Non-Vanishing of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point with restricted root number

Number Theory 2026-03-24 v1

Abstract

We prove asymptotics for mollified first and second moments of subfamilies of Dirichlet LL-functions given by shrinking angular restrictions on the root number. Using these moments, we prove that for even primitive characters with prime conductor qq, a positive proportion of the central values L(1/2,χ)L(1/2,\chi) do not vanish as qq\to\infty.
