In this paper, we use the Bessel $\delta$-method, along with new variants of the van der Corput method in two dimensions, to prove non-trivial bounds for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ exponential sums beyond the Weyl barrier. More explicitly, for sums…

Assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, we prove a sharp upper bound on moments of shifted Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this to obtain conditional upper bounds on high moments of theta functions. Both of these results strengthen…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove bounds on short Dirichlet character sums evaluated at a class of homogeneous polynomials in arbitrary dimensions. In every dimension, this bound is nontrivial for sums over boxes with side lengths as short as…

We improve upon the local bound in the depth aspect for sup-norms of newforms on $D^\times$ where $D$ is an indefinite quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. Our sup-norm bound implies a depth-aspect subconvexity bound for $L(1/2, f…

Let $\pi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $\chi=\chi_1\chi_2$ a Dirichlet character with $\chi_i$ primitive modulo $M_i$. Suppose that $M_1$, $M_2$ are primes such that $\max\{(M|t|)^{1/3+2\delta/3},M^{2/5}|t|^{-9/20},…

We describe a new method to estimate the trilinear period on automorphic representations of PGL(2,R). Such a period gives rise to a special value of the triple L-function. We prove a bound for the triple period which amounts to a…

Generalizing our previous work on ``toroidal averages'', we study the average of special values of $L$-functions of the form $L(1/2,\chi^a)L(1/2,\chi^b)L(1/2,\chi^c)$ for integers $a$, $b$ and $c$, where $\chi$ varies over Dirichlet…

Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character of modulus $q$ with associated \textit{L}-function $L(s,\chi)$. We prove that $$|L(1,\chi)|\le\left(\frac{1}{2}+O\Big(\frac{\log\log q}{\log q}\Big)\right)\frac{\varphi(q)}{q}\log q\,,$$…

We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Dirichlet problem for the variable exponent $p$-Laplacian on a bounded, smooth domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^n$, where the boundary datum belongs to $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$.…

In the first part of the paper we show Weyl type spectral asymptotic formulas for pseudodifferential operators $P_a$ of order $2a$, with type and factorization index $a\in R_+$, restricted to compact sets with boundary; this includes…

We establish sharp lower bounds for the $k$-th moment in the range $0 \leq k \leq 1$ of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point.

We study the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor at most $Q$, where $Q$ is a parameter tending to $\infty$. For an arbitrary positive integer $k$, we approximate the twisted $2k$th moment of this…

We prove an explicit upper bound of the function $S(t,\chi)$, defined by the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions. An explicit upper bound of the function $S_1(t)$, defined by the integral of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, have…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

The Postnikov character formula is used to express large portions of a Dirichlet character sum in terms of quadratic exponential sums. The quadratic sums are then computed using an analytic algorithm previously derived by the author. This…
