Promotion Colloquium for Dr. Matthew Young
Date: September 18, 2014
Time: 4:00PM - 5:00PM
Location: BLOC 117
Speaker: Professor Matthew Young, Texas A&M University
Description:
Title: Moments of L-functions
Abstract:
Mean values of L-functions have been well-studied over many years in large part because they can serve as a way to sidestep the Riemann Hypothesis (and its generalizations) in solving arithmetical problems. I will discuss some of my recent work in this area, with emphasis on some problems in spectral geometry that can be solved using L-functions.
