Abstract or Additional Information

Though the study pertaining the zeros of the Riemann zeta functions goes back to the seminal paper of Riemann from 1850’s, the known results are very far from the expected truth. In theory, most of the analogous statements should be true for its cousins, generally known as L-functions, but not all is known about these functions and thus it remains an active area of research. In this talk, we focus on one such type of functions which arise from Maass forms. This talk is based on joint work with Rahul Kumar.
