In previous work it was shown that if certain series based on sums over primes of non-principal Dirichlet characters have a conjectured random walk behavior, then the Euler product formula for its $L$-function is valid to the right of the…

Fix a Hecke cusp form $f$, and consider the $L$-function of $f$ twisted by a primitive Dirichlet character. As we range over all primitive characters of a large modulus $q$, what is the average behavior of the square of the central value of…

We address the problem of evaluating an $L$-function when only a small number of its Dirichlet coefficients are known. We use the approximate functional equation in a new way and find that is possible to evaluate the $L$-function more…

In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…

Assuming the existence of a sequence of exceptional discriminants of quadratic fields, we show that a hundred percent of zeros of the Riemann zeta function are on the critical line in specific segments. This is a special case of a more…

This paper investigates the analytic properties of the Liouville function's Dirichlet series that obtains from the function F(s)= zeta(2s)/zeta(s), where s is a complex variable and zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function. The paper employs a…

We study the distribution of large (and small) values of several families of $L$-functions on a line $\text{Re(s)}=\sigma$ where $1/2<\sigma<1$. We consider the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the $t$-aspect, Dirichlet $L$-functions in…

We study wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions using analytic properties of the Lerch zeta function. Among other things we obtain an asymptotic expansion of wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions (with arbitrary twists) extending results…

Levinson and Montgomery proved that the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ and its derivative have approximately the same number of non-real zeros left of the critical line. R. Spira showed that $\zeta'(1/2+it)=0$ implies $\zeta(1/2+it)=0$.…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

Let $f \in S_k(\Gamma_1(N))$ be a primitive holomorphic form of arbitrary weight $k$ and level $N$. We show that the completed $L$-function of $f$ has $\Omega\left(T^\delta\right)$ simple zeros with imaginary part in $\left[-T, T\right]$,…

We consider moments of higher powers of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. In a restricted region, we give their asymptotic behavior by using de la Bret\`{e}che's multivariable Tauberian theorem. We also give the lower bound of the…

An algorithm is given to efficiently compute $L$-functions with large conductor in a restricted range of the critical strip. Examples are included for about 21000 dihedral Galois representations with conductor near $10^7$. The data shows…

In this paper we address the problem of computing asymptotic formulae for the expected values and second moments of central values of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1/2,\chi_{8d}\otimes\psi)$ when $\psi$ is a fixed even primitive…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for all moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1,\chi)$ modulo $p$ when averaged over a subgroup of characters $\chi$ of size $(p-1)/d$ with $\varphi(d)=o(\log p)$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes,…

We establish a general principle that any lower bound on the non-vanishing of central $L$-values obtained through studying the one-level density of low-lying zeros can be refined to show that most such $L$-values have the typical size…

This paper develops an analytic theory of Dirichlet series in several complex variables which possess sufficiently many functional equations. In the first two sections it is shown how straightforward conjectures about the meromorphic…

We introduce an infinite family of approximations for a Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s, \chi)$ arising from truncated Euler products. These approximations are entire functions and satisfy the same functional equation as $L(s, \chi)$. We…

We show that for a positive proportion of fundamental discriminants d, L(1/2,chi_d) != 0. Here chi_d is the primitive quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor d.
