Relating the multiplicative Fourier transform and the derived characteristic polynomial

(Tuesday, Sept 5:) For a number field $Fˣ$ and a number ring $Oˣ$ it is common to define: $Z(f,χ) = ʃ_{Fˣ} f(x) χ(x) dˣ x$ $g(ω,ψ) = ʃ_{Oˣ} ω(x) ψ(x) dˣ x$ where $dˣx$ is the multiplicative Haar ...

Computing (on a computer) the first few (non-trivial) zeros of the zeta function of a number field.

Let $M$ be the splitting field of x^8 + 3*x^7 + 13*x^6 + 17*x^5 + 45*x^4 + 37*x^3 + 11*x^2 + 112*x + 108 over the rationals. If I've understood some tables ...

Functional equation Dedekind zeta function

I'd like to know to what point is it possible to generalize this method for obtaining the functional equation for the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_K(s)$ of a number field ? Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be ...

The Guinand-Weil explicit formula for Hecke characters

The Guinand-Weil formula for the Riemann zeta function is \begin{aligned}&\Phi (1)+\Phi (0)-\sum _{\rho }\Phi (\rho )\\={}&\sum _{p,m}{\frac {\log(p)}{p^{m/2}}}{\Big (}F(\log(p^{m}))+F(-\log(p^...

How do functional equations for zeta functions arise from the structure of a homology group?

I have read in various disparate sources that certain zeta functions satisfy functional equations as a consequence of some structure on some homology group. Here is an example of a quote in this ...

What are zeta functions good for?

I know a couple of answers to the above question: They can be used for point counting over finite fields/estimating the distribution of primes in characteristic 0. There are various conjectures/...

Weil Conjectures Analog for Multivariate Zeta Functions

We know that the Riemann zeta function can be generalized to multivariate zeta functions. Is there a multivariate analog of the Weil conjectures?
