Subconvexity bounds for L-functions October 16 to October 20, 2006 AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA Organizers: William Duke, Philippe Michel, Andre Reznikov, and Akshay Venkatesh Workshop topics: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to subconvexity bounds for L-functions. In recent years, there has been substantial progress towards the subconvexity problem for GL(2) L-functions, beginning with the work of Duke, Friedlander, and Iwaniec; more recently, ideas from representation theory and dynamics have been brought to bear on the problem. Subconvexity bounds for L-functions in higher rank (and, more generally, bounds for periods) remain largely elusive. The aim of the workshop is to consolidate the existing approaches and initiate analysis of the higher rank subconvexity problem. Application deadline: July 16, 2006 For more information: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/subconvexity.html
