We prove that all the zeros of certain meromorphic functions are on the critical line $\text{Re}(s)=1/2$, and are simple (except possibly when $s=1/2$). We prove this by relating the zeros to the discrete spectrum of an unbounded…

Let $M$ be a squarefree positive integer and $P$ a prime number coprime to $M$ such that $P\sim M^\eta$ with $0 < \eta < 2/5$. We simplify the proof of subconvexity bounds for $L(\frac{1}{2},f\otimes\chi)$ when $f$ is a primitive…

We prove an analogue of Selberg's zero density estimate for $\zeta(s)$ that holds for any $\mathrm{GL}_2$ $L$-function. We use this estimate to study the distribution of the vector of fractional parts of $\gamma\mathbf{\alpha}$, where…

Let $L(s,f)$ be an $L$-function associated to a primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp form $f$ on GL(2) over $\mathbb{Q}$. Combining mean-value estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan with a method of Ramachandra, we prove a formula for the…

We investigate the zero-forcing number for triangle-free graphs. We improve upon the trivial bound, $\delta \le Z(G)$ where $\delta$ is the minimum degree, in the triangle-free case. In particular, we show that $2 \delta - 2 \le Z(G)$ for…

We prove the following statement about any Siegel modular form $F$ of degree $n$ and arbitrary odd level $N$ on the group $\Gamma_{0}^{(n)}(N)$. Let $A(F,T)$ denote the Fourier coefficients of $F$ and write $T=(T(i,j))$. Suppose that $F$…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$. Let $F(s)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)n^{-s}$ be the associated Dirichlet series and $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ be the truncated Dirichlet…

For a wide class of Dirichlet series associated to automorphic forms, we show that those without Euler products must have zeros within the region of absolute convergence. For instance, we prove that if f is a classical holomorphic modular…

We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…

In this paper, we prove uniform bounds for $\rm GL (3)\times GL(2)$ $L$-functions in the $\rm GL(2)$ spectral aspect and the $t$ aspect by a delta method. More precisely, let $\phi$ be a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\rm SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and…

We investigate the large weight (k --> oo) limiting statistics for the low lying zeros of a GL(4) and a GL(6) family of L-functions, {L(s,phi x f): f in H_k(1)} and {L(s,phi times sym^2 f): f in H_k(1)}; here phi is a fixed even Hecke-Maass…

Let $\mathfrak{F}_n$ be the set of all cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ with unitary central character over a number field $F$. We prove the first unconditional zero density estimate for the set…

In this paper, we estimate the proportion of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. Using Feng's mollifier and an asymptotic formula for the mean square of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we prove that averaged over primitive…

Let $M,N$ be coprime square-free integers. Let $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form of level $N$ and $g$ be either a holomorphic or a Maa{\ss} form with level $M$. Using a large sieve inequality, we establish a bound of the form…

We prove Hypothesis H in full generality for ${\rm GL}_n$ over any number field. This result is a consequence of our stronger effective bound on Euler products involving Rankin--Selberg coefficients at prime ideal powers. The proof rests on…

Let $f$ and $g$ be weakly holomorphic modular functions on $\Gamma_0(N)$ with the trivial character. For an integer $d$, let $\Tr_d(f)$ denote the modular trace of $f$ of index $d$. Let $r$ be a rational number equivalent to $i\infty$ under…

Let $p$ be a prime. Let $f$ be a holomorphic modular form of level $p$ with trivial nebentypus. We prove the bound $L\left(\text{sym}^2f, \frac{1}{2} + it\right) \ll_{f,\epsilon} p^{1/2+\epsilon}t^{3/4-1/12 + \epsilon}$. This bound is…

We give universal bounds on the fraction of nontrivial zeros having given multiplicity for L-functions attached to a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_m/\mathbb{Q}$. For this, we apply the higher-level correlation…

We introduce multiple versions of L-functions for Witten zeta functions. We study their algebraic and analytic properties. Especially we investigate the existence of zeros at negative integers. These results strongly suggest the universal…
