A TQFT POV on L-functions
David Ben-Zvi (University of Texas, Austin)
Abstract: I'll discuss a perspective on L-functions modeled on the theory of boundary conditions in extended TQFT, emerging from my upcoming work with Yiannis Sakellaridis and Akshay Venkatesh. In particular, I'll explain the parallel between L-functions and characters of higher categorical representations, and the role of geometric and deformation quantization of shifted symplectic varieties in the theory.
