The `excised ensemble', a random matrix model for the zeros of quadratic twist families of elliptic curve $L$-functions, was introduced by Due\~nez, Huynh, Keating, Miller and Snaith. The excised model is motivated by a formula for central…

We show that if one can compute a little more than a particular moment for some family of L-functions, then one has upper bounds of the conjectured order of magnitude for all smaller (positive, real) moments and a one-sided central limit…

We prove a new formula for the central value of the $L$-function $L(E_{D, \alpha}, 1)$ corresponding to the family of sextic twists over $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-3}]$ of elliptic curves $E_{D, \alpha}: y^2=x^3+16D^2\alpha^3$ for $D$ an integer…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of odd characteristic and $K= \mathbb{F}_q(t)$. For any integer $d\geq 2$ coprime to $q$, consider the elliptic curve $E_d$ over $K$ defined by $y^2=x(x^2+t^{2d} x-4t^{2d})$. We show that the rank of the…

For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible, cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$ ($n\geq 3$), which is tempered only for $n=3$. Let $s$ be a complex number such that $\Re(s)\notin \left[1/n, 1-1/n\right]$ if $n\neq 4$;…

In this paper, we generalize a work of Rohrlich. Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\phi$ be a Hecke character of $K$ of infinite type (1,0) whose restriction to $\mathbb{Q}$ is the quadratic character corresponding to…

We devise heuristics using multiple Dirichlet series to predict asymptotic formulas for shifted moments of (1) the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor $\leq Q$, with $Q$ a parameter tending to…

We provide a theoretical explanation for an observation of S. J. Miller that if L(s,E) is an elliptic curve L-function for which L(1/2, E) is nonzero, then the lowest lying zero of L(s,E) exhibits a repulsion from the critical point which…

Katz showed that the L-functions of all Dirichlet characters of F_q(t), with conductor a fixed power of a degree one prime, are equidistributed in the limit as q goes to infinity. We generalize this statement to the L-functions of twists of…

For every odd prime $p$, we exhibit families of irreducible Artin representations $\tau$ with the property that for every elliptic curve $E$ the order of the zero of the twisted $L$-function $L(E,\tau,s)$ at $s\!=\!1$ must be a…

We compare the L-Function Ratios Conjecture's prediction with number theory for the family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve with prime conductor, and show agreement in the 1-level density up to an error term of size…

If $E$ is an elliptic curve with a point of order two, then work of Klagsbrun and Lemke Oliver shows that the distribution of $\dim_{\mathbb{F}_2}\mathrm{Sel}_\phi(E^d/\mathbb{Q}) - \dim_{\mathbb{F}_2} \mathrm{Sel}_{\hat\phi}(E^{\prime…

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…

For a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi\pmod q$ we let \[M(\chi):= \frac{1}{\sqrt{q}}\max_{1\leq t \leq q} \Big|\sum_{n \leq t} \chi(n) \Big|.\] In this paper, we investigate the distribution of $M(\chi)$, as $\chi$ ranges over primitive…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Mordell--Weil rank $2$ and $p$ be an odd prime of good ordinary reduction. For every imaginary quadratic field $K$ satisfying the Heegner hypothesis, there is (subject to the…

We propose a random matrix model for families of elliptic curve L-functions of finite conductor. A repulsion of the critical zeros of these L-functions away from the center of the critical strip was observed numerically by S. J. Miller in…

Following Katz-Sarnak, Iwaniec-Luo-Sarnak, and Rubinstein, we use the 1- and 2-level densities to study the distribution of low lying zeros for one-parameter rational families of elliptic curves over Q(t). Modulo standard conjectures, for…

We analyze the distribution of unitarized L-polynomials Lp(T) (as p varies) obtained from a hyperelliptic curve of genus g <= 3 defined over Q. In the generic case, we find experimental agreement with a predicted correspondence (based on…

We develop a theory of ``ad hoc'' Chern characters for twisted matrix factorizations associated to a scheme $X$, a line bundle ${\mathcal L}$, and a regular global section $W \in \Gamma(X, {\mathcal L})$. As an application, we establish the…
