L-Functions in Analytic Number Theory

2022 2025

Analytic number theory focuses on arithmetic questions through the lens of L-functions. These generating series encode arithmetic information and have connections with a host of other mathematical fields, such as algebraic number theory, harmonic analysis, Diophantine approximation, probability, representation theory, and computational number theory. The main focuses of this CRG include moments of L-functions and automorphic forms, explicit results in analytic number theory, and comparative prime number theory.

Subconvexity problems have maintained extreme interest in analytic number theory for decades. Critical barriers such as the convexity, Burgess, and Weyl bounds hold particular interest because one usually needs to drastically adjust the analytic...

There are two ways to compute moments in families of L-functions: one uses the approximation by Dirichlet polynomials, and the other is based on multiple Dirichlet series. We will introduce the two methods to study the family of real Dirichlet L...

We study sums of the form ∑n≤x f(n) n⁻ⁱʸ, where f is an arithmetic function, and we establish an equivalence between the Riemann Hypothesis and estimates on these sums. In this talk, we will explore examples of such sums with specific arithmetic...

We will present a matching upper and lower bound for the right tail probability of the maximum of a random model of the Riemann zeta function over short intervals. In particular, we show that the right tail interpolates between that of log-correlated...

A zero-free region of the Riemann zeta-function is a subset of the complex plane where the zeta-function is known to not vanish. In this talk we will discuss various computational and analytic techniques used to enlarge the zero-free region for the...

In this talk, we will discuss a well-known formula of Ramanujan and its relationship with the partial sums of the Möbius function. Under some conjectures, we analyze a finer structure of the involved terms. It is a joint work with Steven M. Gonek...

In 1909, Thue proved that when $F(x,y)$ is an irreducible, homogeneous, polynomial with integer coefficients and degree at least 3, the inequality $\left\| F(x,y) \right\| \leq h$ has finitely many integer-pair solutions for any positive $h$. Because...

Fix $N\geq 1$ and let $L_1, L_2, \ldots, L_N$ be Dirichlet L-functions with distinct, primitive and even Dirichlet characters. We assume that these functions satisfy the same functional equation. Let $F(s)∶= c_1L_1(s)+c_2L_2(s)+\ldots+c_NL_N(s)$ be a...

I will discuss the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions where we prove an asymptotic formula with four main terms unconditionally. Previously, the asymptotic formula was established with the leading main term under generalized Riemann...
