Venue:
INI Seminar Room 1
Session Title:
Matrix Ensembles and L-Functions
Abstract:
This talk will describe the heuristic method of calculating averages of ratios of zeta and L-functions used by Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer to generalize conjectures of Farmer. It will include applications of these ratio formulae and a new method devised with Conrey and Forrester will be discussed for calculating the analogous random matrix quantities.
