L-Functions in Analytic Number Theory
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.

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Siegfred Baluyot
In the late 90's, Keating and Snaith used random matrix theory to predict the exact leading terms of conjectural asymptotic formulas for all integral moments of the Riemann zeta-function. Prior to their work, no number-theoretic argument or heuristic...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Andrew Pearce-Crump
In the 1960s Shanks conjectured that the $\zeta(\rho)$, where $\rho$ is a non-trivial zero of zeta, is both real and positive in the mean. Conjecturing and proving this result has a rich history, but efforts to generalise it to higher moments have so...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Shivani Goel
The Hardy and Littlewood k-tuple prime conjecture is one of the most enduring unsolved problems in mathematics. In 1999, Gadiyar and Padma presented a heuristic derivation of the 2-tuples conjecture by employing the orthogonality principle of...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Lucile Devin
Generalizing the original Chebyshev bias can go in many directions: one can adapt the setting to virtually any equidistribution result encoded by a finite number of L-functions. In this talk, we will discuss what happens when one needs an infinite...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Vorrapan Chandee
In this talk, I will discuss my on-going joint work with Xiannan Li on an unconditional asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Γ1(q) L-functions, which are associated with eigenforms for the congruence subgroups Γ1(q). Similar to a large family...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Neea Palojärvi
The Selberg class consists of functions sharing similar properties to the Riemann zeta function. The Riemann zeta function is one example of the functions in this class. The estimates for logarithms of Selberg class functions and their logarithmic...

For an integer k≥3; Δk (x) :=∑n≤xdk(n)-Ress=1 (ζk(s)xs/s), where dk(n) is the k-fold divisor function, and ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta-function. In the 1950's, Tong showed for all large enough X; Δk(x) changes sign at least once in the interval [X, X +...

We prove an explicit formula for the first moment of Maass form symmetric square L-functions defined over Gaussian integers. As a consequence, we derive a new upper bound for the second moment. This is joint work with Dmitry Frolenkov.
