Let $m\ge 1$ be a rational integer. We give an explicit formula for the mean value $$\frac{2}{\phi(f)}\sum_{\chi (-1)=(-1)^m}\vert L(m,\chi )\vert^2,$$ where $\chi$ ranges over the $\phi (f)/2$ Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ with the…

We investigate the distribution of class numbers in the family of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ corresponding to fundamental discriminants of the form $d=4m^2+1$, which we refer to as Chowla's family. Our results show a…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined modulo $q$, where $q\ge 3$. We prove, under the assumption of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, the validity of…

Finding the mean square averages of the Dirichlet $L$-functions over Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of same parity is an active problem in number theory. Here we explicitly evaluate such averages of $L(3,\chi)$ and $L(4,\chi)$ using certain…

For a given odd integer $n>1$, we provide some families of imaginary quadratic number fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-t^n})$ whose ideal class group has a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.

A "simple trace formula" is used to derive an asymptotic result for class numbers of complex cubic orders.

An explicit formula for the quadratic mean value at $s=1$ of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with the odd Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ is known. Here we present a situation where we could prove an explicit formula for the…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, $q$ an odd prime power such that $q \not\equiv 0 \pmod \ell$, and $m$ the order of $q$ in $\F_\ell^\times$. We propose an explicit $L$-polynomial of hyperelliptic function field $K:=\F_q(T,…

In this note we investigate the problem of determining elements of the Selberg class from their Dirichlet series coefficients at the primes. We show that this is possible when the degree is one, but in general need an additional weak…

We introduce a generalisation of norm relations in the group algebra Q[G], where G is a finite group. We give some properties of these relations, and use them to obtain relations between the S-unit groups of different subfields of the same…

A description of the properties of \L with complex characters is given. By using these, together with the more familiar \L with real characters, it is shown how certain two dimensional lattice sums, which previously could not be put into…

The class number divisibility problem for number fields is one of the classical problems in algebraic number theory, which originated from Gauss' class number conjectures. The relation between the points on an elliptic curve and class…

The goal is to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of quadratic extensions with bounded discriminant of a some quadratic number field with odd class number. This extends an already known result for Q.

Let $d$ be a square-free positive integer and $h(d)$ the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}{(\sqrt{d})}.$ In this paper we give an explicit lower bound for $h(n^2+r)$, where $r=1,4$, and also establish an equivalent…

In this paper we study the convergence of multiple Dirichlet L-series. In particular we give an integral representation of the series in the region of convergence by using Abel's summation formula. A certain generalized result is also…

Let $q$ be a prime, $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character $\bmod\ q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. For every odd prime $q\le 10^7$, we show that $L(1,\chi_\square) > c_{1} \log q$ and $\beta < 1-…

In this note, we develop transformation formulae and expansions for the log tangent integral, which are then used to derive series acceleration formulae for certain values of Dirichlet L-functions, such as Catalan's constant. The formulae…

Counting integral binary quadratic forms with certain restrictions is a classical problem. In this paper, we count binary quadratic forms of fixed discriminant given restrictions on the size of their coefficients. We accomplish this by…

In this article we show how the Dedekind-Hasse criterion may be applied to prove a simple result about quadratic number fields that usually is derived as a consequence of the theory of ideals and ideal classes.

We obtain lower bound of caliber number of real quadratic field $K=\FQ(\sqrt{d})$ using splitting primes in $K$. We find all real quadratic fields of caliber number 1 and find all real quadratic fields of caliber number 2 if $d$ is not 5…
