Abstract

This work consists of two distinct problems. In the first one, we use a variation of the Circle Method, along with ideas coming from the Saddle Point Method, to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions of a number n into integers which are sums of two squares. In the second problem, we discuss some new results for large and small gaps between the ordinates of zeros of high degree zeta and L-functions, including Dedekind zeta-functions associated with Galois extensions of Q and principal automorphic L-functions.
