Approximating the mean square of the product of the Riemann zeta function with Dirichlet polynomials

Understanding the asymptotics of the mean square of the product of the Riemann zeta function with Dirichlet polynomials allows one to understand the distribution of values of L-functions. I will introduce the problem and describe several results from the paper of Bettin, Chandee and Radziwill who showed how to pass the so called theta=1/2 barrier for arbitrary Dirichlet polynomials. This will be a prep talk for Thursdays seminar.
