For info, the Part 1 will take place in Lipschitz Saal, Uni Bonn (Endenicher Allee 60),
Tuesday 12th June, 9h00-10h45.
I will review some aspects of the theory of the Riemann zeta-function, especially those aspects relating to the value distribution of the zeta function on the critical line and the connections with Random Matrix Theory. I will then review conjectural connections between the extreme value statistics of the zeta function and those of log-correlated Gaussian fields, recent progress towards developing a rigorous understanding of these, and open problems.
