Title: The Subconvexity Problem
Abstract: The subconvexity problem is one of central interest to many number theorists. In this talk, I will introduce the subconvexity problem on the Riemann zeta function and the current state of knowledge on the problem. If time permits, I will briefly introduce the subconvexity problem on other zeta and L functions.
