Title:
Non-vanishing of twists of GL(4) L-functions
Abstract: I will discuss recent
work with Maksym Radziwill in which we show that for
any fixed tempered cuspidal representation $\pi$ of
GL(4;Q), there exist infinitely many primitive
characters $\chi$ such that the twisted L-function
$L(s,\pi\times\chi)$ is non-vanishing at the central
point s=1/2. Some applications will be discussed as
well.
