 nter24/1/">Explicit bounds for $\\zeta$ and a new zero-free region</a>\nby
  Chiara Bellotti (University of New South Wales\, Canberra) as part of CRG
  Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk we prove that $|\\zeta(\\sigm
 a+it)|\\le 70.7 |t|^{4.438(1-\\sigma)^{3/2}}\\log^{2/3}|t|$ for $1/2\\le\\
 sigma\\le 1$ and $|t|\\ge 3$\, combining new explicit bounds for the Vinog
 radov integral with exponential sums estimates. As a consequence\, we impr
 ove the explicit zero-free region for $\\zeta(s)$\, showing that $\\zeta(\
 \sigma+it)$ has no zeros in the region $\\sigma \\geq 1-1 /\\left(53.989(\
 \log |t|)^{2 / 3}(\\log \\log |t|)^{1 / 3}\\right)$ for $|t| \\geq 3$.\n

 (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) as part of CRG Weekly Sem
 inars\n\n\nAbstract\nWe discuss the role of long Dirichlet polynomials in 
 number theory. We first survey some applications of mean values of long Di
 richlet polynomials over primes in the theory of the Riemann zeta function
  which includes central limit theorems and pair correlation of zeros. We t
 hen give some examples showing how\, on assuming the Riemann Hypothesis\, 
 one can compute asymptotics for such mean values without using the Hardy-L
 ittlewood conjectures for additive correlations of the von-Mangoldt functi
 ons.\n

 y Emily Quesada-Herrera (Graz University of Technology) as part of CRG Wee
 kly Seminars\n\n\nAbstract\nWe will explore how a Fourier optimization fra
 mework may be used to study two classical problems in number theory involv
 ing Dirichlet characters: The problem of estimating the least character no
 n-residue\; and the problem of estimating the least prime in an arithmetic
  progression. In particular\, we show how this Fourier framework leads to 
 subtle\, but conceptually interesting\, improvements on the best current a
 symptotic bounds under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis\, given by Lamzo
 uri\, Li\, and Soundararajan. Based on joint work with Emanuel Carneiro\, 
 Micah Milinovich\, and Antonio Ramos.\n

 nby Vivian Kuperberg (ETH Zurich) as part of CRG Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbst
 ract\nIn 2000\, Shiu proved that there are infinitely many primes whose la
 st digit is 1 such that the next prime also ends in a 1. However\, it is a
 n open problem to show that there are infinitely many primes ending in 1 s
 uch that the next prime ends in 3. In this talk\, we'll instead consider t
 he sequence of sums of two squares in increasing order. In particular\, we
 'll show that there are infinitely many sums of two squares ending in 1 su
 ch that the next sum of two squares ends in 3. We'll show further that all
  patterns of length 3 occur infinitely often: for any modulus q\, every se
 quence (a mod q\, b mod q\, c mod q) appears infinitely often among consec
 utive sums of two squares. We'll discuss some of the proof techniques\, an
 d explain why they fail for primes. Joint work with Noam Kimmel.\n

 astha Institute of Information Technology\, Delhi) as part of CRG Weekly S
 eminars\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Farey sequence $\\mathcal{F}_Q$ of order $Q$ is
  an ascending sequence of fractions $a/b$ in the unit interval $(0\,1]$ su
 ch that $(a\,b)=1$ and $0< a \\leq b \\leq Q $. The study of the Farey fra
 ctions is of major interest because of their role in problems related to t
 he Diophantine approximation. Also\, there is a connection between the dis
 tribution of Farey fractions and the Riemann hypothesis\, which motivates 
 their study. In this talk\, we will discuss the distribution of Farey frac
 tions with some divisibility constraints on denominators by studying their
  pair correlation measure. This is based on the joint work with Sneha Chau
 bey.\n

 n\n\nAbstract\nI will discuss the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$
 -functions where we prove an asymptotic formula with four main terms uncon
 ditionally. Previously the asymptotic formula was established with the lea
 ding main term under generalized Riemann hypothesis. This work is based on
  Li's recent work on the second moment of quadratic twists of modular $L$-
 functions. It is joint work with Joshua Stucky.\n

 g Knapp (University of Calgary) as part of CRG Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbstra
 ct\nIn 1909\, Thue proved that when $F(x\,y)$ is an irreducible\, homogene
 ous\, polynomial with integer coefficients and degree at least $3$\, the i
 nequality $|F(x\,y)| \\leq h$ has finitely many integer-pair solutions for
  any positive $h$.  Because of this result\, the inequality $| F(x\,y) | \
 \leq h$  is known as Thue’s Inequality.  Much work has been done to find
  sharp bounds on the size and number of integer-pair solutions to Thue’s
  Inequality\, with Mueller and Schmidt initiating the modern approach to t
 his problem in the 1980s.  In this talk\, I will describe different techni
 ques used by Akhtari and Bengoechea\; Baker\; Mueller and Schmidt\; Saradh
 a and Sharma\; and Thomas to make progress on this general problem.  After
  that\, I will discuss some improvements that can be made to a counting te
 chnique used in association with “the gap principle” and how those imp
 rovements lead to better bounds on the number of solutions to Thue’s Ine
 quality.\n

 nter24/9/">Primes in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli</a>\nby Juli
 a Stadlmann (University of Oxford) as part of CRG Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbs
 tract\nThe twin prime conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many pr
 imes p for which p+2 is also prime. This conjecture appears far out of rea
 ch of current mathematical techniques. However\, in 2013 Zhang achieved a 
 breakthrough\, showing that there exists some positive integer h for which
  p and p+h are both prime infinitely often. Equidistribution estimates for
  primes in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli were a key ingredient 
 of his work. In this talk\, I will sketch what role these estimates play i
 n proofs of bounded gaps between primes. I will also show how a refinement
  of the q-van der Corput method can be used to improve on equidistribution
  estimates of the Polymath project for primes in APs to smooth moduli.\n

 nces</a>\nby (Talk cancelled) Sneha Chaubey (Indraprastha Institute of Inf
 ormation Technology\, Delhi) as part of CRG Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbstract\
 nThe topic on the distribution of sequences saw its light with the seminal
  paper of Weyl. While the classical notion of equidistribution modulo one 
 addresses the “global” behaviour of the fractional parts of a sequence
 \, quantities such as $k$-point correlations and nearest neighbour gap dis
 tributions are useful in investigating the sequence on finer scales. In th
 is talk\, we discuss these fine-scale statistics for real-valued arithmeti
 c sequences\, and show that the limiting distribution of the nearest neigh
 bour gaps of real-valued lacunary sequences is Poissonian. We also prove t
 he Poissonian behavior of the $2$-point correlation function for certain c
 lasses of real-valued vector sequences. This is achieved by extrapolating 
 conditions on the number of solutions of Diophantine inequalities using tw
 isted moments of the Riemann zeta function.\n

 ne\, Nancy) as part of CRG Weekly Seminars\n\n\nAbstract\nFix $N\\geq 1$ a
 nd let $L_1$\, $L_2$\, ...\, $L_N$ be Dirichlet $L$-functions with distinc
 t\, primitive and even Dirichlet characters. We assume that these function
 s satisfy the same functional equation. Let\n\\[F(s):=\\sum_{j=1}^N c_jL_j
 (s)\\]\nbe a linear combination of these functions ($c_j\\in\\mathbb{R}^*$
  are distinct).$F$ is known to have two kinds of zeros: trivial ones\, and
  non-trivial zeros which are confined in a vertical strip. We denote the n
 umber of non-trivial zeros $\\rho$ with $\\Im(\\rho)\\leq T$ by $N(T)$\, a
 nd we let $N_0(T)$ be the number of these zeros that are on the critical l
 ine.At the end of the 90s\, Selberg proved that this linear combination ha
 d a positive proportion of zeros on the critical line\, by showing that\n\
 \[\\kappa_F:=\\liminf_T\\frac{N_0(2T)-N_0(T)}{N(2T)-N(T)}\\geq \\frac c{N^
 2}\\]\nfor some $c>0$.Our goal is to provide an explicit value for $c$\, a
 nd also to improve the lower bound above by showing that\n\\[\\kappa_F\\ge
 q \\frac{2.16\\times 10^{-6}}{N\\log N}\,\\]\nfor any large enough $N$.\n

 n\n\nAbstract\nThe Weierstrass $\\wp$ function plays a great role in the c
 lassic theory of complex elliptic curves. A related function\, the Weierst
 rass zeta-function\, is used by Guerzhoy to construct preimages under the 
 $\\xi$-operator of newforms of weight 2\, corresponding to elliptic curves
 . In this talk\, I will discuss a generalization of the Weierstrass zeta-f
 unction and an application to harmonic Maass forms. More precisely\, I wil
 l describe a construction of a preimage of the $\\xi$-operator of a newfor
 m of weight k for k>2. This is based on joint work with C. Alfes-Neumann\,
  J. Funke and M. Mertens.\n
