Non-Vanishing of L-Functions and Applications

by Maruti Ram Murty, Vijaya Kumar Murty

1997 · Springer Science & Business Media

Discussion of results on the nonvanishing of L-functions is largely based on the various mathematicians' original papers. The authors place special emphasis on L-functions of Dirichlet and Artin, and those that are attached to modular forms. They address theorems on nonvanishing that have immediate applications to general questions concerning equidistribution. They do not consider the Galois theoretic and the automorphic method.

Harmonic Analysis and Number Theory

by Carl Herz, Stephen William Drury, Maruti Ram Murty

1997 · American Mathematical Soc.

This volume presents the proceedings of a conference on Harmonic Analysis and Number Theory held at McGill University (Montreal) in April 1996. The papers are dedicated to the memory of Carl Herz, who had deep interests in both harmonic analysis and number theory. These two disciplines have a symbiotic relationship that is reflected in the papers in this book.

Problems in Analytic Number Theory

by Maruti Ram Murty

2001 · Springer Science & Business Media

This book gives a problem-solving approach to the difficult subject of analytic number theory. It is primarily aimed at graduate and senior undergraduate students. The goal is to give a rapid introduction of how analytic methods are used to study the distribution of prime numbers. The book also includes an introduction to p-adic analytic methods. It is ideal for a first course in analytic number theory.
