We calculate certain "wide moments" of central values of Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions $L(\pi\otimes \Omega, 1/2)$ where $\pi$ is a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\Omega$ is a Hecke character…

We establish a new connection between moments of $n \times n$ random matrices $X_n$ and hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. Specifically, we consider moments $\mathbb{E}\mathrm{Tr} X_n^{-s}$ as a function of the complex variable $s \in…

There are many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group G in terms of sums over its characters. For estimating these sums, one of the most salient quantities to understand is the character ratio trace(\pi(g)) /…

We establish results on the rationality of ratios of successive critical values of Langlands-Shahidi $L$-functions, as they appear in the constant term of the Eisenstein series associated with the exceptional group of type $G_2$ over a…

We consider the Rankin-Selberg L-functions associated with a fixed modular form of full level and holomorphic cuspidal newforms of large even weight, fixed level and fixed primitive nebentypus. We compute the second moment of this family in…

This paper presents empirical evidence supporting Goldfeld's conjecture on the average analytic rank of a family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve in the function field setting. In particular, we consider representatives of the…

Combining $2$-descent techniques with Riemann-Roch and B\'ezout's theorems, we give an upper bound on the number of rational points of bounded height on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over function fields of characteristic $\neq 2$. We…

We consider the field of hyperelliptic functions defined for a family of hyperelliptic curves as rational functions in some special functions from Kleinian functions theory. We compare our definition with the classical one. We provide…

We derive a family of approximations for L-functions of Hecke cusp eigenforms, according to a recipe first described by Matiyasevich for the Riemann xi function. We show that these approximations converge to the true L-function and point…

We study matrix integrals of the form $$\int_{\mathrm{USp(2n)}}\prod_{j=1}^k\mathrm{tr}(U^j)^{a_j}\mathrm d U,$$ where $a_1,\ldots,a_r$ are natural numbers and integration is with respect to the Haar probability measure. We obtain a compact…

We give an alternative computation of the twisted second moment of critival values of class group $L$-functions attached to an imaginary quadratic field. The method avoids long calculations and yields the expected polynomial growth in the…

We determine the large-genus limiting distribution of the 4-rank of the Picard group of hyperelliptic curves over a fixed finite field $\mathbb F_q$ of odd characteristic. This is a function field analogue of a result of Fouvry and…

We examine the asymptotics of the moments of characteristic polynomials of $N\times N$ matrices drawn from the Hermitian ensembles of Random Matrix Theory, in the limit as $N\to\infty$. We focus in particular on the Gaussian Unitary…

In this work we present an explicit relation between the number of points on a family of algebraic curves over $\F_{q}$ and sums of values of certain hypergeometric functions over $\F_{q}$. Moreover, we show that these hypergeometric…

Let $\epsilon>0$. In this article we will present a deterministic algorithm which does the following. The input is a hyperelliptic curve $C$ of genus $g$ over a finite field $k$ of cardinality $q$ given by $y^2+h(x)y=f(x)$ such that the…

The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over the rational function field at the central point $s=\tfrac{1}{2}$ where the character $\chi$ is defined by the Legendre symbol for…

We define L-functions for meromorphic modular forms that are regular at cusps, and use them to: (i) find new relationships between Hurwitz class numbers and traces of singular moduli, (ii) establish predictions from the physics of…

This is the first installment in a series of papers devoted to examining certain aspects of the asymptotic value distribution and distribution of zeros manifested by members of a broad class of linear combinations of L-functions in the…

In this paper, we evaluate explicitly certain quadratic Hecke Gauss sums of $\mathbb{Q}(\omega), \omega=\exp \left( \frac {2\pi i}{3}\right)$. As applications, we study the moments of central values of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions of…

In this paper we present a new approach to counting the proportion of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a given $a$-number. In characteristic three this method gives exact probabilities for…
