We compute the $L$-functions of a large class of algebraic curves, and verify the expected functional equation numerically. Our computations are based on our previous results on stable reduction to calculate the local $L$-factor and the…
We devise heuristics using multiple Dirichlet series to predict asymptotic formulas for shifted moments of (1) the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor $\leq Q$, with $Q$ a parameter tending to…
We obtain asymptotic formulas for the second and third moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions at the critical point, in the function field setting. We fix the ground field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and assume for simplicity that $q$ is a prime…
We investigate the low-lying zeros in families of $L$-functions attached to quadratic and cubic twists of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$. In particular, we present precise expressions for the expected values of traces of…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power, and $H_{d,q}$ denote the set of square-free monic polynomials $D(x) \in F_q[x]$ of degree $d$. Katz and Sarnak showed that the moments, over $H_{d,q}$, of the zeta functions associated to the curves…
In this paper we prove a relation between the period of an elliptic curve and the period of its real and imaginary quadratic twists. This relation is often misstated in the literature.
The moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields have recently attracted much attention with the work of Andrade and Keating. In this article, we establish lower bounds for the mean values of the product of quadratic…
Fix an elliptic curve $E/\Q$, and assume the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the $L$-function $ L(E_D, s) $ for every quadratic twist $E_D$ of $E$ by $D\in\Z$. We combine Weil's explicit formula with techniques of Heath-Brown to derive…
We study one-parameter families of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$, which are of the form $y^2=x^3+A(T)x+B(T)$, with non-constant $j$-invariant. We define the $r$\textsuperscript{th} moment of an elliptic curve to be $A_{r,E}(p) :=…
In this work, we study elliptic curves of the form $E_L: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-L)$, where $L^2-L+1 \in \left(\mathbb{Q}^{\times}\right)^2$ and $L \in \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{0,1\}$. We will show that for almost all quadratic extensions…
We make conjectures on the moments of the central values of the family of all elliptic curves and on the moments of the first derivative of the central values of a large family of positive rank curves. In both cases the order of magnitude…
We establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields. As an application, we prove some bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums over function fields.
We study asymptotically the twisted second moment of the family of modular $L$-functions to a fixed modulus. As an application, we establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ and sharp upper bounds for $k$ in the range $0 \leq k…
For positive rank $r$ elliptic curves $E(\mathbb{Q})$, we employ ideal class pairings $$ E(\mathbb{Q})\times E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CL}(-D), $$ for quadratic twists $E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q})$ with a suitable ``small $y$-height''…

Let $K=\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is a prime congruent to $3$ modulo $4$. Let $A=A(q)$ denote the Gross curve. Let $E=A^{(-\beta)}$ denote its quadratic twist, with $\beta=\sqrt{-q}$. The curve $E$ is defined over the Hilbert class field…
