We develop certain aspects of the theory of shifted multiple Dirichlet series and study their meromorphic continuations. These continuations are used to obtain explicit spectral first and second moments of Rankin-Selberg convolutions. One…

In 1963, Rapha\"el Salem concluded his highly influential book ``Algebraic Numbers and Fourier Analysis'' with a list of four unsolved problems. The first two problems remain wide open while the last problem on the absolute continuity of…

In this article, we study the second moment of cubic Dirichlet L-functions at the central point $s=1/2$ over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$, where $q$ is a power of an odd prime satisfying $q \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$. Our result…

We extend the axiomatization for detecting and quantifying sign changes of Meher and Murty to sequences of complex numbers. We further generalize this result when the sequence is comprised of the coefficients of an $L$-function. As…

We study the function $\Delta_k(x):=\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n) - \mbox{Res}_{s=1} ( \zeta^k(s) x^s/s )$, where $k\geq 3$ is an integer, $d_k(n)$ is the $k$-fold divisor function, and $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. For a large parameter…

We consider a new integral representation for $L(s_1, \Pi \times \tau_1) L(s_2, \Pi \times \tau_2),$ where $\Pi$ is a globally generic cuspidal representation of $GSp_4,$ and $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ are two cuspidal representations of $GL_2$…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…

Let $\pi$ be a simple supercuspidal representation of the quasi-split unramified even unitary group with respect to an unramified quadratic extension $E/F$ of $p$-adic fields. We compute the Rankin-Selberg gamma factor for rank-$1$ twists…

We prove a non-vanishing result for families of $\GL_n\times\GL_n$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the critical strip, as one factor runs over twists by Hecke characters. As an application, we simplify the proof, due to Luo, Rudnick, and…

We refine and extend previous constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions for Rankin-Selberg convolutions on $\GL(n)\times\GL(n-1)$ for regular algebraic representations over totally real fields. We also prove an intrinsic functional equation…

We give a new expression for the inner product of two kernel functions associated to a cusp form. Among other applications, it yields an extension of a formula of Kohnen and Zagier, and another proof of Manin's Periods Theorem. Cohen's…

In this note we study the error term R_{n,L}(x) in the generalized circle problem for a ball of volume x and a random lattice L of large dimension n. Our main result is the following functional central limit theorem: Fix an arbitrary…

We study the low lying zeros of $GL(2) \times GL(2)$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we compute the $1$-level density of the low-lying zeroes of $L(s, f \otimes g)$ averaged over families of…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k>1$. In these notes, we follow Munshi to prove the Burgess bound $$ L(1/2+it,f)\ll_{f,\varepsilon} (1+|t|)^{1/2-1/8+\varepsilon}. $$

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field with residue field of cardinality $q$. To each irreducible representation of $GL(n,F)$, we attach a local Euler factor $L^{BF}(q^{-s},q^{-t},\pi)$ via the Rankin-Selberg method, and show that it is equal to the…

Let $F$ be a Siegel cusp form of degree 2, even weight $k \geq 2$ and odd squarefree level $N$. We undertake a detailed study of the analytic properties of Fourier coefficients $a(F,S)$ of $F$ at fundamental matrices $S$ (i.e., with $-4…

Let $\pi$ and $\pi'$ be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(n)$ and $\mathrm{GL}(n')$ with unitary central characters. We establish a new zero-free region for all $\mathrm{GL}(1)$-twists of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function…

We study the second moment of the L-function associated to a holomorphic primitive cusp form of even weight perturbed by a new family of mollifiers. This family is a natural extension of the mollifers considered by Conrey and by Bui, Conrey…

We determine local test vectors for Waldspurger functionals for GL(2), in the case where both the representation of GL(2) and the character of the degree two extension are ramified, with certain restrictions. We use this to obtain an…
