PIMS CRG Seminar Series: L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Anurag Sahay

Hybrid

Topic: 

The value distribution of the Hurwitz zeta function with an irrational shift [video]

Description: 

The Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s, α) is a shifted integer analogue of the Riemann
zeta function which shares many of its properties, but is not an ”L-function” under
any reasonable definition of the word. We will first review the basics of the value
distribution of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip (moments, Bohr–Jessen
theory...) and then contrast it with the value distribution of the Hurwitz zeta function.

Our focus will be on shift parameters α /∈ Q, i.e., algebraic irrational or transcen-
dental. We will present a new result (joint with Winston Heap) on moments of these

objects on the critical line.
