Speaker: Ahmet Güloglu, Bilkent Univ., Ankara
Title: Non-vanishing of L-functions at the central point
Abstract: I will talk about two methods used to derive non-vanishing results for a family of L-functions; the one-level density and the moments of L-functions. I will mention what these methods are and how they are used to get non-vanishing.
Date: January 29, 2025
Time: 17:30-19:00 (Tehran local time)


Speaker: Ratko Darda, Sabancı Üniversity
Title: Malle conjecture for finite group schemes
Abstract:The Inverse Galois Problem asks whether every finite group G is the Galois group of a Galois extension of the field of rational numbers Q. The Malle conjecture offers a quantitative perspective: it predicts the number of Galois extensions of Q (or any other number field), with G as the Galois group, of bounded "size" (such as the discriminant). In this talk, we explore a generalization of the conjecture to finite étale group schemes. We show how the generalization helps explain inconsistencies of the Malle conjecture found by Klüners. Additionally, we discuss the case of the conjecture when G is a commutative finite étale group scheme, which generalizes the classical work of Wright on the number of abelian extensions of bounded discriminant. The talk is based on a joint work with Takehiko Yasuda.
