).\] The $SC_i$ above are Secular coefficients.Reference: Keating et al.

Problem 3.4.
Prove the connection between these two equations - it is claimed that one is derivative of the other. -
Problem 3.5.
Is there a formulation of the Riemann Hypothesis in Function Fields in terms of Hankel determinants? -
Problem 3.6.
Within random matrix theory, how does one distinguish the diagonal and off-diagonal contributions (from the point of view of Number Theory)? Is there a statistic one can write down?
