Abstract

We obtain lower bounds of the correct order of magnitude for the 2kth moment of the Riemann zeta function for all k≥1. Previously such lower bounds were known only for rational values of k, with the bounds depending on the height of the rational number k. Our new bounds are continuous in k, and thus extend also to the case when k is irrational. The method is a refinement of an approach of Rudnick and Soundararajan, and applies also to moments of L-functions in families.
