Hugh Montgomery

Hugh Montgomery is an American mathematician who works in analytic number theory and served as a professor at the University of Michigan.

He is widely known for the pair correlation conjecture on the spacing between zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The conjecture led to the observation that the statistics of these spacings resemble those of eigenvalues of random matrices.
