We study the moments of $L$-functions associated with primitive cusp forms, in the weight aspect. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the twisted moments of a \textit{long} Dirichlet polynomial with modular coefficients. This…

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the mean square of truncations of the Dirichlet series of $\zeta(s)^k$. We discuss the connections of this problem with that of the variance of the divisor function in short intervals and in arithmetic…

In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the mean value of long smoothed Dirichlet polynomials with divisor coefficients. Our result has a main term that includes all lower order terms and a power saving error term. This is…

In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for mean values of long Dirichlet polynomials with higher order shifted divisor functions, assuming a smoothed additive divisor conjecture for higher order shifted divisor functions. As a…

We study averages of $L$-functions associated with Hecke-Maass cusp forms for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, multiplied by Dirichlet polynomials built from the Fourier coefficients of the cusp forms. To prove this, we employ a variant of the Kuznetsov…

In this paper, we evaluate the sum $\sum_{m,n}\leg {m}{n}d(n)$, where $\leg {m}{n}$ is the Kronecker symbol and $d(n)$ is the divisor function.

In a recent work arXiv:2004.14450, it has been shown that $L$-functions associated with arbitrary non-zero cusp forms take large values at the central critical point. The goal of this note is to derive analogous results for twists of…

Improving earlier work of Balasubramanian, Conrey and Heath-Brown, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the mean-square of the Riemann zeta-function times an arbitrary Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{1/2 + \delta}$, with $\delta =…

In this work, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the twisted mean square of a Dirichlet $L$-function with a longer mollifier, whose coefficients are also more general than before. As an application we obtain that, for every Dirichlet…

We consider heuristic predictions for small non-zero algebraic central values of twists of the $L$-function of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ by Dirichlet characters. We provide computational evidence for these predictions and…

Finding the mean square averages of the Dirichlet $L$-functions over Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of same parity is an active problem in number theory. Here we explicitly evaluate such averages of $L(3,\chi)$ and $L(4,\chi)$ using certain…

We prove that suitable properties of the twists by Dirichlet characters of an L-function of degree 2 imply that its Euler product is of polynomial type.

In the first part of this expository paper, we present and discuss the interplay of Dirichlet polynomials in some classical problems of number theory, notably the Lindel\"of Hypothesis. We review some typical properties of their means and…

We fix an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ and consider the family $\{E\otimes\chi_D\}$ of $E$ twisted by quadratic Dirichlet characters. The one-level density of their $L$-functions is shown to follow orthogonal symmetry for test…

In this article, we investigate conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. We prove some Omega results of quadratic character sums under the assumption of the generalized Riemnn hypothesis, which are as sharp as…

We use a relative trace formula on GL(2) to compute a sum of twisted modular L-functions anywhere in the critical strip, weighted by a Fourier coefficient and a Hecke eigenvalue. When the weight k or level N is sufficiently large, the sum…

We define the $L$-measure on the set of Dirichlet characters as an analogue of the Plancherel measure, once considered as a measure on the irreducible characters of the symmetric group. We compare the two measures and study the limit in…

We study the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor at most $Q$, where $Q$ is a parameter tending to $\infty$. For an arbitrary positive integer $k$, we approximate the twisted $2k$th moment of this…

We evaluate the average of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums with the modulus going up to a size comparable to the length of the individual sums. This generalizes a result of Conrey, Farmer and Soundararajan on quadratic Dirichlet…

In this article, we investigate conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients. We prove some Omega results under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
