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…
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…

We explore the effect of zeros at the central point on nearby zeros of elliptic curve L-functions, especially for one-parameter families of rank r over Q. By the Birch and Swinnerton Dyer Conjecture and Silverman's Specialization Theorem,…
While Random Matrix Theory has successfully modeled many quantities of families of L-functions, it frequently cannot see the family's arithmetic. In some situations this requires an extended theory that inserts arithmetic factors depending…

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…
The density conjecture of Katz and Sarnak predicts that, for natural families of L-functions, the distribution of zeros lying near the real axis is governed by a group of symmetry. In the case of the universal family of automorphic forms of…
The Katz-Sarnak philosophy predicts that statistics of zeros of families of L-functions are strikingly universal. However, subtle arithmetical differences between families of the same symmetry type can be detected by calculating lower-order…
We study the low-lying zeros of various interesting families of elliptic curve L-functions. One application is an upper bound on the average analytic rank of the family of all elliptic curves. The upper bound obtained is less than two,…
