2009 Number Theory Seminar - 03
- Date: 01/29/2009
Lecturer(s):
Mark Watkins (University of Sydney)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
A survey of L-function computations
Description:
This talk will be in two parts. The first will give an idea of what
computations are possible with L-functions, and what uses they have.
The second part will give more explicit details for some of the work
being done under a Focused Research Group grant from the NSF. In
particular, we will describe work concerning the number of rank 4
twists of the congruent number curve (still in progress), and some
eta-quotient expressions for various Waldspurger lifts of modular forms.
