​"Holomorphy of L-functions and its applications"

The analytic properties of L-functions have been one of the central topics in number theory as they have a deep connection with the distribution of primes. For example, the Riemann zeta function led to a proof of the celebrated prime number theorem. In general, for any number field, there are primes and L-functions of similar nature. In this talk, we shall discuss the holomorphy of such L-functions and its applications to the distributions of the associated primes.
