Let $P,M$ be a two primes such that $(P,M)=1$. Let $\Pi$ be a normalized Hecke-Maa\ss\ form on ${\rm{GL}}(4)$ of level $P$, and $\chi$ a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$. In this paper, we study the hybrid subconvexity problem for…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character mod $D$ with $L(s,\chi)$ its associated $L$-function, and let $\psi(x,q,a)$ be Chebyshev's prime-counting function for primes congruent to $a$ modulo $q$. We show that under the assumption of an…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and a pair correlation conjecture for the zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we establish the truth of a conjecture of Montgomery (in its corrected form stated by Friedlander and Granville) on the…

We extend the work of Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel on correlation between Hecke eigenvalues of modular forms and algebraic trace functions in order to establish an asymptotic formula for a generalized cubic moment of modular L-functions at…

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…

We prove a lower bound of the correct order of magnitude in the conductor aspect for small rational moments of Drichlet $L$-functions. Such bounds require new techniques, which is visible from the relationship to non-vanishing results for…

Let $q$ be a large prime, and $\chi$ the quadratic character modulo $q$. Let $\phi$ be a self-dual Hecke--Maass cusp form for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, and $u_j$ a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\Gamma_0(q)\subseteq SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with spectral…

In this article, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove an Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\varepsilon})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is…

We study the $2k$-th moment of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed prime modulus on the critical line and establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ and sharp upper bounds for $k$ in the range $0 \leq k \leq 1$.

We establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields. As an application, we prove some bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums over function fields.

In this paper, we establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed modulus over function fields. We apply the result to obtain upper bounds on moments of Dirichlet character sums over…

We investigate the distribution of values of cubic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s=1$. Following ideas of Granville and Soundararajan for quadratic $L$-functions, we model the distribution of $L(1,\chi)$ by the distribution of random Euler…

In recent years the question of maximizing GCD sums regained interest due to its firm link with large values of $L$-functions. In the present paper we initiate the study of minimizing for positive weights~$w$ of normalized $L^1$- norm the…

We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an application, we prove bounds for moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums.

Let $f$ be a primitive cusp form of weight $k$ and level $N,$ let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character of conductor coprime with $N,$ and let $\mathfrak{L}(f\otimes \chi, s)$ denote either $\log L(f\otimes \chi, s)$ or $(L'/L)(f\otimes \chi,…

The problem of finding upper bounds for L-functions at the edge of the critical strip has a long and interesting history. Here, the situation for classical L-functions such as Dirichlet L-functions is relatively well understood. The reason…

For a positive integer $q\not\equiv 2 \pmod 4$, this work considers the fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over both $t\in [0,T]$ and primitive characters to modulus $q$. An asymptotic formula with a power saving from both…

The Burgess inequality is the best upper bound we have for the character sum $S_{\chi}(M,N) = \sum_{M<n\le M+N} \chi(n).$ Until recently, no explicit estimates had been given for the inequality. In 2006, Booker gave an explicit estimate for…

In this work we establish a Burgess bound for short multiplicative character sums in arbitrary dimensions, in which the character is evaluated at a homogeneous form that belongs to a very general class of "admissible" forms. This…

We establish sharp upper bounds for shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our result is then used to prove bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums.
