Conference on "Progress and Emergent Theories in Zeta and L-Functions" (PRETZL)

Conference on "Progress and Emergent Theories in Zeta and L-Functions" (PRETZL), July 21-25, 2025

There has been an enormous amount of progress in the analytic theory of zeta and L-functions over the past decade. Our understanding in the classical theory of the value distribution of the Riemann zeta function has achieved new heights with spectacular breakthroughs on moments and extreme values (both local and global) leading to a better understanding of families of L-functions more generally. Great strides have also been made for higher degree L-functions through the remarkable achievements in subconvexity problems and higher degree trace formulae.

These techniques are still in their infancy and there is great scope for exploration and new applications. The aim of this conference is to bring together distinguished researchers working in the classical analytic, probabilistic, and automorphic theories and utilise the creative environment of MPIM and Bonn to further develop these important interactions.
