We prove special cases of the Ratios Conjecture for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over function fields. More specifically, we study the average of $L(1/2+\alpha,\chi_D)/L(1/2+\beta,\chi_D)$, when $D$ varies over monic,…

We investigate the mean value of the first moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi\ primitive\ cubic\\…

Let $k$ be a positive real number, and let $M_k(q)$ be the sum of $|L(\tfrac12,\chi)|^{2k}$ over all non-principal characters to a given modulus $q$. We prove that $M_k(q)\ll_k \phi(q)(\log q)^{k^2}$ whenever $k$ is the reciprocal $n^{-1}$…

We investigate the sums $(1/\sqrt{H}) \sum_{X < n \leq X+H} \chi(n)$, where $\chi$ is a fixed non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$, and $0 \leq X \leq q-1$ is uniformly random. Davenport and Erd\H{o}s, and more recently…

Let $f$ be a newform, and let $\chi$ be a primitive character of conductor $q^{\ell}$. Assume that $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we prove the subconvex bound $$ L(\t1/2,\Sym f\otimes\chi)\ll_{f,q,\varepsilon}…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non trivial primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined $\bmod\ q$, where $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we introduce a fast method to compute $\vert L(1,\chi) \vert$ using…

The main purpose of this paper is to establish bounds on the second moment of $L\big(\tfrac{1}{2}+it,\chi\big)$, averaged over families of fixed order characters. A discrete version of the main result is also stated, from which zero-density…

Let $\chi$ a primitive character$\pmod q$ and consider the Dirichlet $L$-function $$L(s,\chi)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}.$$ We give a new proof of an upper bound of Heath-Brown for $|L(s,\chi)|$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$

We study the relation between the size of $L(1,\chi)$ and the width of the zero-free interval to the left of that point.

Under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis, the Linear Independence Hypothesis, and a bound on negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function, we prove the existence of a limiting logarithmic distribution of the normalisation of…

For $0 < a \le 1/2$, we define the quadrilateral zeta function $Q(s,a)$ using the Hurwitz and periodic zeta functions and show that $Q(s,a)$ satisfies Riemann's functional equation studied by Hamburger, Heck and Knopp. Moreover, we prove…

It is proved that for any non-empty finite subset $Q$ of the square numbers, $ |Q+Q|\geq C'|Q|(\log |Q|)^{1/3+o(1)} $. This result essentially is proved -- with the same tools -- by Mei-Chu Chang. See in J. Funct. Anal. 207 (2004), no 2,…

In this article, we consider weighted weak type $(1,1)$ inequality for certain square function associated to differences of ball averages and martingale in the non-commutative setting. This establishes a weighted version of main result of…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a real, non-principal character modulo $q$. Using Pintz's refinement of Page's theorem, we prove that for $q\geq 3$ the function $L(s, \chi)$ has at most one real zero $\beta$…

In the present paper, we study large values of Dirichlet $L$- functions inside the critical strip. For every $1/2<\sigma<1$, we show that for $q$ sufficiently large, there exists a non-principal character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and a constant…

Given a Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and its associated $L$-function, $L(s,\chi)$, we provide an explicit version of Burgess' estimate for $|L(s, \chi)|$. We use partial summation to provide bounds along the vertical lines $\Re{s}…

This note gives a simple proof that certain values of Artin's $L$-function, for a representation $\rho$ with character $\chi_\rho$, are stable under twisting by an even Dirichlet character $\chi$, up to an element generated over $\mathbb Q$…

Let $\chi=\chi_q$ be a primitive character mod $q$ and fix $\Delta>0$. In 1989 Graham and Ringrose gave strong bounds on character sums $\sum_{M<n\leq M+N} \chi(n)$ in intervals of length $N=q^\Delta$ whenever $q$ is squarefree and is…

We compute the expected value of Dirichlet $L$-functions defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ attached to cubic characters evaluated at an arbitrary $s \in (0,1)$. We find a transition term at the point $s=\frac{1}{3}$, reminiscent of the…

In this paper, we study lower bounds of a general family of $L$-functions on the $1$-line. More precisely, we show that for any $F(s)$ in this family, there exists arbitrary large $t$ such that $F(1+it)\geq e^{\gamma_F} (\log_2 t + \log_3…
