We are interested in \"$L$-data\", an axiomatic framework for $L$-functions introduced by Andrew Booker in 2013. Associated to each $L$-datum, one has a real number invariant known as the degree. Conjecturally the degree $d$ is an integer. Moreover, if $d\\in\\mathbb{N}$ then one expects that the $L$-datum is that of a $GL_n(\\mathbb{A}_F)$-automorphic representation, for some number field $F$. In fact, if $F=\\mathbb{Q}$, then $n=d$. This statement was shown to be true for $0\\leq d<5/3$ by Booker in his pioneering paper, and in these notes we consider an extension of his methods to $0\\leq d<2$. This is simultaneously a generalisation of Booker's result and the results and techniques of Kaczorowski--Perelli in the Selberg class (the best known to date). Furthermore, we consider applications to zeros of automorphic $L$-functions. In these notes we review Booker's results and announce new ones to appear elsewhere shortly.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-19T17:36:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M36", "11F66" ], "keywords": [ "low degree l-data", "real number invariant", "review bookers results", "analytic number theory", "kyoto university" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160105009O" } } }
