Abstract:

We will present a matching upper and lower bound for the right tail
probability of the maximum of a random model of the Riemann zeta function over
short intervals. In particular, we show that the right tail interpolates
between that of log-correlated and IID random variables as the interval varies
in length. We will also discuss a new normalization for the moments over short
intervals. This result follows the recent work of Arguin-Dubach-Hartung and is inspired by a conjecture by Fyodorov-Hiary-Keating on the local maximum over
short intervals.
