Exact double averages of twisted L-values

Number Theory 2025-04-23 v2

Abstract

Consider central LL-values of even weight elliptic or Hilbert modular forms ff twisted by ideal class characters χ\chi of an imaginary quadratic extension KK. Fixing χ\chi, and assuming KK is inert at each prime dividing the level, one knows simple exact formulas for averages over newforms ff of squarefree levels satisfying a parity condition on the number of prime factors. These averages stabilize when the level is large with respect to KK (the "stable range"). In weight 2, we obtain exact formulas for a simultaneous average over both ff and χ\chi. We allow for non-squarefree levels with any number of prime factors, and ramification or splitting of KK above the level. Under elementary conditions on the level, these double averages are "stable" in all ranges. Two consequences are generalizations of the aforementioned stable (single) averages and effective results on nonvanishing of central LL-values.
