Non-vanishing of Dirichlet L-functions at the central point

Number Theory 2012-11-06 v2

Abstract

Let χ\chi be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo qq and L(s,χ)L(s,\chi) be the Dirichlet L-function associated to χ\chi. Using a new two-piece mollifier we show that L(12,χ)0L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)\ne0 for at least 34% of the characters in the family.
