Riemann zeros and random matrix theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past dozen years random matrix theory has become a useful tool for conjecturing answers to old and important questions in number theory. It was through the Riemann zeta function that the connection with random matrix theory was first made in the 1970s, and although there has also been much recent work concerning other varieties of L-functions, this article will concentrate on the zeta function as the simplest example illustrating the role of random matrix theory.

Random matrices and L-functions
In recent years there has been a growing interest in connections between the statistical properties of number theoretical L-functions and random matrix theory. We review the history of these connections, some of the major achievements and a number of applications. PACS numbers: 02.10.De, 02.10.Yn 1. The history in brief Number theory and random matrix theory met, by chance, over a cup of tea in...
متن کاملQuantum chaos, random matrix theory, and the Riemann ζ-function
Hilbert and Pólya put forward the idea that the zeros of the Riemann zeta function may have a spectral origin : the values of tn such that 1 2 + itn is a non trivial zero of ζ might be the eigenvalues of a self-adjoint operator. This would imply the Riemann Hypothesis. From the perspective of Physics one might go further and consider the possibility that the operator in question corresponds to ...

We review some of the connections between Random Matrix Theory and Number Theory. These include modelling the value distributions of the Riemann zeta-function and other L-functions, and the statistical distribution of their zeros. 1.
متن کاملApplications of Wirtinger Inequalities on the Distribution of Zeros of the Riemann Zeta-Function
On the hypothesis that the 2k th moments of the Hardy Z-function are correctly predicted by random matrix theory and the moments of the derivative of Z are correctly predicted by the derivative of the characteristic polynomials of unitary matrices, we establish new large spaces between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function by employing some Wirtinger-type inequalities. In particular, it is obt...
متن کاملRandom Matrix Approaches in Number Theory
The connection between random matrix theory and the Riemann zeta function was established in 1973 when Montgomery, who had conjectured the 2-point correlations of the Riemann zeros, and Dyson, who was interested in similar statistics of the eigenvalues of ensembles of unitary matrices, realized that the formulae they had discovered independently were in fact identical in a natural asymptotic li...
