The moments of central values of families of L-functions have recently attracted much attention and, with the work of Keating and Snaith, there are now precise conjectures for their limiting values. We develop a simple method to establish…

Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. Let us use $\mathcal{L}(s,\chi)$ to denote its logarithmic derivative $L'(s, \chi)/L(s, \chi)$. We first prove some arithmetic…

For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…

In this paper, we use the methods of Andrade, Rudnick and Soundarajan to prove a Theorem about Lower bounds of moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions associated to monic irreducible polynomials over function fields.

In this paper, we extend to the function field setting the heuristics developed by Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith for the integral moments of L-functions. Also, we adapt to function field setting the heuristics first…

We compute the first moment of cubic Hecke $L$-functions over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ evaluated at any $s$ inside the critical strip. The first moment for $s<\frac{1}{2}$ is particularly interesting, and we show there is a phase transition…

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…

We derive formulas for the terms in the conjectured asymptotic expansions of the moments, at the central point, of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions, $L(1/2,\chi_d)$, and also of the $L$-functions associated to quadratic twists of an…

We establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields. As an application, we prove some bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums over function fields.

Let $F$ be a self-dual Hecke-Maa\ss\ form for ${\rm{GL}}(3)$ underlying the symmetric square lift of a ${\rm{GL}}(2)$-newform of square-free level and trivial nebentypus. In this paper, we are interested in the first moments of the central…

In this paper, we establish the expected order of magnitude of the $k$th-moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ as well as of prime moduli over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for…

In this paper, over imaginary quadratic fields, we consider the family of $L$-functions $L (s, f)$ for an orthonormal basis of spherical Hecke--Maass forms $f$ with Archimedean parameter $t_f$. We establish asymptotic formulae for the…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$, over all moduli $q\leq Q$ and with a short average on the critical line. Previously the same result was…

We compute moments of $L$-functions associated to the polynomial family of Artin--Schreier covers over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p>2$, when the size of the finite field is fixed and the genus of the family goes to…

We investigate the mean value of the first moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi\ primitive\ cubic\\…

We prove that more than nine percent of the central values $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi_p)$ are non-zero, where $p\equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ ranges over primes and $\chi_p$ is the real primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $p$. Previously, it was not…

The asymptotic formula of the fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central value was predicted in a conjecture by J. B. Conrey, D. W. Farmer, J. P. Keating, M. O. Rubinstein, and N. C. Snaith, and the prime moduli case was proved…

In this paper, we study the first moment of central values of Hecke $L$-functions associated with quartic characters.

We compute the expected value of Dirichlet $L$-functions defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ attached to cubic characters evaluated at an arbitrary $s \in (0,1)$. We find a transition term at the point $s=\frac{1}{3}$, reminiscent of the…

We establish unconditional sharp upper bounds of the $k$-th moments of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point for $0 \leq k \leq 2$.
