In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula for the twisted second moment of $L$-functions associated with Hecke--Maass cusp forms for $\rm SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, and further deduce a weighted zero-density estimate for these $L$-functions…
In this paper, we prove that if the Fourier coefficients of a $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke--Maa\ss\ cusp form $\pi$ are not too correlated with additive characters, then there exists infinitely many Dirichlet characters such that…
Let $\lambda(n)$ be the Liouville function. We study the distribution of \[ \frac{1}{x^{1/2}}\sum_{x\leq n\leq 2x}\lambda(f(n)) \] over random polynomials $f$ of fixed degree $d$ and coefficients bounded in magnitude by $H$. In particular…

We investigate the mean value of the first moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi\ primitive\ cubic\\…
Let $q$ be a positive integer ($\geq 2$), $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, $L(s, \chi)$ be the attached Dirichlet $L$-function, and let $L^\prime(s, \chi)$ denote its derivative with respect to the complex variable $s$. Let $t_0$…
We prove that given a Hecke-Maass form $f$ for $\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$ and a sufficiently large prime $q$, there exists a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ of conductor $q$ such that the $L$-values $L(\tfrac{1}{2}, f \otimes \chi)$…
We consider moments of higher powers of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. In a restricted region, we give their asymptotic behavior by using de la Bret\`{e}che's multivariable Tauberian theorem. We also give the lower bound of the…
In this paper, we study the value distribution of the derivative of a Dirichlet $L$-function $L'(s,\chi)$ at the $a$-points $\rho_{a,\chi}=\beta_{a,\chi}+i\gamma_{a,\chi}$ of $L(s,\chi).$ We give an asymptotic formula for the sum…
We investigate various mean value problems involving order three primitive Dirichlet characters. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the first moment of central values of the Dirichlet L-functions associated to this family,…
We prove a result on the large deviations of the central values of even primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with a given modulus. For $V\sim \alpha\log\log q$ with $0<\alpha<1$, we show that \begin{equation}\nonumber\frac{1}{\varphi(q)} \#…
We compute moments of $L$-functions associated to the polynomial family of Artin--Schreier covers over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p>2$, when the size of the finite field is fixed and the genus of the family goes to…
Let K be a number field containing the n-th roots of unity for some n > 2. We prove a uniform subconvexity result for a family of double Dirichlet series built out of central values of Hecke L-functions of n-th order characters of K. The…
We prove an asymptotic formula with a power saving error term for the (pure or mixed) second moment of central values of L-functions of any two (possibly equal) fixed cusp forms f, g twisted by all primitive characters modulo q, valid for…
We prove Motohashi's formula for a mixed second moment of the Riemann zeta function and a Dirichlet $L$-function attached to a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q \in \mathbb{N}$. If $q$ is an odd prime, our reciprocity formula is…
The $\theta=\infty$ conjecture asserts that the mollified second moments of the Riemann zeta function remain bounded for mollifiers of arbitrary polynomial length. We investigate an analogue of this conjecture for automorphic $L$-functions…
Given a large, square-free, smooth conductor, we establish the non-vanishing of the central values for at least $35.9\%$ of the primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions.
We study the $2k$-th moment of the family of twisted modular $L$-functions to a fixed prime power modulus at the central values. We establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ and sharp upper bounds for $k$ in the range $0 \leq k…
We prove an asymptotic for the second moment of quadratic twists of a modular $L$-function. This was previously known conditionally on GRH by the work of Soundararajan and Young.
We propose a new heuristic approach to integral moments of L-functions over function fields, which we demonstrate in the case of Dirichlet characters ramified at one place (the function field analogue of the moments of the Riemann zeta…
