Value-Distribution of L-Functions (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

These notes present recent results in the value-distribution theory of L-functions with emphasis on the phenomenon of universality. Universality has a strong impact on the zero-distribution: Riemann's hypothesis is true only if the Riemann zeta-function can approximate itself uniformly. The text proves universality for polynomial Euler products. The authors' approach follows mainly Bagchi's probabilistic method. Discussion touches on related topics: almost periodicity, density estimates, Nevanlinna theory, and functional independence.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book presents recent results in the value-distribution theory of L-functions with emphasis on the phenomenon of universality. ... In this book the author proves universality for polynomial Euler products. ... is written in a narrative and reader friendly language. The author gives many examples, presents main hypotheses and problems in the recent theory of universality. There is a large bibliography of 372 entries. The book is recommended for everybody wanting to see the current panorama of the universality theory." (Ramunas Garunkstis, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1130 (8), 2008)

"The book consists of 13 chapters with an appendix describing the history of universality. ... In summary, this is a valuable set of lecture notes ideally suited for the researcher in analytic number theory." (M. Ram Murty, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 m)
