Katz showed that the L-functions of all Dirichlet characters of F_q(t), with conductor a fixed power of a degree one prime, are equidistributed in the limit as q goes to infinity. We generalize this statement to the L-functions of twists of…

We present a simple analytic proof that L-functions of real non-principal Dirichlet characters are nonzero at 1.

We introduce a family of L-series specialising to both L-series associated to certain Dirichlet characters over F_q[T] and to integral values of Carlitz-Goss zeta function associated to F_q[T]. We prove, with the use of the theory of…

We generalize and unify the proofs of several results on algebraic in- dependence of arithmetic functions and Dirichlet series by a theorem of Ax on differential Schanuel conjecture. Along the way, we find counter-examples to some results…

We consider a nonlinear parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the $p$-Laplace differential operator and a reaction which has the competing effects of a parametric singular term and of a Carath\'eodory perturbation which is ($p-1$)-linear…

Given $k\in\mathbb N$, we study the vanishing of the Dirichlet series $$D_k(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq1} d_k(n)f(n)n^{-s}$$ at the point $s=1$, where $f$ is a periodic function modulo a prime $p$. We show that if $(k,p-1)=1$ or $(k,p-1)=2$ and…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize our earlier work on the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function to linear combinations of logarithms of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with constant real coefficients. Under the assumption of…

In this paper, we give Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients that have Riemann's functional equation and real zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. The details are as follows. Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function and $G(\chi)$ be…

Let $\{\lambda_f(n)\}_{n \geq 1}$ be the normalized Hecke eigenvalues of a given holomorphic cusp form $f$ of even weight $k$. We show under the assumption of the existence of Littlewood's type zero free region for $L(s, f, \chi)$, where…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation for $GL_m({\Bbb A}_{\Bbb Q})$, and let $L(s, \pi)$ be the automorphic $L$-function attached to $\pi$, which has a Dirichlet series expression in the half-plane $\mbox{Re} s>1$.…

Our objective in the present work is to develop a fairly complete arithmetic theory of critical $p$-adic $L$-functions on the eigencurve. To this end, we carry out the following tasks: a) We give an "\'etale" construction of Bella\"iche's…

Let pi be an automorphic representation on GL(r, A_Q) for r=1, 2, or 3. Let d be a fundamental discriminant and chi_d the corresponding quadratic Dirichlet character. We consider the question of the least d, relative to the data (level,…

Let $E$ be a rational elliptic curve and let $p$ be an odd prime of additive reduction. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and fix a positive integer $c$ prime to the conductor of $E$. The main goal of the present article is to define…

We consider the multiple Dirichlet series associated to the $k$th moment of real Dirichlet $L$-functions, and prove that it has a meromorphic continuation to a specific region in $\mathbb{C}^{k+1}$, which is conditional under the…

Let G be a p-solvable group, P a p-subgroup and chi in Irr(G) such that chi(1)_p \ge |G:P|_p. We prove that the restriction chi_P is a sum of characters induced from subgroups Q\le P such that chi(1)_p=|G:Q|_p. This generalizes previous…

We define a p-adic character to be a continuous homomorphism from 1 + t\Fq[[t]] to \Zp^*. We use the ring of big Witt vectors over Fq to exhibit a bijection between p-adic characters and sequences (c_i) of elements in Zq, indexed by natural…

For $\chi_k$ a self$-$dual primitive Dirichlet character mod $k$ several reduced identities of Dirichlet $L-$functions $L_k(s):=L(s,\chi_k)$, expressed as linear combinations of Hurwitz $\zeta$ functions, are found for $s=2,3$ and some…

Shidlovskii has given a linear independence measure of values of $E$-functions with rational Taylor coefficients at a rational point, not a singularity of the underlying differential system satisfied by these $E$-functions. Recently,…
