We establish an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for the twisted mixed moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions and automorphic $L$-functions twisted by all primitive characters modulo $q$, valid for all admissible moduli. As a…

The problem of finding upper bounds for L-functions at the edge of the critical strip has a long and interesting history. Here, the situation for classical L-functions such as Dirichlet L-functions is relatively well understood. The reason…

For each integer $\ell \geq 1$, we prove an unconditional upper bound on the size of the $\ell$-torsion subgroup of the class group, which holds for all but a zero-density set of field extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, for any fixed…

Let $\chi_D$ be the Dirichlet character associated to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ where $D < 0$ is a fundamental discriminant. Improving Granville-Stark [DOI:10.1007/s002229900036], we show that \[ \frac{L'}{L}(1,\chi_D) = \frac{1}{6}\,…

For any large prime $q$, $1 \leq x \leq q$ and any real $0 \leq k \leq 1$, we prove an upper bound for the following $2k$-th moment $$\displaystyle \sum_{\substack{\chi \bmod q}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k},$$ where…

We study the conditional upper bounds and extreme values of derivatives of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet $L$-functions near the 1-line. Let $\ell$ be a fixed natural number. We show that, if $|\sigma-1|\ll1/\log_2t$, then…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…
