In 1970, Huxley obtained a sharp upper bound for the sixth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point, averaged over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ and all moduli $q \leq Q$. In 2007, as an application of their…

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 prove an asymptotic formula expressing the regularized fourth moment of all newform Eisenstein series of primitive nebentypus as a mean value of $L$-functions. This is an analogue of the recent work of Djankovi\'c and Khan in the…

Assuming two deep but standard conjectures from the Langlands Programme, we prove that the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem holds for imaginary quadratic fields Q(\sqrt{-d}) with -d=2, 3 mod 4. For a general number field K, again assuming…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power, and $H_{d,q}$ denote the set of square-free monic polynomials $D(x) \in F_q[x]$ of degree $d$. Katz and Sarnak showed that the moments, over $H_{d,q}$, of the zeta functions associated to the curves…

A new reciprocity formula for Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to an arbitrary primitive Dirichlet character of prime modulus $q$ is established. We find an identity relating the fourth moment of individual Dirichlet $L$-functions in the…

In this note we investigate the behavior at the central point of the symmetric square $L$-functions, the most frequently used $\rm{GL}(3)$ $L$-functions. We establish an asymptotic formula with arbitrary power saving for the first moment of…

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 calculate the first and second moments of L-functions in the family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve E over F_q[x], asymptotically in the limit as the degree of the twists tends to infinity. We also compute moments involving…

This paper studies the first moment of symmetric-square $L$-functions at the critical point in the weight aspect. Asymptotics with the best known error term $O(k^{-1/2})$ were obtained independently by Fomenko in 2005 and by Sun in 2013. We…
