We consider the Riemann zeta function $\\zeta(s)$ in the $t$-aspect, Dirichlet $L$-functions in the $q$-aspect, and $L$-functions attached to primitive holomorphic cusp forms of weight $2$ in the level aspect. For each family we show that the $L$-values can be very well modeled by an adequate random Euler product, uniformly in a wide range. We also prove new $\\Omega$-results for quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions (predicted to be best possible by the probabilistic model) conditionally on GRH, and other results related to large moments of $\\zeta(\\sigma+it)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-01-09T19:11:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06", "11F66", "60F10" ], "keywords": [ "extreme values", "distribution", "adequate random euler product", "riemann zeta function", "primitive holomorphic cusp forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.4640L" } } }
