Given a multi-variable polynomial, there is an associated divided symmetrization (in particular turning it into a symmetric function). Postinkov has found the volume of a permutohedron as a divided symmetrization (DS) of the power of a…
Some Dirichlet-like functions, attached to a pair (periodic function, polynomial) are introduced and studied. These functions generalize the standard Dirichlet L-functions of Dirichlet characters. They have similar properties, being…
In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula for the twisted second moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions with one and two twists when averaged over all primitive Dirichlet characters of modulus $R$, where $R$ is a monic polynomial in…
We show that a short truncation of the Fourier expansion for a character sum gives a good approximation for the average value of that character sum over an interval. We give a few applications of this result. One is that for any $b$ there…
For an even Dirichlet character psi, we obtain a formula for L(1,psi) in terms of a sum of Dirichlet L-series evaluated at s=2 and s=3 and a rapidly convergent numerical series involving the central binomial coefficients. We then derive a…
In this rather computational paper, we determine certain representation numbers of ideals in real quadratic number fields explicitly in order to obtain a representation of the associated Dirichlet series in terms of Dirichlet L-functions…
We compute the fourth moment of Dirichlet L-functions at the central point for prime moduli, with a power savings in the error term.
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}…
A generalization of the classical Lipschitz summation formula is proposed. It involves new polylogarithmic rational functions constructed via the Fourier expansion of certain sequences of Bernoulli--type polynomials. Related families of…
We explicitly evaluate a special type of multiple Dirichlet $L$-values at positive integers in two different ways: One approach involves using symmetric functions, while the other involves using a generating function of the values. Equating…
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…
In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove a new Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\delta})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is the…
We prove a subconvexity bound for the central value L(1/2, chi) of a Dirichlet L-function of a character chi to a prime power modulus q=p^n of the form L(1/2, chi)\ll p^r * q^(theta+epsilon) with a fixed r and theta\approx 0.1645 < 1/6,…
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 $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…
In this paper, we study a Dirichlet series generated by powers of harmonic numbers. As an application of these functions, we derive certain series involving harmonic numbers. We also study the analytic properties of these Dirichlet series…
We investigate various mean value problems involving order three primitive Dirichlet characters. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the first moment of central values of the Dirichlet L-functions associated to this family,…
We prove character sum estimates for additive Bohr subsets modulo a prime. These estimates are analogous to classical character sum bounds of Polya-Vinogradov and Burgess. These estimates are applied to obtain results on recurrence mod $p$…
Analytic continuation and functional equation of a Dirichlet series constructed from two (not necessarily cuspidal) holomorphic modular forms is discussed, where either weights of the modular forms or characters are not necessarily equal to…
We derive modular parametrizations for certain infinite series whose summands involve central binomial coefficients and higher-order harmonic numbers. When the rates of convergence are certain rational numbers, modularity allows us to…
