Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we establish explicit bounds in the $q$-aspect for the logarithmic derivative $\left(L'/L\right)\left(\sigma,\chi\right)$ of Dirichlet $L$-functions, where $\chi$ is a primitive character modulo…
We use the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method to estimate short character sums to smooth moduli. If $\chi$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a squarefree, $q^\delta$-smooth integer $q$ we show that $$L(\frac12,\chi)\ll_\epsilon…
We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, and $L(s,\chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-functions corresponding to $\chi$. In this paper, we show some special function series, and give some new identities for the…
Let $\mathfrak{q}>2$ be a prime number, $\chi$ a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $\mathfrak{q}$ and $f$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form or a Hecke-Maass cusp form of level $\mathfrak{q}$ and trivial nebentypus. We prove the subconvex…
Let $\chi$ denote a primitive, non-quadratic Dirichlet character with conductor $q$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ denote its associated Dirichlet $L$-function. We show that $|L(1, \chi)| \geq 1/(9.12255 \log(q/\pi))$ for sufficiently large $q$, and…
We study the conjecture that $\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $\chi \pmod q$ with $x\geq q^\epsilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,\chi)$. We show that it holds under…
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…
We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a real, non-principal character modulo $q$. Using Pintz's refinement of Page's theorem, we prove that for $q\geq 3$ the function $L(s, \chi)$ has at most one real zero $\beta$…
We prove a subconvexity bound for the central value L(1/2, chi) of a Dirichlet L-function of a character chi to a prime power modulus q=p^n of the form L(1/2, chi)\ll p^r * q^(theta+epsilon) with a fixed r and theta\approx 0.1645 < 1/6,…
We give an explicit upper bound for non-principal Dirichlet $L$-functions on the line $s=1+it$. This result can be applied to improve the error in the zero-counting formulae for these functions.
Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character whose conductor $q$ is a prime number. For the certain averages of values of $\log |L(s, \chi)|$ in $q$-aspect at a fixed $s=\sigma>1/2$, under Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we explain…
The aim of this paper is to improve the upper bound for the exceptional zeroes $\beta_0$ of Dirichlet $L$-functions. We do this by improving on explicit estimate for $L'(\sigma, \chi)$ for $\sigma$ close to unity.
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 give explicit upper and lower bounds for $N(T,\chi)$, the number of zeros of a Dirichlet $L$-function with character $\chi$ and height at most $T$. Suppose that $\chi$ has conductor $q>1$, and that $T\geq 5/7$. If…
Let $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form, and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$, which we assume to be prime. In this note we revisit the subconvexity problem addressed in `The circle method and bounds…
Burgess proved that for $\chi_q$ a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ with $q$ cubefree, $\Big|\sum_{M< n\le M+N}\chi_q(n)\Big| \ll N^{1-\frac{1}{r}}q^{\frac{r+1}{4r^2}+\epsilon}$ for all integers $r\ge1.$ More recently, explicit…
