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

About 15 years old · traced to

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+sin⁡2πx2πx)dx,W(Sp)(x) dx=(1−sin⁡2πx2πx)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 f∈Hkf\in H_k, let Λ(s,f)\Lambda(s,f) be its completed LL-function, and for d∈s(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.

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.
