Analysis of distribution of primes and L-functions using complex analytic techniques and special functions.
Investigate the spacing and clustering patterns of non-trivial zeros in twisted L-functions when analytic continuation extends beyond traditional critical strip boundaries. This frontier addresses why standard GUE statistics fail for certain character twists.
Develop sharper explicit bounds for prime distribution in arithmetic progressions where the modulus varies with the progression length, especially for applications to sieve theory and distribution problems. Current bounds remain suboptimal for composite moduli with special structure.
Explore statistical correlations between successive gaps in sequences generated by multiple zeta values (MZVs) and logarithmic derivatives of L-functions. This addresses fundamental questions about whether these sequences possess hidden arithmetic structure.
Classify and quantify the universality classes exhibited by zeros of partial sums of the Riemann zeta function, particularly understanding phase transitions in zero density as truncation parameters vary. Current research lacks systematic classification of these phenomena.
Establish optimal subconvexity bounds for central L-values in higher-rank Rankin-Selberg convolutions with respect to the level parameter, improving upon current Dirichlet series averaging techniques. This addresses a critical gap between known bounds and conjectured optimal rates.
Develop effective lower bounds for the distance of potential Siegel zeros from the real axis for non-real Dirichlet characters, and determine whether such exceptional zeros actually exist. Current bounds are ineffective or apply only to real characters.
Extend the theory of analytic continuation and functional equations for motivic L-functions attached to varieties over function fields, especially when conductors possess tame ramification properties. Current theory primarily handles geometric cases.
Determine precise moment asymptotics and cancellation phenomena for weighted sums combining Dirichlet characters with divisor functions using smooth cutoff weights, extending beyond current sharp-cutoff results. This addresses subtle oscillations in number-theoretic sums.
