Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $K$ be a field with a henselian discrete valuation of rank $n$ with hereditarily euclidean residue field. Let $F/K$ be an algebraic function field in one variable. We show that the Pythagoras number of $F$ is…

Given a rational elliptic curve $ E $ of analytic rank zero, its L-function can be twisted by an even primitive Dirichlet character $ \chi $ of order $ q $, and in many cases its associated central algebraic L-value $ \mathcal{L}(E, \chi) $…

We propose a refined version of the existing conjectural asymptotic formula for the moments of the family of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over rational function fields. Our prediction is motivated by two natural conjectures that provide…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, as the base field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is fixed and the genus of the family goes to infinity. According to conjectures of Andrade…

A global real analytic regularity theorem for a quasilinear sum of squares of vector fields of Hormander rank 2 is given. A related local result for a special case was proved recently by the second author and L. Zanghirati in a paper titled…

For a finite group $G$ and a sufficiently large (but fixed) prime power $q$ coprime to $G$ we obtain asymptotics for the number of regular Galois extensions $L/ \mathbb{F}_q(t)$, with $\mathrm{Gal}(L/\mathbb{F}_q(t)) \cong G$, ramified at a…

We prove strong estimates for averages of shifted convolution sums consisting of quadratic twists of $\mathrm{GL}_{2}$ $L$-functions. The key input involves the circle method together with standard tools such as Vorono\u{\i}, quadratic…

We compute asymptotic formulae for the mollified first and second moments for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in the function field setting. As an application, we obtain non-vanishing results for the derivatives of the…

We study the character sums \[\phi_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}\phi\left(x(x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right),\textrm{ and, } \psi_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}\phi\left((x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right)\] where $\phi$ is the quadratic…

We investigate the approximation of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields by truncations of their Euler products. We first establish representations for such $L$-functions as products over prime polynomials times products…

We prove that the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with Dirichlet characters in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ are universal. That is, given a modulus of high enough degree, $L$-functions with characters to this modulus can be found that approximate…

We show that a pair of newforms $(f,g)$ can be uniquely determined by the product of the central $L$-values of their twists. To achieve our goal, we prove an asymptotic formula for the average of the product of the central values of two…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation of $GL_m({\Bbb A}_{\Bbb Q})$ and $L(s,\,\pi)$ be the global $L-$function attached to $\pi$. If ${\rm Re}(s)>1$, $L(s,\,\pi)$ has a Dirichlet series expression. When $\pi$ is…

By adapting the technique of David, Koukoulopoulos and Smith for computing sums of Euler products, and using their interpretation of results of Schoof \`a la Gekeler, we determine the average number of subgroups (or cyclic subgroups) of an…

Given a curve $C$ over a number field $K$ equipped with the action of a finite group $G$ by $K$-automorphisms, one obtains a factorisation of $L(C,s)$ into a product of $L$-functions of `motivic pieces of curves' associated to irreducible…

Let $\ell\geq 5$ be prime. Let $\mathcal{F}_\ell$ be the collection of (isomorphism classes of) pure number fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[\ell]{a})$ of degree $\ell$, ordered by the absolute value of their discriminant. In 2018, Benli proved a…

Fixing $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic, we give an explicit upper bound on the proportion of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose zeta function vanishes at $\frac{1}{2} + it$.…

In the present paper, we prove that the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ is equivalent to the following bound: Let $k \geq 1$ and $\ell$ be positive real numbers. For any $\epsilon >0$, we have…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for all moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1,\chi)$ modulo $p$ when averaged over a subgroup of characters $\chi$ of size $(p-1)/d$ with $\varphi(d)=o(\log p)$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes,…

We give an explicit upper bound for non-principal Dirichlet $L$-functions on the line $s=1+it$. This result can be applied to improve the error in the zero-counting formulae for these functions.
