MATH Seminar: “The Burgess bound and zeros of Dirichlet L-functions”, Farzad Aryan, 1:30PM November 19 2024 (EN)

You are cordially invited to the Number Theory Seminar organized by the Department of Mathematics.

Speaker: Farzad Aryan (PM Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences in Tehran)

“The Burgess bound and zeros of Dirichlet L-functions”

Abstract: The Burgess bound for character sums essentially implies there is a quadratic non-residue up to a power of p^(1/4√e) but we’d expect there to be one much smaller. Assuming to the contrary that this estimate is in fact optimal, we investigate some of the consequences for the distribution of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions.
