We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an application, we prove bounds for moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums.

Let $f$ be a Hecke-Maass or holomorphic primitive cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus, and let $\chi$ be a primitive character of conductor $M$. For the twisted $L$-function $L(s,f\otimes \chi)$ we establish the hybrid subconvex…

We study the operator $L=-\Delta+q$ on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, where $q(x)$ is a distributional potential. We find sufficient conditions for $q(x)$ which guarantee that $L$ is well--defined with Dirichlet and…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group, $\chi$ and $\psi$ be irreducible complex characters of $G$ of prime degree. Assume that $\chi(1)=p$. Then either the product $\chi\psi$ is a multiple of an irreducible character or $\chi\psi$ is the…

For $n\leq 4$, we compute the indecomposible higher Chow groups $\overline{\operatorname{CH}}(\mathcal{M}_{1,n},1)$ with integer coefficients. As an application, we give new proofs of presentations of the integral Chow rings…

We computationally verify that if $L(s,\chi)$ is a quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function modulo $q \leq 10^{10}$ then $L(\sigma,\chi) \neq 0$ for real $\sigma \ge 1-1/(5\log q)$. The number of verified moduli exceeds benchmarks due to Watkins…

Following the work of Mestre, we use Weil's explicit formulas to compute explicit lower bounds on the conductors of elliptic curves and abelian varieties over number fields. Moreover, we obtain bounds for the conductor of elliptic curves…

Recently, the problem of bounding the sup norms of $L^2$-normalized cuspidal automorphic newforms $\phi$ on $\text{GL}_2$ in the level aspect has received much attention. However at the moment strong upper bounds are only available if the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rationals. We will consider the infinite extension $\mathbb{Q}(E_{\text{tor}})$ of the rationals where we adjoin all coordinates of torsion points of $E$. In this paper we will prove an explicit lower…

For $q,n,d \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A_q^L(n,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code $C \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_q^n$ with minimum Lee distance at least $d$, where $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denotes the cyclic group of order $q$. We consider a…

We generalize our previous method on subconvexity problem for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$ with cuspidal representations to Eisenstein series, and deduce a Burgess-like subconvex bound for Hecke characters, i.e., the bound…

In this paper we give a refinement of the bound of D. A. Burgess for multiplicative character sums modulo a prime number $q$. This continues a series of previous logarithmic improvements, which are mostly due to H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski.…

Under suitable, fairly weak hypotheses on an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and a primitive non-trivial Dirichlet character $\chi$, we show that the algebraic $L$-value $\mathscr{L}(E,\chi)$ at $s=1$ is an algebraic integer. For instance,…

We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…

In this paper we investigate the distribution of values of L(1,chi) as chi ranges over primitive real characters. In particular we focus on the extent to which this distribution may be approximated by "random Euler products." Our work also…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…

We present a basic pointwise bound for the irreducible characters of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ and, as an application, derive new $L^p$ bounds for these characters. Our approach is based on the descent of characters to singular sets and the…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character whose conductor $q$ is a prime number. For the certain averages of values of $\log |L(s, \chi)|$ in $q$-aspect at a fixed $s=\sigma>1/2$, under Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we explain…

We give a geometric criterion for Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to cyclic characters over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ to vanish at the central point $s=1/2$. The idea is based on the observation that vanishing at the…

Let $q=p^\alpha$ be a fixed prime power, $k\geq 2$ be an integer. We give a new upper bound for the size of $k$-wise $q$-modular $L$-avoiding $L$-intersecting set systems, where $L$ is any proper subset of $\{0, \ldots , q-1\}$. Our proof…
