An explicit formula for the mean value of $\vert L(1,\chi)\vert^2$ is known, where $\chi$ runs over all odd primitive Dirichlet characters of prime conductors $p$. Bounds on the relative class number of the cyclotomic field ${\mathbb…
Let $k = \mathbb{F}_{q}(T)$ be the rational function field over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $q$ is a power of $2$. In this paper we solve the problem of averaging the quadratic $L$-functions $L(s, \chi_{u})$ over fundamental…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the mean value of L-functions associated to cubic characters over F_q[t]. We solve this problem in the non-Kummer setting when q=2 (mod 3) and in the Kummer case when q=1 (mod 3). The proofs rely on…
