In this paper we investigate the moments and the distribution of $L(1,\chi_D)$, where $\chi_D$ varies over quadratic characters associated to square-free polynomials $D$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, as $n\to\infty$. Our first result…
We report on some extensive computations and experiments concerning the moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at the critical point. We computed the values of $L(1/2,\chi_d)$ for $- 5\times 10^{10} < d < 1.3 \times 10^{10}$ in order…
