We initiate the study of certain families of $L$-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values…

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…

Let $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form, and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$, which we assume to be prime. In this note we revisit the subconvexity problem addressed in `The circle method and bounds…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show using the asymptotic large sieve that 91% of the zeros of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions are simple. This improves on earlier work of \"{O}zl\"{u}k which gives a proportion of at…

In a previous work with B. Garcia, the author considered the asymptotic for the second moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions along cosets, and exhibited a surprising secondary main term that is not predicted by the recipe of Conrey, Farmer,…

We prove a Lindel\"{o}f-on-average upper bound for the second moment of the $L$-functions associated to a level 1 holomorphic cusp form, twisted along a coset of subgroup of the characters modulo $q^{2/3}$ (where $q = p^3$ for some odd…

Let $\chi$ be a quadratic Dirichlet character. In some literatures, various asymptotic formulae of $L'(1,\chi)$, under the assumption that $L(1,\chi)$ takes a small value, were derived. In this paper, we will give a new treatment unified…

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}…

This paper improves the upper bound for the exceptional zeroes of Dirichlet L-functions with even characters. The result is obtained by improving on explicit estimate for $L'(\sigma;\chi)$ for $\sigma$ close to unity, using a result on the…

Let $q$ be a prime, $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character $\bmod\ q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. For every odd prime $q\le 10^7$, we show that $L(1,\chi_\square) > c_{1} \log q$ and $\beta < 1-…
