Event description: 

- in the first lecture, we describe Linnik’s problems as well as some generalizations and we discuss the resolution of these problems via the “harmonic analysis approach”: the problems are interpreted in terms of decay properties of automorphic periods which are connected to L-functions via Waldspurger’s formula.
