We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of modular $L$-functions to a fixed modulus as well as quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our results are then used to establish bounds for…

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…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…

We establish a Weyl-type subconvexity of $L(\tfrac{1}{2},f)$ for spherical Hilbert newforms $f$ with level ideal $\mathfrak{N}^2$, in which $\mathfrak{N}$ is required to be cube-free, and at any prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ with…

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. P. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to…

For any large prime $q$, $x \leq 1$ and any real $k\geq 2$, we prove a lower bound for the following $2k$-th moment \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi \in X_q^*}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k}, \end{equation*} where…

We obtain new bounds of multivariate exponential sums with monomials, when the variables run over rather short intervals. Furthermore, we use the same method to derive estimates on similar sums with multiplicative characters to which…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we derive explicit bounds for the error terms in short interval analogues of the prime number theorem and Mertens' theorems using a smoothing argument. Our results improve upon previous bounds in both…

We study upper bounds for sums of Dirichlet characters. We prove a uniform upper bound of the character sum over all proper generalized arithmetic progressions, which generalizes the classical Polya and Vinogradov inequality. Our argument…

We use the Burgess bound and Selberg sieve to obtain an upper bound on the second moment of sums over an interval $[u+1,u+h]$ of Legendre symbols modulo primes $p$ in a dyadic interval $[Q,2Q]$. The bound is nontrivial and gives a power…

We estimate weighted character sums with determinants $ad-bc $ of $2\times 2$ matrices modulo a prime $p$ with entries $a,b,c,d $ varying over the interval $ [1,N]$. Our goal is to obtain nontrivial bounds for values of $N$ as small as…

Let $\chi=\chi_q$ be a primitive character mod $q$ and fix $\Delta>0$. In 1989 Graham and Ringrose gave strong bounds on character sums $\sum_{M<n\leq M+N} \chi(n)$ in intervals of length $N=q^\Delta$ whenever $q$ is squarefree and is…

We prove non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms with hyper-Kloosterman sums with characters modulo a prime $q$ which, for both variables of length $M$, are non-trivial as soon as $M\geq q^{3/8+\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$. This range, which…
