Abstract: We argue that the freezing transition scenario, previously conjectured to occur in the statistical mechanics of 1/f-noise random energy models, governs, after reinterpretation, the value distribution of the maximum of the modulus of the characteristic polynomials p_N( heta) of large N imes N random unitary (CUE) matrices; i.e. the extreme value statistics of p_N( heta) when N ightarrowinfty. In addition, we argue that it leads to multifractal-like behaviour in the total length mu_N(x) of the intervals in which |p_N( heta)|>N^x, x>0, in the same limit. We speculate that our results extend to the large values taken by the Riemann zeta-function zeta(s) over stretches of the critical line s=1/2+it of given constant length, and present the results of numerical computations of the large values of zeta(1/2+it). Our main purpose is to draw attention to the unexpected connections between these different extreme value problems.
