We will give the definition of the degree 0 string homology of an oriented knot K in a 3-manifold and prove it is isomorphic to the cord algebra of K. Time permitting, we will sketch the relationship between string homology and the knot group, and will show that string homology detects the…

We consider the standard L-function attached to a cuspidal automorphic representation of a general linear group.  We present a proof of a subconvex bound in the t-aspect.  More generally, we address the spectral aspect in the case of uniform parameter growth.

These results are the…
