In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the correlation of Hecke eigenvalues of GL2 automorphic forms with a class of functions of algebraic origin defined over finite fields called trace functions. The class of trace…

We give a method for producing explicit bounds on $g(p)$, the least primitive root modulo $p$. Using our method we show that $g(p)<2r\,2^{r\omega(p-1)}\,p^{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4r}}$ for $p>10^{56}$ where $r\geq 2$ is an integer parameter.…

We compute the second moment of a certain family of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions L(f x g, 1/2) where f and g are Hecke-Maass cusp forms on GL(n). Our bound is as strong as the Lindel\"of hypothesis on average, and recovers individually the…

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a piecewise-smooth, bounded convex domain in $\R^2$ and consider $L^2$-normalized Neumann eigenfunctions $\phi_{\lambda}$ with eigenvalue $\lambda^2$ and $u_{\lambda}:= \phi_{\lambda} |_{\partial \Omega}$ the associated…

Let $F$ be a Hecke-Maa\ss\ cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$. We obtain the first non-trivial upper bound of the second moment of $L(F,s)$ in $t$-aspect: $$\int_{T}^{2T}|L(F,1/2+it)|^2 dt\ll_{F,\varepsilon}…

In this paper we give a refinement of the bound of D. A. Burgess for multiplicative character sums modulo a prime number $q$. This continues a series of previous logarithmic improvements, which are mostly due to H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski.…

Let $\chi$ be a real primitive character to the modulus $D$. It is proved that $$ L(1,\chi)\gg (\log D)^{-2022} $$ where the implied constant is absolute and effectively computable. In the proof, the lower bound for $L(1,\chi)$ is first…

Let $M,N$ be coprime square-free integers. Let $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form of level $N$ and $g$ be either a holomorphic or a Maa{\ss} form with level $M$. Using a large sieve inequality, we establish a bound of the form…

Let f be a cusp form for SL(3, Z) associated with a generalized principal series representation of minimal weight d, spectral parameter r and associated L-function L(s, f). For $r \asymp d \asymp T$ the subconvexity bound $L(1/2, f) \ll…

In this paper, we will prove the non-trivial bound for the weighted average version of shifted convolution sum for $GL(3)\times GL(2)$, i.e. for any $\epsilon >0$ and $X^{1/4+\delta} \leq H \leq X$ with $\delta >0$, \[…

Let $P$ be a prime and $k$ be an even integer. Let $f$ be a full level holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ and $\rho$ be a primitive level $P$ holomorphic cusp form with arbitrary nebentypus and fixed weight $\kappa$. We prove a hybrid…

Let $F$ be a self-dual Hecke-Maa\ss\ form for ${\rm{GL}}(3)$ underlying the symmetric square lift of a ${\rm{GL}}(2)$-newform of square-free level and trivial nebentypus. In this paper, we are interested in the first moments of the central…

In this paper, we present a simple analytic proof of Siegel's theorem that concerns the lower bound of $L(1,\chi)$ for primitive quadratic $\chi$. Our new method compares an elementary lower bound with an analytic upper bound obtained by…

An explicit subconvex bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$ is proved. Previous subconvex bounds relied on an incorrect version of the Kusmin-Landau lemma. After accounting for the needed correction…

Fix an integer $\kappa\geqslant 2$. Let $P$ be prime and let $k> \kappa$ be an even integer. For $f$ a holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ and full level and $g$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight $2 \kappa$ and level $P$, we prove…

Let $$S(N) = \sum_{n \sim N}^{\text{smooth}} \, \lambda_{f}(n) \, \chi(n),$$ where $\lambda_{f}(n)$'s are Fourier coefficients of Hecke-eigen form, and $\chi$ is a primitive character of conductor $p^{r}$. In this article we prove a…

We prove an explicit version of Burgess' bound on character sums for composite moduli.

This paper proves Burgess bounds for short mixed character sums in multi-dimensional settings. The mixed character sums we consider involve both an exponential evaluated at a real-valued multivariate polynomial, and a product of…

We prove a lower bound of the correct order of magnitude in the conductor aspect for small rational moments of Drichlet $L$-functions. Such bounds require new techniques, which is visible from the relationship to non-vanishing results for…
