Topic: A connection between zeros and central values of L-functions
Date: Monday, March 30
Location: Markin Hall | M1060
Time: 12:15-1:15 p.m.
L-functions appear as generating functions encapsulating information about various objects such as Galois representations, elliptic curves, arithmetic functions, modular forms, Maass forms, etc. Studying L-functions is therefore of utmost importance in number theory at large. Two of their attached data carry critical information: their zeros, which govern the distributional behavior of underlying objects; and their central values, which are related to invariants such as the class number of a field extension
