Recently Katz and Sarnak introduced the idea of a symmetry group attached to a family of L-functions, and they gave strong evidence that the symmetry group governs many properties of the distribution of zeros of the L-functions. We consider the mean-values of the L-functions and the mollified mean-square of the L-functions and find evidence that these are also governed by the symmetry group. We use recent work of Keating and Snaith to give a complete description of these mean values. We find a…

Integral Moments of L‐Functions
We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L‐functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our…
Random matrix theory, the exceptional Lie groups and L-functions
There has recently been interest in relating properties of matrices drawn at random from the classical compact groups to statistical characteristics of number-theoretical L-functions. One example is…
The distribution of values of zeta and L-functions
This article concerns the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta-function, and related L-functions. We begin with a brief discussion of L-values at the edge of the critical strip, which give…

On the mean values of L‐functions in orthogonal and symplectic families
Hybrid Euler–Hadamard products have previously been studied for the Riemann zeta function on its critical line and for Dirichlet L‐functions, in the context of the calculation of moments and…
A weighted one-level density of families of $L$-functions
This paper is devoted to a weighted version of the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of L-functions, tilted by a power of the L-function evaluated at the central point. Assuming the Riemann…
Special Values of L-functions
In the last chapter, we studied the analytic properties of L-functions, in particular their zero distributions. If we simply regard an L-function as a complex analytic function, then its values at…
Modeling Convolutions of $L$-Functions
A number of mathematical methods have been shown to model the zeroes of $L$-functions with remarkable success, including the Ratios Conjecture and Random Matrix Theory. In order to understand the…
Autocorrelation of Random Matrix Polynomials
Abstract: We calculate the autocorrelation functions (or shifted moments) of the characteristic polynomials of matrices drawn uniformly with respect to Haar measure from the groups U(N), O(2N) and…
L-functions and the characteristic polynomials of random matrices
My purpose in these lecture notes is to review and explain the basic ideas underlying the connection between random matrix theory and the moments of L-functions. Both of these subjects are introduced…

Characteristic Polynomials of Random Matrices
Abstract: Number theorists have studied extensively the connections between the distribution of zeros of the Riemann ζ-function, and of some generalizations, with the statistics of the eigenvalues of…
More than two fifths of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function are on the critical line.
In this paper we show that at least 2/5 of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function are simple and on the critical line. Our method is a refinement of the method Levinson [11] used when he showed that…
