The Arithmetics Statistic postdoc seminar, organized by Jonathan Bober and Kaneenika Sinha, meets Mondays from 10 to 10:50 a.m. The Free Boundary Problems postdoc seminar meets immediately afterwards, and then MSRI will have pizza for us at 12.

The current tentative schedule is below.

  • February 7th, Andrew Yang: "Low-Lying zeros of Dedekind zeta functions"
  • Abstract: The Katz-Sarnak philosophy asserts that to any "naturally defined family" of L-functions, there should be an associated symmetry group which determines the distribution of the low-lying zeros (as well as other statistics) of those L-functions. We consider the family of Dedekind zeta functions of cubic number fields, and we predict that the associated symmetry group is symplectic. There are three main ingredients: the explicit formula, work of Davenport-Heilbronn on counting cubic fields and the proportion of fields in which rational primes have given splitting type, and power-saving error terms for these counts, first obtained by Belabas-Bhargava-Pomerance.
