L-functions in Analytic Number Theory Seminar: Valeriya Kovaleva

In this talk we will discuss the behaviour of the Riemann zeta on the critical line, and in particular, its correlations in various ranges. We will prove a new result for correlations of squares, where shifts may be up to size T3/2-ε. We will also...

In 1973, assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH), Montgomery studied the vertical distribution of zeta zeros, and conjectured that they behave like the eigenvalues of some random matrices. We will discuss some models for zeta zeros - starting from the...

Let us ask: What is a "strong" matrix property and why is such a property useful for studying eigenvalues of graphs? During this talk we will attempt to address both questions above by first wandering through some of the developed strong matrix...

An $H$-intersecting family of 3-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ labelled vertices is a family of hypergraphs $\mathcal{F}$ such that for any pair of hypergraphs $G_1, G_2 \in \mathcal{F}$, the intersection $G_1 \cap G_2$ contains a copy of $H$ as a...

In topology, cohomology is an invariant we can assign to spaces. In algebra, there are also cohomology theories for various algebraic structures, such as group cohomology, Lie algebra cohomology, and André-Quillen cohomology of commutative rings...
