In this paper, we prove the simultaneous non-vanishing of four Dirichlet $L$-functions at any point on the critical line. More precisely, let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_4$ be even Dirichlet characters modulo $D_1,\ldots, D_4$ respectively, where…

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…

Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. Let us use $\mathcal{L}(s,\chi)$ to denote its logarithmic derivative $L'(s, \chi)/L(s, \chi)$. We first prove some arithmetic…

Let $\chi$ a primitive character$\pmod q$ and consider the Dirichlet $L$-function $$L(s,\chi)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}.$$ We give a new proof of an upper bound of Heath-Brown for $|L(s,\chi)|$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$

We prove several results on the distribution function of $\zeta(1+it)$ in the complex plane, that is the joint distribution function of $\arg\zeta(1+it)$ and $|\zeta(1+it)|$. Similar results are also given for $L(1,\chi)$ (as $\chi$ varies…

In this paper we investigate the distribution of values of L(1,chi) as chi ranges over primitive real characters. In particular we focus on the extent to which this distribution may be approximated by "random Euler products." Our work also…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet L-function associated to $\chi$. Using a new two-piece mollifier we show that $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)\ne0$ for at least 34% of the characters in the…

Based on an equivalence relation that was established recently on exponential sums, in this paper we study the class of functions that are equivalent to the Riemann zeta function in the half-strip $\{s\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Re}s>1\}$.…

We have done a statistical analysis of some properties of the contour lines Im$(\zeta (s))$ = 0 of the Riemann zeta function. We find that this function is broken up into strips whose average width on the critical line does not appear to…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper and lower bounds with explicit main terms for $\log{\left|\cL(s)\right|}$ for $\sigma \in (1/2,1)$ and for functions in the Selberg class. In particular, we focus on the…

Let $q=p^r$ be a power of an odd prime $p$. We study binary sequences $\sigma=(\sigma_0,\sigma_1,\ldots)$ with entries in $\{0,1\}$ defined by using the quadratic character $\chi$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$: $$ \sigma_n=\left\{…

We improve on previous upper bounds for the $q$th norm of the partial sums of the Riemann zeta function on the half line when $0<q\leqslant 1$. In particular, we show that the 1-norm is bounded above by $(\log N)^{1/4}(\log\log N)^{1/4}$.

Let $I = (i_1, \dots, i_k)$ and $J = (j_1, \dots, j_k)$ be two length $k$ sequences drawn from $\{1, \dots, n \}$. We have the group algebra element $[I,J] := \sum_{w(I) = J} w \in \mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{S}_n]$ where the sum is over…

Let $f$ be a fixed (holomorphic or Maass) modular cusp form. Let $\cq$ be a Dirichlet character mod $q$. We describe a fast algorithm that computes the value $L(1/2,f\times\chi_q)$ up to any specified precision. In the case when $q$ is…

In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove a new Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\delta})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is the…

In the present note, we prove new lower bounds on large values of character sums $\Delta(x,q):=\max_{\chi \neq \chi_0} \vert \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\vert$ in certain ranges of $x$. Employing an implementation of the resonance method…
