Iwaniec–Luo–Sarnak Zero Density Conjecture for modular and quadratic-character families

Let ϕ(x)\phi(x) be a Schwartz-class function on R\mathbb{R} whose Fourier transform has compact support. Define

W(SOeven)(x)dx=(1+sin2πx2πx)dx,W(Sp)(x)dx=(1sin2πx2πx)dx.W(SO_{\operatorname{even}})(x)\,dx=\left(1+\frac{\sin 2\pi x}{2\pi x}\right)dx,\qquad W(Sp)(x)\,dx=\left(1-\frac{\sin 2\pi x}{2\pi x}\right)dx.

For fHkf\in H_k, let Λ(s,f)\Lambda(s,f) be its completed LL-function, and for ds(D)d\in s(D) let Λ(s,χ8d)\Lambda(s,\chi_{8d}) be the completed quadratic-character LL-function. Write their non-trivial zeros as ρ=12+iγ\rho=\frac12+i\gamma, allowing γ\gamma to be complex if the Riemann Hypothesis fails. Iwaniec–Luo–Sarnak's Zero Density Conjecture.

and

limD1s(D)ds(D)Λ(ρ,χ8d)=0ρ=12+iγϕ(γlogD2π)=ϕ(x)W(Sp)(x)dx.\lim_{D\to\infty}\frac{1}{|s(D)|}\sum_{d\in s(D)}\sum_{\substack{\Lambda(\rho,\chi_{8d})=0\rho=\frac12+i\gamma}}\phi\left(\frac{\gamma\log D}{2\pi}\right)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\phi(x)W(Sp)(x)\,dx.

These formulas assert the predicted orthogonal and symplectic one-level densities for the two families. The source gives no resolution status; such density results are generally known only under restricted support or additional hypotheses.
