On the degree of the -function associated with an exponential sum
In finite Galois extensions of with pairwise coprime discriminants the integral and the prime divisors subject to the condition are equidistributed in the sense of E. Hecke.
The family of symmetric powers of an L-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from the perspectives of classical analytic number theory and random matrix theory, especially focusing on evidence for the symmetry type of the family. In particular, we investigate the values at the central point and give evidence that this family can be modeled by...
Lately, explicit upper bounds on (for primitive Dirichlet characters ) taking into account the behaviors of on a given finite set of primes have been obtained. This yields explicit upper bounds on residues of Dedekind zeta functions of abelian number fields taking into account the behavior of small primes, and it as been explained how such bounds yield improvements on lower bounds of relative class numbers of CM-fields whose maximal totally real subfields are abelian. We present here some other...
