Large deviations of the Riemann zeta function

Sun Kai Leung

(University of Oxford)

Abstract

Selberg’s central limit theorem shows that the modulus of the Riemann zeta function is asymptotically log-normal. Recent work has extended the theorem to the large-value regime. In this talk, I will survey these results and discuss ongoing work on the small-value regime, where new behavior emerges.
