Abstract: We study low-lying zeroes of $L$-functions and their $n$-level density, which relies on a smooth test function $phi$ whose Fourier transform $widehatphi$ has compact support. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we compute the $n^{e}xtth$ centered moments of the $1$-level density of low-lying zeroes of $L$-functions associated with weight $k$, prime level $N$ cuspidal newforms as $Noinfty$, where $msupp(widehatphi)subsetleft(-2/n,2/night)$. The Katz-Sarnak density conjecture predicts that the $n$-level density of certain families of $L$-functions is the same as the distribution of eigenvalues of corresponding families of orthogonal random matrices. We prove that the Katz-Sarnak density conjecture holds for the $n^{e}xtth$ centered moments of the 1-level density for test functions with $widehatphi$ supported in $left(-2/n,2/night)$, for families of cuspidal newforms split by the sign of their functional equations. Our work provides better bounds on the percent of forms vanishing to a certain order at the central point. Previous work handled the 1-level for support up to 2 and the $n$-level up to $min(2/n,1/(n-1))$; we are able to remove the second restriction on the support and extend the result to what one would expect, based on the 1-level, by finding a tractable vantage to evaluate the combinatorial zoo of terms which emerge.
