First moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions with secondary terms

Number Theory 2025-09-09 v2

Abstract

We study the first moment of primitive quadratic Dirichlet LL-functions. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we obtain an asymptotic formula at the central point with error O(X1/4+ϵ)O(X^{1/4+\epsilon}), and identify lower-order terms of size X1/3logXX^{1/3}\log X.
