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…

We initiate the study of certain families of $L$-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values…

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…

Let $f$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for the full modular group and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$. Let $s_0=\sigma_0+it_0$ with $\frac{1}{2}\leq\sigma_0<1$. We improve the error term for the first moment of…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of a quasi-split unitary group ${\rm U}_{\mathfrak n}$ defined over a number field $F$. Under the assumption that $\pi$ has a generic global Arthur parameter, we establish the…

In this paper we study the distribution of extreme values of $\arg L(1,\chi)$, as $\chi$ varies over primitive characters modulo a large prime $q$.

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…

We study the vanishing of $L(f,\chi,j)$ as $f$ runs through all classical forms in a $p$-adic Hida family (including forms with arbitrarily high nebentype at $p$), $\chi$ runs through all characters of $p$-power conductor, and $j$ is a…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be a number field of degree $n$. We show that if $\operatorname{Reg}(E)\ll_n |\operatorname{Disc}(E)|^{1/4}$ then the fraction of class group characters for which the Hecke $L$-function does not vanish at the central…

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…

Let K be a number field containing the n-th roots of unity for some n > 2. We prove a uniform subconvexity result for a family of double Dirichlet series built out of central values of Hecke L-functions of n-th order characters of K. The…

We establish lower bounds for the $2k$-th moment of central values of the family of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed prime modulus for all real $k<0$, assuming the non-vanishing of these $L$-values.

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…

We investigate various mean value problems involving order three primitive Dirichlet characters. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the first moment of central values of the Dirichlet L-functions associated to this family,…

For each nonprincipal Dirichlet character $\chi$, let $n_\chi$ be the least $n$ with $\chi(n) \notin \{0,1\}$. We show that as the average of $n_\chi$ over all nonprincipal characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ is $\ell(q) + o(1)$, where $\ell(q)$…

In this paper, we consider the non-vanishing problem for the family of special Hecke--Maass $L$-values $ L (1/2+it_f, f) $ with $f (z)$ in an orthonormal basis of (even or odd) Hecke--Maass cusp forms of Laplace eigenvalue $1/4 + t_f^2$…

Let $q$ be a positive integer ($\geq 2$), $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, $L(s, \chi)$ be the attached Dirichlet $L$-function, and let $L^\prime(s, \chi)$ denote its derivative with respect to the complex variable $s$. Let $t_0$…

For any periodic function $f:{\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb C}$ with period $q$, we study the Dirichlet series $L(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)/n^s.$ It is well-known that this admits an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane except at…

We show that a large number of elliptic curve L-functions do not vanish at the central point, conditionally on the generalized Riemann hypothesis and on a hypothesis on the regular distribution of the root number.

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…
