Abstract
L-functions are one of the central objects of study in
number theory. There are many beautiful theorems and many more open
conjectures linking their values to all kinds of arithmetic problems.
I will talk about the mysteries surrounding these L-values and
describe some of the progress that has recently been made towards
understanding them.
