Number Theory

Seminar Talk on Ring-LWE, Ideal Lattices and Class Numbers

We study the growth of class numbers and discuss different parameter choices for Ring Learning with Errors (RWLE) that can influence the hardness of the underlying approximate shortest vector problem.

Preprint on multiplicative non-Hecke twists of motivic L-functions and Euler products

We study the twisting of motivic L-functions by a family of multiplicative characters. The resulting twisted L-function has interesting analytic properties and can be used to define convergent p-adic Dirichlet series and Euler products.

Preprint on special values of p-adic L-functions and Iwasawa λ-invariants of Dirichlet characters

We study the Iwasawa λ-invariant of Dirichlet characters χ for odd primes p and derive easily computable novel criteria to distinguish between the cases λ=0, λ=1, λ=2 and λ≥3.

Paper on Iwasawa lambda-invariants for abelian number fields

In a joint paper with Daniel Delbourgo, we study we study the Iwasawa lambda-invariants of Dirichlet characters of any order and generalize a prediction of Ellenberg, Jain and Venkatesh.

Paper on Dirichlet Series Expansions of p-adic L-Functions

In a joint paper with Lawrence C. Washington, we derive a Dirichlet series expansion of p-adic L-functions. The paper is published in Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hambg.

Preprint on Measures and p-adic L-Functions

We define an alternating measure on the p-adic integers and derive a Dirichlet expansion of p-adic L-functions.
