Freezing transition for the Riemann zeta function on a short interval

In this talk, we will present a proof of the freezing transition for the Riemann zeta function as conjectured by Fyodorov, Hiary & Keating. The connection with log-correlated fields will be emphasized. The problem is related to understanding moments of zeta on a typical short interval. The proof relies on techniques developed to understand the leading order of the maximum of zeta. If time permits, we will discuss the “one-step replica symmetry breaking behaviour” (1-RSB) which can be proved for a simplified model of zeta.
