We compute the special values of partial zeta function at $s=0$ for family of real quadratic fields $K_n$ and ray class ideals $\fb_n$ such that $\fb_n^{-1} = [1,\delta(n)]$ where the continued fraction expansion of $\delta(n)$ is purely…

Deep work by Shintani in the 1970's describes Hecke $L$-functions associated to narrow ray class group characters of totally real fields $F$ in terms of what are now known as Shintani zeta functions. However, for $[F:\mathbb{Q}] = n \geq…

We survey a number of different methods for computing $L(\chi,1-k)$ for a Dirichlet character $\chi$, with particular emphasis on quadratic characters. The main conclusion is that when $k$ is not too large (for instance $k\le100$) the best…

Let $K$ be a number field and, for an integral ideal $\mathfrak{q}$ of $K$, let $\chi$ be a character of the narrow ray class group modulo $\mathfrak{q}$. We establish various new and improved explicit results, with effective dependence on…

Set $K=\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and suppose that $c\in \mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a square-free algebraic integer with $c\equiv 1 \imod{\langle16\rangle}$. Let $L(s,\chi_{c})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function associated with the quartic residue character modulo…

We show that for a positive proportion of real primitive Dirichlet characters chi, the associated Dirichlet L-function L(s,chi) has no zeros on the positive real axis. Prior to this it was not known whether or not there were infinitely many…

We study real zeros of a family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field to show that more than twenty percent of the members have no zeros on the interval $(0, 1]$.

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 prove that given a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$ for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and a sufficiently large integer $q=q_1q_2$ with $q_j\asymp \sqrt{q}$ being prime numbers for $j=1,2$, there exists a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$…

In this paper, we generalize a work of Rohrlich. Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\phi$ be a Hecke character of $K$ of infinite type (1,0) whose restriction to $\mathbb{Q}$ is the quadratic character corresponding to…

Let K be a number field containing the n-th roots of unity for some n > 2. We prove a uniform subconvexity result for a family of double Dirichlet series built out of central values of Hecke L-functions of n-th order characters of K. The…

In this paper we extend to the function field setting the heuristics formerly developed by Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith, for the integral moments of $L$-functions. We also adapt to the function setting the heuristics first…

Let $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ be an imaginary quadratic number field of class number $1$ and $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{K}}$ its ring of integers. We study a family of Hecke $L$-functions associated to angular characters on the…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic number field and let $L(s,\xi_{\ell})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function to an angular character $\xi_{\ell}$ with frequency $\ell$. We detect values of $\log |L(\tfrac12,\xi_{\ell})|$ with size at least…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet L-function associated to $\chi$. Using a new two-piece mollifier we show that $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)\ne0$ for at least 34% of the characters in the…
