We use the relative trace formula to obtain exact formulas for central values of certain twisted quadratic base change L-functions averaged over Hilbert modular forms of a fixed weight and level. We apply these formulas to the subconvexity…

We give a full description of the functions $F$ of degree 2 and conductor 1 in the general framework of the extended Selberg class. This is performed by means of a new numerical invariant $\chi_F$, which is easily computed from the data of…

We improve on the subconvexity bound for self-dual $\rm{GL}(3)$ $L$-functions in the $t$-aspect. Previous results were obtained by Li and by Mckee, Sun and Ye.

Let $\pi'$ be a fixed unitary cuspidal representation of $\mathrm{GL}(n)/\mathbb{Q}.$ We establish a subconvex bound in the $t$-aspect $$ L(1/2+it,\pi\times\pi')\ll_{\pi,\pi',\varepsilon}(1+|t|)^{\frac{n(n+1)}{4}-\frac{1}{4\cdot…

We elaborate an explicit version of the relative trace formula on $\PGL(2)$ over a totally real number field for the toral periods of Hilbert cusp forms along the diagonal split torus. As an application, we prove (i) a spectral…

We compute the first moment of cubic Hecke $L$-functions over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ evaluated at any $s$ inside the critical strip. The first moment for $s<\frac{1}{2}$ is particularly interesting, and we show there is a phase transition…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$ for $SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ and $$ r_3(n)=\#\left\{(n_1,n_2,n_3)\in \mathbb{Z}^3:n_1^2+n_2^2+n_3^2=n\right\}. $$ Let $1\leq h\leq X$ and $\phi(x)$ be a smooth…

The standard twist $F(s,\alpha)$ of $L$-functions $F(s)$ in the Selberg class has several interesting properties and plays a central role in the Selberg class theory. It is therefore natural to study its finer analytic properties, for…

An explicit hybrid estimate for $L(1/2+it,\chi)$ is derived, where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character modulo $q$. The estimate applies when $t$ is bounded away from zero, and is most effective when $q$ is powerfull, yielding an explicit Weyl…

We establish an unconditional result concerning the asymptotic formula for the moment of derivatives of $L$-functions $L(s, f \otimes \chi_{8d})L(s, g \otimes \chi_{8d})$ over quadratic twists, where $f$ and $g$ are distinct cuspidal…

Let $\chi$ denote a primitive, non-quadratic Dirichlet character with conductor $q$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ denote its associated Dirichlet $L$-function. We show that $|L(1, \chi)| \geq 1/(9.12255 \log(q/\pi))$ for sufficiently large $q$, and…

Double $L$-functions are the generalization of Dirichlet $L$-functions to two variable functions. We investigate the order estimation of double $L$-functions, and give upper bounds which are explicit in conductor aspect.

The suggested approach is based on a known representation of Dirichlet $L$-functions via the incomplete gamma functions. Some properties of the Taylor coefficients of the lower incomplete gamma function at infinity seem to be new.…

We develope the $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field using multiple Dirichlet series under the generalized…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we establish explicit bounds in the $q$-aspect for the logarithmic derivative $\left(L'/L\right)\left(\sigma,\chi\right)$ of Dirichlet $L$-functions, where $\chi$ is a primitive character modulo…

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…

In this paper, we study the average behaviour of the coefficients of triple product L-functions and some related L-functions corresponding to normalized primitive holomorphic cusp form $f(z)$ of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\…

We devise heuristics using multiple Dirichlet series to predict asymptotic formulas for shifted moments of (1) the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor $\leq Q$, with $Q$ a parameter tending to…

We describe a practical method for finding an L-function without first finding the associated underlying object. The procedure involves using the Euler product and the approximate functional equation in a new way. No use is made of the…

For ordinary modular forms, there are two constructions of a p-adic L-function attached to the non-unit root of the Hecke polynomial, which are conjectured but not known to coincide. We prove this conjecture for modular forms of CM type, by…
