摘要

Building on earlier work introducing the notion of "mod-Gaussian" convergence of sequences of random variables, which arises naturally in Random Matrix Theory and number theory, we discuss the analogue notion of "mod-Poisson" convergence. We show in particular how it occurs naturally in analytic number theory in the classical Erdos- Kac Theorem. In fact, this case reveals deep connections and analogies with conjectures concerning the distribution of L functions on the critical line, which belong to the mod-Gaussian framework, and with analogues over finite fields, where it can be seen as a zero-dimensional version of the Katz-Sarnak philosophy in the "large conductor" limit.
