We prove that more than nine percent of the central values $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi_p)$ are non-zero, where $p\equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ ranges over primes and $\chi_p$ is the real primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $p$. Previously, it was not…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a real, non-principal character modulo $q$. Using Pintz's refinement of Page's theorem, we prove that for $q\geq 3$ the function $L(s, \chi)$ has at most one real zero $\beta$…

We prove a result on the large deviations of the central values of even primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with a given modulus. For $V\sim \alpha\log\log q$ with $0<\alpha<1$, we show that \begin{equation}\nonumber\frac{1}{\varphi(q)} \#…

Let $S(\sigma,t)=\frac{1}{\pi}\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\sigma+it$ in the critical strip. For $n\geq 1$ and $t>0$, we define \begin{equation*} S_{n}(\sigma,t) = \int_0^t…

The class of Dirichlet series associated with a periodic arithmetical function $f$ includes the Riemann zeta-function as well as Dirichlet $L$-functions to residue class characters. We study the value-distribution of these Dirichlet series…

The finite Dirichlet series from the title are defined by the condition that they vanish at as many initial zeroes of the zeta function as possible. It turned out that such series can produce extremely good approximations to the values of…

We give explicit upper and lower bounds for $N(T,\chi)$, the number of zeros of a Dirichlet $L$-function with character $\chi$ and height at most $T$. Suppose that $\chi$ has conductor $q>1$, and that $T\geq 5/7$. If…

It is shown that any number of distinct primitive $\mathrm{GL}(1)$ and $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ $L$-functions can simultaneously attain large values on the critical line. This is an unconditional improvement of a general result due to Heap and Li…

This text shows the existence of large (3.54 times the average) gaps between consecutive zeros, on the critical line, of some Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s,\chi),$ with $\chi$ being an even primitive Dirichlet character.

We investigate the distribution of large values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the strip $1/2<\re s<1$. For any fixed $\re s=\sigma\in(1/2,1)$, we obtain an improved distribution function of large values of $|\zeta(\sigma+\i…

In this manuscript, we show that the Riemann zeta function satisfies $\big(\zeta(s),\zeta(1-\overline{s})\big)\neq(0,0)$ for any $s$ in the critical strip, except on the critical line. This still holds even when the fractional part function…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…

We study the conjecture that $\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $\chi \pmod q$ with $x\geq q^\epsilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,\chi)$. We show that it holds under…
