Riemann ζ Zeros & Random Matrix Theory

The non-trivial zeros of ζ(s) all lie on Re(s)=1/2 (Riemann Hypothesis, unproven). Montgomery (1973) discovered their pair correlation matches GUE (Gaussian Unitary Ensemble) statistics from random matrix theory — the zeros "repel" like eigenvalues of large random Hermitian matrices.
