On two mean square averages of Dirichlet $L$-function

Number Theory 2021-02-18 v1

Abstract

Finding the mean square averages of the Dirichlet LL-functions over Dirichlet characters χ\chi of same parity is an active problem in number theory. Here we explicitly evaluate such averages of L(3,χ)L(3,\chi) and L(4,χ)L(4,\chi) using certain trigonometric sums and Bernoulli polynomials and express them in terms of the Euler totient function ϕ\phi and the Jordan totient function JsJ_s.
