PIMS CRG Seminar Series: L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Xiannan Li
Event Recap
This event took place via zoom and a recording is available on mathtube.org.
Topic
Quadratic twists of modular L-functions
Speakers
Details
The behavior of quadratic twists of modular L-functions at the critical point is related both to coefficients of half integer weight modular forms and data on elliptic curves. Here we describe a proof of an asymptotic for the second moment of this family of L-functions, previously available conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis by the work of Soundararajan and Young. Our proof depends on deriving
an optimal large sieve type bound.
This event is part of the PIMS CRG Group on L-Functions in Analytic Number Theory. More details can be found on the webpage here: https://sites.google.com/view/crgl-functions/crg-weekly-seminar
