Murmurations of Hecke $L$-Functions of Imaginary Quadratic Fields

Abstract: We calculate the murmuration density for the family of Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic fields associated to non-trivial characters. This density exhibits a universality property like Zubrilina's density for the murmurations of holomorphic modular forms. We show all murmuration functions obtained by averaging over the family with a compactly supported smooth weight function has asymptotics compatible with the 1-level density conjecture of Katz and Sarnak. The novelty of the murmurations of this family of $L$-functions is its pronounced almost periodic feature, which allows one to describe this murmuration without averaging over primes, and which is non-existent or previously unnoticed for other families.
