Hardy and Littlewood initiated the study of the $2k$-th moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. In 1918 Hardy and Littlewood established an asymptotic formula for the second moment and in 1926 Ingham established an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment. Since then no other moments have been asymptotically evaluated. In this article we study the sixth moment of the zeta function on the critical line. We show that a conjectural formula for a certain family of ternary…

. In this article, we establish an asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of the Riemann zeta function, assuming the Riemann hypothesis and a quaternary additive divisor conjecture. This builds on
This article concerns the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta-function, and related L-functions. We begin with a brief discussion of L-values at the edge of the critical strip, which give

. We reﬁne a recent heuristic developed by Keating and the second author. Our improvement leads to a new integral expression for the conjectured asymptotic formula for shifted moments of the Riemann
We study the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet L -functions at $$s= \frac{1}{2}$$ s = 1 2 . We show an asymptotic formula under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and obtain a precise lower bound
Let ζ(s) = ∑∞ n=1 τk(n)n −s,<s > 1. We present three conditional results on the additive correlation sum ∑ n≤X τ3(n)τ3(n+ h) and give numerical verifications of our method. The first is a conditional
