Distribution of Gaussian primes and zeros of L-functions

Abstract:

In this talk, we are interested in the following question: among primes that can be written as a sum of two squares $p = a^2 + 4b^2$ with $a > 0$, how is the congruence class of a distributed? This will lead us to study the distribution of values of Hecke characters from the point of view of Chebyshev’s bias, as well as the distribution of zeros of the associated L-functions and in particular their vanishing at $1/2$.
