We extend the work of Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel on correlation between Hecke eigenvalues of modular forms and algebraic trace functions in order to establish an asymptotic formula for a generalized cubic moment of modular L-functions at…

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $D_4$ quartic extensions of a function field with discriminant equal to some bound, essentially reproducing the analogous result over number fields due Cohen, Diaz y Diaz, and Olivier, but…

We obtain an asymptotic formula with an error term $O(X^{\frac{1}{2} + \varepsilon})$ for the smoothed first moment of quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions. We also give a similar result for the smoothed first moment of the first…

We prove an $\Omega$-result for the quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function $|L(1/2, \chi_P)|$ over irreducible polynomials $P$ associated with the hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ in the large genus limit.…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain an upper bound for the moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Our bound is nearly as sharp as the conjectured asymptotic formulae for these moments. The method extends to moments…

We evaluate the twisted first moment of central values of the family of primitive quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions using the method of double Dirichlet series together with a recursive argument. Our main result is an asymptotic formula…

In this series, we investigate the calculation of mean values of derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions in function fields using the analogue of the approximate functional equation and the Riemann Hypothesis for curves over finite fields.…

We compute moments of $L$-functions associated to the polynomial family of Artin--Schreier covers over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p>2$, when the size of the finite field is fixed and the genus of the family goes to…

For $a/q\in\mathbb{Q}$ the Estermann function is defined as $D(s,a/q):=\sum_{n\geq1}d(n)n^{-s}\operatorname{e}(n\frac aq)$ if $\Re(s)>1$ and by meromorphic continuation otherwise. For $q$ prime, we compute the moments of $D(s,a/q)$ at the…

In this paper, we study the moments of central values of Hecke $L$-functions associated with quadratic characters in $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$ with $\omega = exp(2\pi i/3)$ and establish some quantitative non-vanishing result…

We give a new proof of Heath-Brown's full asymptotic expansion for the second moment of Dirichlet L-functions and we obtain a corresponding asymptotic expansion for a twisted first moment of Hecke-Maass L-functions.

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be irrational real numbers and $0<\F<1/30$. We prove a precise estimate for the number of positive integers $q\leq Q$ that satisfy $\|q\alpha\|\cdot\|q\beta\|<\F$. If we choose $\F$ as a function of $Q$ we get…

For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…

We compute an asymptotic formula for a moment involving the spinor and the standard $L$-functions for holomorphic Siegel cusp forms of degree two and large weight $k$. Applications include simultaneous non-vanishing statements and lower…

We prove an asymptotic for the second moment of quadratic twists of a modular $L$-function. This was previously known conditionally on GRH by the work of Soundararajan and Young.

We consider a sum of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions over the zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. We give an asymptotic formula for the sum.

Let $3\leqslant k\leqslant9$ be a fixed integer, $p$ be a prime and $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. We use $\Delta(x)$ to denote the error term in the asymptotic formula of the summatory function of $d(n)$. The aim of this…

In this paper we find a new lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(x)$ whose class groups have elements of a fixed odd order. More precisely, for $q$, a power of an odd prime, and…

We report on some extensive computations and experiments concerning the moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at the critical point. We computed the values of $L(1/2,\chi_d)$ for $- 5\times 10^{10} < d < 1.3 \times 10^{10}$ in order…

In this paper we prove a function field version of a theorem by Rudnick and Soundararajan about lower bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions. We establish lower bounds for the moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions…
