Zeros of Zeta and L-functions
Sponsor: National Security Agency
Award Amount: $19,989.00
The study of zeta and L-functions is a central topic in modern number theory, and they encode a great deal of arithmetic information. Apart from number theory, there are also connections between L-functions and many other areas of mathematics including algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, random matrix theory, and cryptography. Extending my previous research, this grant proposal explores connections between mean-values, or averages, of zeta and L-functions to the distributions of their zeros and non-zero values. In addition, I explore some newer techniques which incorporate, among other things, recent solutions to some extremal problems in Fourier analysis.
