The ``Riemann hypothesis is true for period polynomials of almost all newforms

Abstract: The period polynomial

r_{f} (z)

for a weight

k g e q 3

newform

f i n S_{k} (G a m m a_{0} (N), c h i)

is the generating function for special values of

L (s, f)

. The functional equation for

L (s, f)

induces a functional equation on

r_{f} (z)

. Jin, Ma, Ono, and Soundararajan proved that for all newforms

f

of even weight

k g e 4

and trivial nebetypus, the "Riemann Hypothesis" holds for

r_{f} (z)

: that is, all roots of

r_{f} (z)

lie on the circle of symmetry

| z | = 1 / s q r t N

. We generalize their methods to prove that this phenomenon holds for all but possibly finitely many newforms

f

of weight

k g e 3

with any nebentypus. We also show that the roots of

r_{f} (z)

are equidistributed if

N

or

k

is sufficiently large.
