In previous work, the author gave upper bounds for the shifted moments of the zeta function Mα,β(T)=∫T2Tk=1∏m∣ζ(21+i(t+αk))∣2βkdt introduced by Chandee, where α=α(T)=(α1,…,αm) and β=(β1…,βm) satisfy ∣αk∣≤T/2 and βk≥0. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we shall prove the corresponding lower bounds: Mα,β(T)≫βT(logT)β12+⋯+βm21≤j<k≤m∏∣ζ(1+i(αj−αk)+1/logT)∣2βjβk.
