Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, and $L(s,\chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-functions corresponding to $\chi$. In this paper, we show some special function series, and give some new identities for the…

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…

In this note we define L-functions of finite graphs and study the particular case of finite cycles in the spirit of a previous paper that studied spectral zeta functions of graphs. The main result is a suggestive equivalence between an…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of odd cardinality $q$, $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $k=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ the rational function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we compute the…

We compute the variances of sums in arithmetic progressions of arithmetic functions associated with certain $L$-functions of degree two and higher in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, in the limit as $q\to\infty$. This is achieved by establishing…

For a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p\geq 5$ and $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, we consider the family of elliptic curves $E_d$ over $K$ given by $y^2+xy - t^dy=x^3$ for all integers $d$ coprime to $q$. We provide an explicit…

Let $F$ be a number field, and $\pi$ a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_N(\mathbb{A}_F)$ of symplectic type. When $\pi$ is spherical at all primes $\mathfrak{p}|p$, we construct a $p$-adic $L$-function…

We use the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method to estimate short character sums to smooth moduli. If $\chi$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a squarefree, $q^\delta$-smooth integer $q$ we show that $$L(\frac12,\chi)\ll_\epsilon…

We prove asymptotic formulas for cyclicity of reductions of elliptic curves over the rationals in a family of curves having specified torsion. These results agree with established conditional results and with average results taken over…

A classical problem in number theory is showing that the mean value of an arithmetic function is asymptotic to its mean value over a short interval or over an arithmetic progression, with the interval as short as possible or the modulus as…

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…
