Join WiM on February 28, 2023, for aÌý45 MinuteÌýtalk withÌýProfessorÌýMatilde LalÃnÌýfollowed by aÌýQ&A session and refreshments.
Ìýto attend theÌýWiM Winter Colloquium 2023.
This event is open to all students and other members of the faculty of mathematics and their friends.Ìý
Abstract
The Riemann zeta function playsÌýaÌýcentral role in our understanding of prime numbers. In this talk, we will review some of its amazing properties as well as properties of other similarÌýfunctions, the DirichletÌýL-functions. We will then see how the method of moments can help us in the study ofÌýL-functionsÌýand some surprising properties of theirÌývalues. Finally, we will present some recent results aboutÌýL-functionsÌýassociatedÌýwithÌýcubic characters.Ìý
