Description

Mathematics Colloquium Talk 2.

Speaker: Ameya Pitale.

Affiliation: University of Oklahoma.

Date and Time: Wednesday 7 August, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

Venue: Ramanujan Hall, Department of Mathematics.

Title: Special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss an important object in number
theory : L-functions. A well-known example is the Riemann zeta function.
We will focus on the arithmetic properties of the special values of
L-functions. These have very interesting applications to congruences
between modular forms. We will give a gentle introduction to these
concepts highlighting several examples and important results in the
literature. We will present recent joint research with Abhishek Saha and
Ralf Schmidt regarding special L-values and congruences of Siegel modular
forms.
