A moment with L-functions

-
Type
Abstract

The Riemann zeta function plays a central role in our understanding of prime numbers. In this talk, we will review some of its amazing properties as well as properties of other similar functions, the Dirichlet L-functions. We will then see how the method of moments can help us study L-functions and some surprising properties of their values. Finally, we will discuss some recent results about L-functions associated with cubic characters.
