The Keating-Snaith conjecture for quadratic twists of elliptic curves predicts the central values should have a log-normal distribution. I present recent progress towards establishing this in the range of large deviations of order of the variance. This extends Selberg’s Central Limit Theorem from ranges of order of the standard deviation to ranges of order of the variance in a variety of contexts, inspired by random walk theory. It is inspired by recent work on large deviations of the zeta function and central values of L-functions.
