Title:

L-functions and Physics

Abstract:

Some fundamental aspects of number theory is a playground of quantum mechanics. I will present certain connections between L-functions and quantum mechanics, and some questions arising naturally.

About the speaker:

I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum field theory and string theory. I have been educated in South Korea and United States. I worked as postdoctoral fellow and faculty member in US and also in South Korea.

Recently I joined BIMSA in quantum field theory and string theory group. My research interests are also on cosmology, black holes, particle phenomenology, geometry, representation theory, vertex operator algebras, categorical symmetries, and number theory.

Bounds for standard L-functions
AbstractWe consider the standard L-function attached to a cuspidal automorphic representation of a general linear group. We present a proof of a subconvex bound in the t-aspect. More generally, we address the spectral aspect in the case of uniform parameter growth. These results are the subject of the third paper linked below, building on the first two.SpeakerPaul Nelson works in Analytic Numbe...

Asai L-functions and arithmetic fundamental lemmas
AbstractAsai L-functions for GLn are related to the arithmetic of Asai motives. The twisted Gan—Gross—Prasad conjecture opens a way of studying (a twist of) central Asai L-values via descents and period integrals. I will consider an arithmetic analog of the conjecture on central derivatives using unitary Shimura varieties. I will formulate and prove a twisted arithmetic fundamental lemma.Spea...
