Period polynomials have long been fruitful tools for the study of values of $L$-functions in the context of major outstanding conjectures. In this paper, we survey some facets of this study from the perspective of Eichler cohomology. We discuss ways to incorporate non-cuspidal modular forms and values of derivatives of $L$-functions into the same framework. We further review investigations of the location of zeros of the period polynomial as well as of its analogue for $L$-derivatives.

In recent years, a number of papers have been devoted to the study of roots of period polynomials of modular forms. Here, we study cohomological analogues of the Eichler-Shimura period polynomials corresponding to higher $L$-derivatives. We state general conjectures about the locations of the roots of the full and odd parts of the polynomials, in analogy with the existing literature on period polynomials, and we also give numerical evidence that similar results hold for our higher derivative period polynomials in the case of cusp forms. We prove a special case of this conjecture in the case of Eisenstein series.
In this article we study the limiting empirical measure of zeros of higher derivatives for sequences of random polynomials. We show that these measures agree with the limiting empirical measure of zeros of corresponding random polynomials. Various models of random polynomials are considered by introducing randomness through multiplying a factor with a random zero or removing a zero at random for a given sequence of deterministic polynomials. We also obtain similar results for random polynomials whose zeros are given by i.i.d. random variables. As an application, we show that these phenomenon appear for random polynomials whose zeros are given by the 2D Coulomb gas density.
A conjecture of Le says that the Deligne polytope $Delta_d$ is generically ordinary if $pequiv 1 (!!bmod D(Delta_d))$, where $D(Delta_d)$ is a combinatorial constant determined by $Delta_d$. In this paper a counterexample is given to show that the conjecture is not true in general.
We analyze the distribution of unitarized L-polynomials Lp(T) (as p varies) obtained from a hyperelliptic curve of genus g <= 3 defined over Q. In the generic case, we find experimental agreement with a predicted correspondence (based on the Katz-Sarnak random matrix model) between the distributions of Lp(T) and of characteristic polynomials of random matrices in the compact Lie group USp(2g). We then formulate an analogue of the Sato-Tate conjecture for curves of genus 2, in which the generic distribution is augmented by 22 exceptional distributions, each corresponding to a compact subgroup of USp(4). In every case, we exhibit a curve closely matching the proposed distribution, and can find no curves unaccounted for by our classification.
The Collatz Conjecture (also known as the 3x+1 Problem) proposes that the following algorithm will, after a certain number of iterations, always yield the number 1: given a natural number, multiply by three and add one if the number is odd, halve the resulting number, then repeat. In this article, for each $N$ for which the Collatz Conjecture holds we define the $N^{th}$ Collatz polynomial to be the monic polynomial with constant term $N$ and $k^{th}$ term (for $k > 1$) the $k^{th}$ iterate of $N$ under the Collatz function. In particular, we bound the moduli of the roots of these polynomials, prove theorems on when they have rational integer roots, and suggest further applications and avenues of research.
