We show a non-vanishing result for the averages of the derivatives of $L$-functions associated with the orthogonal basis of the space of vector-valued cusp forms of weight $k\in \frac12 \mathbb{Z}$ on the full group in the critical strip.…

In 1919, P. A. MacMahon studied generating functions for generalized divisor sums. In this paper, we provide a framework in which to view these generating functions in terms of Jacobi forms, and prove that they are quasi-modular forms.

Let $L(s,f)$ be an $L$-function associated to a primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp form $f$ on GL(2) over $\mathbb{Q}$. Combining mean-value estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan with a method of Ramachandra, we prove a formula for the…

Motivated by Sato and Mori's work on the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the modified KdV equation, Mizukawa, Nakajima, and Yamada made a conjecture on 2-reduced Schur functions and Schur's Q-functions. The conjecture claims that…

The moments of central values of families of L-functions have recently attracted much attention and, with the work of Keating and Snaith, there are now precise conjectures for their limiting values. We develop a simple method to establish…

When it comes to partial numerical verification of the Riemann Hypothesis, one crucial part is to verify the completeness of a list of pre-computed zeros. Turing developed such a method, based on an explicit version of a theorem of…

In this paper, we prove some zero density theorems for certain families of Dirichlet $L$-functions. More specifically, the subjects of our interest are the collections of Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with characters to moduli from…

We give a conditional lower bound on the number of non-trivial simple zeros for the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_{K}(s)$, where $K$ is a quadratic number field. The conditional result is given by assuming a Lindel\"of on average (in the…

We introduce a new method that uses AAA approximation to reliably compute all the zeros of a holomorphic function in a specified search region in the complex plane. Specifically, the method is based on rational approximation of the…

Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…

In this paper, a new estimate is obtained for the multinomial Mittag-Leffler function. This function was introduced by Yuri Luchko and Rudolfo Gorenflo as the fundamental solution of the ordinary differential equation of fractional discrete…

We present theoretical and numerical evidence for a random matrix theoretic approach to a conjecture about vanishings of quadratic twists of certain L-functions

We consider sums of the form $\sum \phi(\gamma)$, where $\phi$ is a given function, and $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in a given interval. We show how the numerical estimation of such…

The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these…

We highlight modular equations discovered by Somos and Ramanujan, and use them to prove new relations between lattice sums and hypergeometric functions. We also discuss progress towards solving Boyd's Mahler measure conjectures, and we…

We present an algorithm to compute values L(s) and derivatives of L-functions of motivic origin numerically to required accuracy. Specifically, the method applies to any L-series whose Gamma-factor is a product of any number of…

We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…

We provide a new simple and transparent proof of the version of Kummer's test given in [Tong, J. (1994). Amer. Math. Monthly. 101(5): 450--452]. Our proof is based on an application of a Hardy--Littlewood Tauberian theorem.

We prove that the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with Dirichlet characters in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ are universal. That is, given a modulus of high enough degree, $L$-functions with characters to this modulus can be found that approximate…
