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 establish asymptotic formulae for the first and second moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions, at the centre of the critical strip, associated to the real quadratic function field $k(\sqrt{P})$ and inert imaginary quadratic…
We study asymptotically the twisted second moment of the family of modular $L$-functions to a fixed modulus. As an application, we establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ and sharp upper bounds for $k$ in the range $0 \leq k…
We explicitly evaluate a special type of multiple Dirichlet $L$-values at positive integers in two different ways: One approach involves using symmetric functions, while the other involves using a generating function of the values. Equating…
Let $f$ be a newform, and let $\chi$ be a primitive character of conductor $q^{\ell}$. Assume that $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we prove the subconvex bound $$ L(\t1/2,\Sym f\otimes\chi)\ll_{f,q,\varepsilon}…
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…
The suggested approach is based on a known representation of Dirichlet $L$-functions via the incomplete gamma functions. Some properties of the Taylor coefficients of the lower incomplete gamma function at infinity seem to be new.…
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…
We prove hybrid subconvexity bounds twisted L-functions $L(s,f\times \chi)$ at the central point using a fourth moment estimate, including a new instance of the Burgess subconvexity bound.
The main purpose of this paper is to study higher order moments of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums weighted by $L$-functions using estimates for character sums and analytic methods. We find asymptotic formulas for three character sums…
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.
Let $\pi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbf{Z})$ and let $g$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbf{Z})$. Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus $M=M_1M_2$ with $M_i$ prime, $i=1,2$.…
In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…
In this paper, we establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed modulus over function fields. We apply the result to obtain upper bounds on moments of Dirichlet character sums over…
In this paper we extend to the function field setting the heuristics formerly developed by Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith, for the integral moments of $L$-functions. We also adapt to the function setting the heuristics first…
Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined modulo $q$, where $q\ge 3$. We prove, under the assumption of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, the validity of…
In this paper, we investigate the conditional large values of the quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions near the central point $s=1/2$. When $\sigma $ closes to $1/2$ within a suitable range, we show that $L(\sigma, \chi_d)$ have the…
For any given integer $k\geq 2$ we prove the existence of infinitely many $q$ and characters $ \chi\pmod q$ of order $k$, such that $|L(1,\chi)|\geq (e^{\gamma}+o(1))\log\log q$. We believe this bound to be best possible. When the order $k$…
Let $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form, and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$, which we assume to be prime. In this note we revisit the subconvexity problem addressed in `The circle method and bounds…
