The main purpose of this paper is to establish bounds on the second moment of $L\big(\tfrac{1}{2}+it,\chi\big)$, averaged over families of fixed order characters. A discrete version of the main result is also stated, from which zero-density…

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…

In the present paper, we study large values of Dirichlet $L$- functions inside the critical strip. For every $1/2<\sigma<1$, we show that for $q$ sufficiently large, there exists a non-principal character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and a constant…

Finding the mean square averages of the Dirichlet $L$-functions over Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of same parity is an active problem in number theory. Here we explicitly evaluate such averages of $L(3,\chi)$ and $L(4,\chi)$ using certain…

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 article we study the value distribution theory for the first derivative of the logarithmic derivative of Dirichlet $L$-functions, generalizing certain results of Ihara, Matsumoto et. al. related to ``$M$-functions" for $\sigma = $…

This paper improves the upper bound for the exceptional zeroes of Dirichlet L-functions with even characters. The result is obtained by improving on explicit estimate for $L'(\sigma;\chi)$ for $\sigma$ close to unity, using a result on the…

In this paper, we estimate the proportion of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. Using Feng's mollifier and an asymptotic formula for the mean square of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we prove that averaged over primitive…

Let $d$ be a real number, let $s$ be in a fixed compact set of the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function. The hypothesis is that for any real number $d$ there exist 'many' real numbers $\tau$ such that the…

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.

Y\i ld\i r\i m has classified zeros of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions into trivial zeros, nontrivial zeros and vagrant zeros. In this paper we remove the possibility of vagrant zeros for $L'(s,\chi)$ when the conductors are…

We study wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions using analytic properties of the Lerch zeta function. Among other things we obtain an asymptotic expansion of wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions (with arbitrary twists) extending results…

Let $q\ge 2$ and $N\ge 1$ be integers. W. Zhang (2008) has shown that for any fixed $\epsilon> 0$, and $q^{\epsilon} \le N \le q^{1/2 -\epsilon}$, $$ \sum_{\chi \ne \chi_0} |\sum_{n=1}^N \chi(n)|^2 |L(1, \chi)|^2 = (1 + o(1)) \alpha_q q N…

Let L(E/Q,s) be the L-function of an elliptic curve E defined over the rational field Q. We examine the vanishing and non-vanishing of the central values L(E,1,\chi) of the twisted L-function as \chi ranges over Dirichlet characters of…

We study the expansions of the completed Riemann zeta function and completed Dirichlet L-functions in Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials. We give the proof of the uniform convergence, the multiplicative structure for the coefficients of these…

We introduce an infinite family of approximations for a Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s, \chi)$ arising from truncated Euler products. These approximations are entire functions and satisfy the same functional equation as $L(s, \chi)$. We…

We consider the joint value distribution of Dirichlet $L$-functions in the critical strip $\frac{1}{2} < \sigma < 1$. We show that the values of distinct Dirichlet $L$-functions are dependent in the sense that they do not behave like…

The study of linear independence of $L(k, \chi)$ for a fixed integer $k>1$ and varying $\chi$ depends critically on the parity of $k$ vis-\`a-vis $\chi$. This has been investigated by a number of authors for Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of a…

We study the $1$-level density and the pair correlation of zeros of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in function fields, as we average over the ensemble $\mathcal{H}_{2g+1}$ of monic, square-free polynomials with coefficients in…

Let $q$ be a prime, $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character $\bmod\ q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. For every odd prime $q\le 10^7$, we show that $L(1,\chi_\square) > c_{1} \log q$ and $\beta < 1-…
