Who is Nina Snaith?
Nina Claire Snaith is a British mathematician at the University of Bristol working in random matrix theory and quantum chaos.
In 1998, she and her then adviser Jon Keating conjectured a value for the leading coefficient of the asymptotics of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. Keating and Snaith's guessed value for the constant was based on random-matrix theory, following a trend that started with Montgomery's pair correlation conjecture. Keating's and Snaith's work was preceded by work by Conrey, Ghosh and Gonek, also conjectural, based on number theoretic heuristics; Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein, and Snaith later conjectured the lower terms in the asymptotics of the moments. Snaith's work appeared in her doctoral thesis Random Matrix Theory and zeta functions.
Nina Snaith is the sister of mathematician and musician Daniel Snaith, better known as Caribou.
