High pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta function (Q1634433): Difference between revisions

The \(k\)th pseudomoment of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)\), \(s=\sigma+it\), is defined by \[ {\mathcal M}_k(N)=\lim\limits_{T \to \infty}\frac{1}{T}\bigg|S_N\zeta\bigg(\frac{1}{2}+it\bigg)\bigg|^{2k}dt, \] where \(S_N\zeta(s)\) is the \(N\)th partial sum of \(\zeta(s)\). The authors improve the upper and lower bounds for the constants in the estimate \({\mathcal M}_k(N)\asymp_k(\log N)^{k^2}\) as \(N \to \infty\) for fixed \(k \geq 1\). More precisely, it is proved that Uniformly for \(2 \leq k \leq c\sqrt{\log\log N}\) it holds that \[ \frac{{\mathcal M}_k(N)}{(\log N)^{k^2}} \geq \exp\bigg( -k^2\log k-k^2 \log\log k+O(k^2)\bigg), \] and uniformly for \(2 \leq k \leq C_1 \log N / \log\log N\), \[ \frac{{\mathcal M}_k(N)}{(\log N)^{k^2}} \leq \exp\bigg( -k^2\log k-k^2 \log\log k+O(k^2)\bigg). \] The upper bound does not hold for \(k=C_2\log N / \log\log N\). Also uniform ranges of \(k\) where improved estimates hold and with certain condition on \({\mathcal M}_k(N)\) are studied.
