Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ be the set of irreducible characters of $G$. The codegree of an irreducible character $\chi$ of the group $G$ is defined as $\mathrm{cod}(\chi)=|G:\mathrm{ker}(\chi)|/\chi(1)$. In this paper,…

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 $q$ be a large prime, and $\chi$ the quadratic character modulo $q$. Let $\phi$ be a self-dual Hecke--Maass cusp form for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, and $u_j$ a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\Gamma_0(q)\subseteq SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with spectral…

We show that for a positive proportion of real primitive Dirichlet characters chi, the associated Dirichlet L-function L(s,chi) has no zeros on the positive real axis. Prior to this it was not known whether or not there were infinitely many…

We present upper bounds on certain sums which are related to Artin's primitive root conjecture and are also used in counting ray class characters.

In this paper, we present a simple analytic proof of Siegel's theorem that concerns the lower bound of $L(1,\chi)$ for primitive quadratic $\chi$. Our new method compares an elementary lower bound with an analytic upper bound obtained by…

This paper studies explicit and theoretical bounds for several interesting quantities in number theory, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Specifically, we improve the existing explicit bounds for the least quadratic…

We find an explicit upper bound for general $L$-functions on the critical line, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, and give as illustrative examples its application to some families of $L$-functions and Dedekind zeta functions.…

The problem of finding upper bounds for L-functions at the edge of the critical strip has a long and interesting history. Here, the situation for classical L-functions such as Dirichlet L-functions is relatively well understood. The reason…

Given $c,$ a positive integer, we give an explicit formula and an asymptotic formula for \[ \sum\chi(c)|L(1,\,\chi)|^{2}, \] where $\chi$ is the non-trivial Dirichlet character mod $f$ with $f>c.$

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $p$, a prime. In applications, one often needs estimates for short sums involving $\chi$. One such estimate is the family of bounds known as \emph{Burgess' bound}. In this paper, we explore several…

Let $\chi$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,\chi )}{L(s,\chi)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be…

We give effective lower bounds for $L(1,\chi)$ via Eisenstein series on $\Gamma_0(q) \backslash \mathbb{H}$. The proof uses the Maass-Selberg relation for truncated Eisenstein series and sieve theory in the form of the Brun-Titchmarsh…

For any $\theta>\frac13$, we show that there are constants $c_1,c_2>0$ that depend only on $\theta$ for which the following property holds. If $\chi_1,\chi_2$ are two distinct primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $q$, and $T\ge…

Dirichlet's Lemma states that every primitive quadratic Dirichlet character $\chi$ can be written in the form $\chi(n) = (\frac{\Delta}n)$ for a suitable quadratic discriminant $\Delta$. In this article we define a group, the separant class…

Let $q \in \mathbb{Z} [i]$ be prime and $\chi $ be the primitive quadratic Hecke character modulo $q$. Let $\pi$ be a self-dual Hecke automorphic cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z} [i] )$ and $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $\Gamma_0 (q)…

In this paper we count the number $N_3^{\text{tor}}(X)$ of $3$-dimensional algebraic tori over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose Artin conductor is bounded by $X$. We prove that $N_3^{\text{tor}}(X) \ll_{\varepsilon} X^{1 + \frac{\log 2 +…

We study "forbidden" conductors, i.e. numbers q > 0 satisfying algebraic criteria introduced by J. Kaczorowski, A. Perelli and M. Radziejewski [Acta Arith. 210 (2023), 1-21], that cannot be conductors of L-functions of degree 2 from the…

In this paper, we establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed modulus over function fields. We apply the result to obtain upper bounds on moments of Dirichlet character sums over…

Using the generic chaining method, we derive upper bounds for the \(L^q\) process of sub-Gaussian classes when \(1 \le q \le 2\), thereby resolving an open problem posed by Al-Ghattas, Chen, and Sanz-Alonso in arXiv:2502.16916. Combined…
