Using a completely different approach, we obtain the first effective version of Voronin's Theorem, by showing that in the rate of convergence one can save a small power of the logarithm of T. Our method is flexible, and can be generalized to other L-functions in the t-aspect, as well as to families of L-functions in the conductor aspect.","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/CMH/448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70841795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a Lagrangian torus these invariants are functions on the first cohomology of the torus. The first invariant is of topological nature and is related to the study of Lagrangian isotopies with a given Lagrangian flux. More specifically, it measures the length of straight paths in the first cohomology that can be realized as the Lagrangian flux of a Lagrangian isotopy. The second invariant is of analytical nature and comes from symplectic function theory. It is defined for Lagrangian submanifolds admitting fibrations over a circle and has a dynamical interpretation. We partially compute these invariants for certain Lagrangian tori.","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2016-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/CMH/451","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70841763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a corollary, we obtain sufficient conditions for $G$ to satisfy Shalom's property $H_{mathrm{FD}}$. Another application is a convergence to a constant in probability of $mu^{*n}(e) -mu^{*n}(g)$, $ngg m$, normalized by its average with respect to $mu^{*m}$, for any finitely generated amenable group without infinite virtually Abelian quotients.
