Title

:

L-functions
Abstract :

I will try to give a gentle introduction to the theory of L-functions starting with the Riemann zeta function. I will explain the fascinating arithmetic and analytic significance of these L-functions. If time permits, I will speak of my current work with Ralf Schmidt on L-functions for
GSp(4)xGL(2).
