Scholar profile summary
Scholar-generated biography

Kannan Soundararajan is a Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University, specializing in Number Theory. His research focuses on the distribution of values of L-functions, moments of the Riemann zeta function, and the behavior of Dirichlet L-functions at critical points. He has explored nonvanishing properties of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions, extreme values of zeta and L-functions, and the distribution of primes in short intervals. His work also includes quantum unique ergodicity for SL₂(ℤ)\ℍ and the study of modular signs. Soundararajan's contributions span analytic number theory, with an emphasis on deep connections between algebraic and analytic methods in number theory.
