COMMENTS
This constant, c, appears in the conjectured asymptotic formula for the sixth power moment of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line: Integral_{t=0..T} |zeta(1/2 + i*t)|^6 dt ~ (42/9!) * c * T * log(T)^9 (Conrey and Gosh, 1989; Keating and Snaith, 1998; Conrey and Gonek, 2001).
Hardy and Littlewood (1918) proved that Integral_{t=0..T} |zeta(1/2 + i*t)|^2 dt ~ T * log(T), and Ingham (1926) proved that Integral_{t=0..T} |zeta(1/2 + i*t)|^4 dt ~ (1/(2*Pi^2)) * T * log(T)^4.
