Let f be a cusp form for SL(3, Z) associated with a generalized principal series representation of minimal weight d, spectral parameter r and associated L-function L(s, f). For $r \asymp d \asymp T$ the subconvexity bound $L(1/2, f) \ll…

We study the distribution of large (and small) values of several families of $L$-functions on a line $\text{Re(s)}=\sigma$ where $1/2<\sigma<1$. We consider the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the $t$-aspect, Dirichlet $L$-functions in…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be a fixed Dirichlet $L$-function. Given a vertical arithmetic progression of $T$ points on the line $\Re(s)=1/2$, we show that $\gg T \log T$ of them are not zeros of $L(s,\chi)$. This result provides some theoretical…

In this paper, we solve the hybrid subconvexity problem for $\rm GL (3)\times GL (2)$ $L$-functions twisted by a primtive Dirichlet charater modulo $M$ (prime) in the $M$- and $t$-aspects. We also improve hybrid subconvexity bounds for…

We prove estimates for solutions of the $\bar \partial u=\omega $ equation in a strictly pseudo convex domain $ \Omega $ in ${\mathbb{C}}^{n}.$ For instance if the $ (p,q)$ current $\omega $ has its coefficients in $L^{r}(\Omega )$ with…

We give a geometric criterion for Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to cyclic characters over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ to vanish at the central point $s=1/2$. The idea is based on the observation that vanishing at the…

An algorithm is given to efficiently compute $L$-functions with large conductor in a restricted range of the critical strip. Examples are included for about 21000 dihedral Galois representations with conductor near $10^7$. The data shows…

Let $\chi$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,\chi )}{L(s,\chi)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation of $GL_m({\Bbb A}_{\Bbb Q})$ and $L(s,\,\pi)$ be the global $L-$function attached to $\pi$. If ${\rm Re}(s)>1$, $L(s,\,\pi)$ has a Dirichlet series expression. When $\pi$ is…

Let C(q,+) be the set of even, primitive Dirichlet characters (mod q). Using the mollifier method we show that L^{(k)}(1/2,chi) is not equal to zero for almost all the characters chi in C(q,+) when k and q are large. Here, L^{(k)}(s,chi) is…
