We consider negative moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over function fields. Summing over monic square-free polynomials of degree $2g+1$ in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the $k^{\text{th}}$ shifted…
Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that given any two distinct imprimitive Dirichlet characters $\eta_1, \eta_2$ modulo $q=p^k$, a positive proportion of characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ in a fixed Galois orbit of primitive…
We compute the expected value of Dirichlet $L$-functions defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ attached to cubic characters evaluated at an arbitrary $s \in (0,1)$. We find a transition term at the point $s=\frac{1}{3}$, reminiscent of the…
For each nonprincipal Dirichlet character $\chi$, let $n_\chi$ be the least $n$ with $\chi(n) \notin \{0,1\}$. We show that as the average of $n_\chi$ over all nonprincipal characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ is $\ell(q) + o(1)$, where $\ell(q)$…
Let $\omega$ be a primitive cubic root of unity. We study the non-vanishing problem for the family of Hecke $L$-functions associated to primitive cubic characters defined over the Eisenstein quadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$. We…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$, over all moduli $q\leq Q$ and with a short average on the critical line. Previously the same result was…
We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) that there is a positive density of $L$-functions associated with primitive cubic Dirichlet characters over the Eisenstein field that do not vanish at the central point $s=1/2$.…
We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the number of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ of discriminant $d<x$ whose class number is $\ll \sqrt{d}(\log{d})^{-2}(\log\log{d})^{-1}$ is at least $x^{1/2-\varepsilon}$ for $x$ large…
We establish asymptotic formulae for the first and second moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions, at the centre of the critical strip, associated to the real quadratic function field $k(\sqrt{P})$ and inert imaginary quadratic…
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 $\mbox{Re} s>1$.…
We prove a lower bound of the correct order of magnitude in the conductor aspect for small rational moments of Drichlet $L$-functions. Such bounds require new techniques, which is visible from the relationship to non-vanishing results for…
We prove special cases of the Ratios Conjecture for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over function fields. More specifically, we study the average of $L(1/2+\alpha,\chi_D)/L(1/2+\beta,\chi_D)$, when $D$ varies over monic,…
In this paper we prove a lower bound result for extremely large values of $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi_p)$ with prime numbers $p\equiv 1\pmod 8$.
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show using the asymptotic large sieve that 91% of the zeros of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions are simple. This improves on earlier work of \"{O}zl\"{u}k which gives a proportion of at…
Let $\chi$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,\chi )}{L(s,\chi)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be…
The main question of this paper is the following: how much cancellation can the partial sums restricted to the $k$-free integers up to $x$ of a $\pm 1$ multiplicative function $f$ be in terms of $x$? Building upon the recent paper by Q.…
In this paper we address the problem of computing asymptotic formulae for the expected values and second moments of central values of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1/2,\chi_{8d}\otimes\psi)$ when $\psi$ is a fixed even primitive…
In a recent paper with Sprang and Zudilin, the following result was proved: if $a$ is large enough in terms of $\varepsilon>0$, then at least $2^{(1-\varepsilon)\frac{\log a}{\log \log a}}$ values of the Riemann zeta function at odd…
Let $F$ be a real quadratic number field with discriminant $D$ and $\mathcal{O}_F$ the ring of integers in $F$. Let $\chi_F$ be the Dirichlet character associated to $F/\mathbb{Q}$. Write $L(\chi_F,s)$ for the Dirichlet L-function of…
The existence of non trivial zeros off the critical line for a function obtained by analytic continuation of a particular Dirichlet series is studied. Contrary to what has been presumed for a long time, we prove that such zeros cannot…
