We study the first moment of primitive quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we obtain an asymptotic formula at the central point with error $O(X^{1/4+\epsilon})$, and…
We study the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s= \frac{1}{2}$. We show an asymptotic formula under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and obtain a precise lower bound unconditionally. The proofs of these results…
We prove one-level density results for L-functions attached to primitive forms of level q, averaged over square-free q, conditional on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). We treat the even and odd orthogonal families separately and…
We prove an upper bound on the density of zeros very close to the critical line of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of modulus $q$ at height $T$. To do this, we derive an asymptotic for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet…
We establish sharp upper bounds for shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our result is then used to prove bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums.
We compute the one-level density of zeros of order $\ell$ Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ for $\ell=3,4$ in the Kummer setting ($q\equiv1\pmod{\ell}$) and for $\ell=3,4,6$ in the non-Kummer setting…
In this paper, we investigate the one-level density of low-lying zeros of quadratic twists of automorphic $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis and the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture. We improve upon the known results using…
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…
The Katz-Sarnak density conjecture states that, in the limit as the conductors tend to infinity, the behavior of normalized zeros near the central point of families of L-functions agree with the N -> oo scaling limits of eigenvalues near 1…
We study the harmonically weighted one-level density of low-lying zeros of $L$-functions in the family of holomorpic newforms of fixed even weight $k$ and prime level $N$ tending to infinity. For this family, Iwaniec, Luo and Sarnak proved…
Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling-Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of…
In this paper, we use the Weyl-bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions to derive zero-density estimates for $L$-functions associated to families of fixed-order Dirichlet characters. The results improve on previous bounds given by the author when…
We investigate the approximation of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields by truncations of their Euler products. We first establish representations for such $L$-functions as products over prime polynomials times products…
We obtain the asymptotic main term of moments of arbitrary derivatives of $L$-functions in the function field setting. Specifically, the first, second, and mixed fourth moments. The average is taken over all non-trivial characters of a…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we establish explicit bounds in the $q$-aspect for the logarithmic derivative $\left(L'/L\right)\left(\sigma,\chi\right)$ of Dirichlet $L$-functions, where $\chi$ is a primitive character modulo…
Generalizing work of Polya, de Bruijn and Newman, we allow the backward heat equation to deform the zeros of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions. There is a real constant \Lambda_Kr (generalizing the de Bruijn-Newman constant \Lambda) such that…
The first nontrivial zeroes of the Riemann $\zeta$ function are $\approx 1/2+\pm14.13472i$. We investigate the question of whether or not any other L-function has a higher lowest zero. To do so we try to quantify the notion that the…
For a primitive Dirichlet character $X$, a new hypothesis $RH_{sim}^\dagger[X]$ is introduced, which asserts that (1) all simple zeros of $L(s,X)$ in the critical strip are located on the critical line, and (2) these zeros satisfy some…
We prove a subconvexity bound for the central value L(1/2, chi) of a Dirichlet L-function of a character chi to a prime power modulus q=p^n of the form L(1/2, chi)\ll p^r * q^(theta+epsilon) with a fixed r and theta\approx 0.1645 < 1/6,…
We study the one-level density for families of L-functions associated with cubic Dirichlet characters defined over the Eisenstein field. We show that the family of $L$-functions associated with the cubic residue symbols $\chi_n$ with $n$…
