Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the shifted moments of the zeta function Mα,β(T) = ∫T2T ∏k = 1m |ζ(\tfrac12 + i (t + αk))|2 βk dt introduced by Chandee, where α = α(T) = (α1, …, αm) and β = (β1 … , βm) satisfy |αk| ≤ T/2 and βk≥ 0. We shall prove that Mα,β(T) ≪β T (log T)β12 + ⋯ + βm2 ∏1≤ j lt; k ≤ m |ζ(1 + i(αj - αk) + 1/ log T )|2βj βk. This improves upon the previous best known bounds due to Chandee and Ng, Shen, and Wong, particularly when the differences |αj - αk| are unbounded as T → ∞. The key insight is to combine work of Heap, Radziwiłł, and Soundararajan and work of the author with the work of Harper on the moments of the zeta function.
