Zhiwei Yun and Wei Zhang introduced the notion of "super-positivity of self-dual L-functions" which specifies that all derivatives of the completed L-function (including Gamma factors and power of the conductor) at the central value s=1/2 should be non-negative. They proved that the Riemann hypothesis implies super-positivity for self dual cuspidal automorphic L-functions on GL(n).

This talk is based on recent joint work with Bingrong Huang where we prove, for the first time, that there are infinitely many L-functions associated to modular forms for SL(2,ℤ) each of which has the super-positivity property.
