Abstract: De Bruijn and Newman introduced a deformation of the Riemann zeta function $zeta(s)$, and found a real constant $Lambda$ which encodes the movement of the zeros of $zeta(s)$ under the deformation. The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is equivalent to $Lambdale0$. Newman made the conjecture that $Lambdage0$ along with the remark that "the new conjecture is a quantitative version of the dictum that the Riemann hypothesis, if true, is only barely so." Newman's conjecture is still unsolved, and previous work could only handle the Riemann zeta function and quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions, obtaining lower bounds very close to zero (for example, for $zeta(s)$ the bound is at least $-1.14541cdot10^{-11}$, and for quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions it is at least $-1.17cdot10^{-7}$). We generalize the techniques to apply to automorphic $L$-functions as well as function field $L$-functions. We further determine the limit of these techniques by studying linear combinations of $L$-functions, proving that these methods are insufficient. We explicitly determine the Newman constants in various function field settings, which has strong implications for Newman's quantitative version of RH. In particular, let $$ be a square-free polynomial of degree 3. Let $D_p$ be the polynomial in $$ obtained by reducing $mathcalD$ modulo $p$. Then the Newman constant $Lambd{a}_{D_p}$ equals $logfrac|a_p(mathcalD)|2sqrtp$; by Sato--Tate (if the curve is non-CM) there exists a sequence of primes such that $li{m}_{noinfty}Lambd{a}_{D_{p_n}}=0$. We end by discussing connections with random matrix theory.
