Let $\mathcal L^+$ be the set of all primes $p$ for which the sums of $\left(\frac{n}{p}\right)$ over the interval $[1,N]$ are non-negative for all $N$. We prove that the estimate \[ |\mathcal L^+\cap [1,x]|\ll \frac{x}{\ln x(\ln\ln…

Let $\chi$ denote a primitive, non-quadratic Dirichlet character with conductor $q$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ denote its associated Dirichlet $L$-function. We show that $|L(1, \chi)| \geq 1/(9.12255 \log(q/\pi))$ for sufficiently large $q$, and…

We show that for at least 3/8 of the primitive Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of large prime modulus, the central value $L(1/2,\chi)$ does not vanish.

Our main result is to answer a question of Michel Balazard by giving a Dirichlet series with only one zero in its half-plane of convergence. At the end of the paper we also give several sufficient conditions for the Generalized Riemann…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $q$ and $L(z,\chi)$ the associated L-series. In this paper we provide an explicit upper bound for $|L(1, \chi)|$ when 3 divides $q$.

Let $<\P > \subset \N$ be a multiplicative subsemigroup of the natural numbers $\N = \{1,2,3,...\}$ generated by an arbitrary set $\P$ of primes (finite or infinite). We given an elementary proof that the partial sums $\sum_{n \in < \P >: n…

We study $H^p$ spaces of Dirichlet series, called $\mathcal{H}^p$, for the range $0<p< \infty$. We begin by showing that two natural ways to define $\mathcal{H}^p$ coincide. We then proceed to study some linear space properties of…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \sigma(n)$ be the sum of divisors function. This note presents the first proof of the asymptotic formula for the average order $ \sum_{p\leq…

Let $\chi$ be a real primitive character to the modulus $D$. It is proved that $$ L(1,\chi)\gg (\log D)^{-2022} $$ where the implied constant is absolute and effectively computable. In the proof, the lower bound for $L(1,\chi)$ is first…

We prove that for any prime number $p\ge 3$, there exists a positive number $\kappa_p$ such that $\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)\ge \kappa_pc_1^2$ holds true for all algebraic surfaces $X$ of general type in characteristic $p$. In particular,…

We look at the values of two Dirichlet $L$-functions at the Riemann zeros (or a horizontal shift of them). Off the critical line we show that for a positive proportion of these points the pairs of values of the two $L$-functions are…

For any periodic function $f:{\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb C}$ with period $q$, we study the Dirichlet series $L(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)/n^s.$ It is well-known that this admits an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane except at…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis and a bound for the negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function (resp. Dirichlet $L$-functions), we prove the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the normalized partial…

We show that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, prime $q$ sufficiently large with respect to $1 / \varepsilon$ and residue class $(a,q) = 1$, there exist two integers $m, n \leq q^{5/2 + \varepsilon}$ with $m \equiv n \equiv a \pmod{q}$ such that…

First we reprove, using representation theory and the relative trace formula of Jacquet, an average value result of Duke for modular L-series at the critical center. We also establish a refinement. To be precise, the L-value which appears…

This paper investigates lower bounds on the number of zeros and poles of a general Dirichlet series in a disk of radius $r$ and gives, as a consequence, an affirmative answer to an open problem of Bombieri and Perelli on the bound.…

An explicit formula for the quadratic mean value at $s=1$ of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with the odd Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ is known. Here we present a situation where we could prove an explicit formula for the…

Let $r, \,m$ be positive integers. Let $x$ be a rational number with $0 \le x <1$. Consider $\Phi_s(x,z) =\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^{k+1}}{{(k+x+1)}^s}$ the $s$-th Lerch function with $s=1, 2, \cdots, r$. When $x=0$, this is a…

The aim of this work is to illustrate a conditional result involving the exponential sums over primes in short intervals under the assumption that both the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Density Hypothesis for Dirichlet…

Let $d$ be a real number, let $s$ be in a fixed compact set of the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function. The hypothesis is that for any real number $d$ there exist 'many' real numbers $\tau$ such that the…
