Title:
L-Functions and Unipotent Orbits

Speaker:
Solomon Friedberg

Abstract:
L-functions are critical objects in theory of automorphic forms -- they are key to describing the Langlands conjectures and of number-theoretic significance. However, L-functions have not appeared in physics. Instead, in physics the Fourier coefficients of certain automorphic representations attached to unipotent orbits play an important role. In this talk I explain a connection between the theory of L-functions and the unipotent orbits attached to automorphic representations, namely the dimension equation.
