We study the one-level density of zeros for a family of $\Gamma_1(q)$ $L$-functions. Assuming GRH, we are able to extend the support of the Fourier transform of the test function to $\left(-\frac{8}{3},\frac{8}{3}\right)$ and verify the…

The moments of central values of families of L-functions have recently attracted much attention and, with the work of Keating and Snaith, there are now precise conjectures for their limiting values. We develop a simple method to establish…

We study the low lying zeros of $GL(2) \times GL(2)$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we compute the $1$-level density of the low-lying zeroes of $L(s, f \otimes g)$ averaged over families of…

In certain classes of subharmonic functions u on C distinguished in terms of lower bounds for the Riesz measure of u, a sharp estimate is obtained for the rate of approximation by functions of the form log |f(z)|, where f is an entire…

Katz and Sarnak conjectured that the behavior of zeros near the central point of any family of $L$-functions is well-modeled by the behavior of eigenvalues near $1$ of some classical compact group (either the symplectic, unitary, or even,…

In this paper we present results of several experiments in which we model the repulsion of low-lying zeros of L-functions using random matrix theory. Previous work has typically focused on the twists of L-functions associated to elliptic…

The Katz-Sarnak Density Conjecture states that the behavior of zeros of a family of $L$-functions near the central point (as the conductors tend to zero) agrees with the behavior of eigenvalues near 1 of a classical compact group (as the…

We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

In this paper, we study lower bounds of a general family of $L$-functions on the $1$-line. More precisely, we show that for any $F(s)$ in this family, there exists arbitrary large $t$ such that $F(1+it)\geq e^{\gamma_F} (\log_2 t + \log_3…

We calculate the one-level density of thin subfamilies of a family of Hecke cuspforms formed by twisting the forms in a smaller family by a character. The result gives support up to 1, conditional on GRH, and we also find several of the…

We compute the one-level density for the family of cubic Dirichlet $L$-functions when the support of the Fourier transform of a test function is in $(-1,1)$. We also establish the Ratios conjecture prediction for the one-level density for…

Dwork's conjecture, now proven by Wan, states that unit root L-functions "coming from geometry" are p-adic meromorphic. In this paper we study the p-adic variation of a family of unit root L-functions coming from a suitable family of toric…

It is believed that, in the limit as the conductor tends to infinity, correlations between the zeros of elliptic curve $L$-functions averaged within families follow the distribution laws of the eigenvalues of random matrices drawn from the…

The infinity symmetric power $L$-functions play a fundamental role in Wan's groundbreaking work on Dwork's conjecture[16]. Building upon this foundation, Haessig[8] established the $p$-adic estimates for these $L$-functions in the case of…

We study various families of Artin $L$-functions attached to geometric parametrizations of number fields. In each case we find the Sato-Tate measure of the family and determine the symmetry type of the distribution of the low-lying zeros.
