In this paper, we study the mean value distributions of Dirichlet $L$-functions at positive integers. We give some explicit formulas for the mean values of products of two and three Dirichlet $L$-functions at positive integers weighted by…
The main purpose of this paper is to establish bounds on the second moment of $L\big(\tfrac{1}{2}+it,\chi\big)$, averaged over families of fixed order characters. A discrete version of the main result is also stated, from which zero-density…
For Dirichlet characters $\chi$ mod $k$ where $k\geq 3$, we here give a computable formula for evaluating the mean square sums $\sum\limits_{\substack{\chi \text{ mod }k\\\chi(-1)=(-1)^r}}|L(r,\chi)|^2$ for any positive integer $r\geq 3$.…
We initiate the study of certain families of $L$-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values…
Generalizing our previous work on ``toroidal averages'', we study the average of special values of $L$-functions of the form $L(1/2,\chi^a)L(1/2,\chi^b)L(1/2,\chi^c)$ for integers $a$, $b$ and $c$, where $\chi$ varies over Dirichlet…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…

We study the 2k-th power moment of Dirichlet L-functions L(s,\chi) at the centre of the critical strip (s=1/2), where the average is over all primitive characters \chi (mod q). We extend to this case the hybrid Euler-Hadamard product…
Let $m\ge 1$ be a rational integer. We give an explicit formula for the mean value $$\frac{2}{\phi(f)}\sum_{\chi (-1)=(-1)^m}\vert L(m,\chi )\vert^2,$$ where $\chi$ ranges over the $\phi (f)/2$ Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ with the…
In this series, we investigate the calculation of mean values of derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions in function fields using the analogue of the approximate functional equation and the Riemann Hypothesis for curves over finite fields.…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the first moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over function fields at the central point $s=\tfrac{1}{2}$. Specifically, we compute the expected value of $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)$ for an ensemble of…
In this work, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the twisted mean square of a Dirichlet $L$-function with a longer mollifier, whose coefficients are also more general than before. As an application we obtain that, for every Dirichlet…
This paper improves the upper bound for the exceptional zeroes of Dirichlet L-functions with even characters. The result is obtained by improving on explicit estimate for $L'(\sigma;\chi)$ for $\sigma$ close to unity, using a result on the…

Recently, the two variable $q$-$L$-functions which interpolate the generalized $q$-Bernoulli polynomials associated with $\chi$ are introduced and studied, cf. [2]. In this paper, we construct multiple Dirichlet's $q$-$L$-function which…
We explicitly evaluate a special type of multiple Dirichlet $L$-values at positive integers in two different ways: One approach involves using symmetric functions, while the other involves using a generating function of the values. Equating…
We prove that, for arbitrary Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s;\chi_1),\ldots,L(s;\chi_n)$ (including the case when $\chi_j$ is equivalent to $\chi_l$ for $j\ne k$), suitable shifts of type $L(s+i\alpha_jt^{a_j}\log^{b_j}t;\chi_j)$ can…
The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over the rational function field at the central point $s=\tfrac{1}{2}$ where the character $\chi$ is defined by the Legendre symbol for…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the mean-square average of $L$- functions associated to subgroups of characters of sufficiently large size. Our proof relies on the study of certain character sums ${\cal A}(p,d)$ recently introduced by E.…
In this paper, we study some typical arithmetic properties of Euler's totient function of polynomials over finite fields. Especially, we study polynomial analogues of some classical conjectures about Euler's totient function, such as…
