We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…

In this article we prove that solutions of singular fully nonlinear partial differential equations are $C^{1,\beta}$. We also prove the simplicity of the principal eigenvalues for the Dirichlet Problem associated to these operators using…

We present a simple analytic proof that L-functions of real non-principal Dirichlet characters are nonzero at 1.

For a wide class of Dirichlet series associated to automorphic forms, we show that those without Euler products must have zeros within the region of absolute convergence. For instance, we prove that if f is a classical holomorphic modular…

Let $k$ be a positive real number, and let $M_k(q)$ be the sum of $|L(\tfrac12,\chi)|^{2k}$ over all non-principal characters to a given modulus $q$. We prove that $M_k(q)\ll_k \phi(q)(\log q)^{k^2}$ whenever $k$ is the reciprocal $n^{-1}$…

We prove that 1) for any $q\in (0,1)$, all complex conjugate pairs of zeros of the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ belong to the set $\{$~Re\,$x\in (-5792.7,0),$~$|$Im\,$x|<132~\}$ $\cup$ $\{…

We prove that among 1 and the odd zeta values $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, \ldots, $\zeta(s)$, at least $ 0.21 \sqrt{s}/\sqrt{\log s}$ are linearly independent over the rationals, for any sufficiently large odd integer $s$. This is the first…

For each primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$, a hypothesis ${\rm GRH}^\dagger[\chi]$ is formulated in terms of zeros of the associated $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$. It is shown that for any such character, ${\rm GRH}^\dagger[\chi]$ is…

Set $K=\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and suppose that $c\in \mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a square-free algebraic integer with $c\equiv 1 \imod{\langle16\rangle}$. Let $L(s,\chi_{c})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function associated with the quartic residue character modulo…

We establish new estimates on short character sums for arbitrary composite moduli with small prime factors. Our main result improves on the Graham-Ringrose bound for square free moduli and also on the result due to Gallagher and Iwaniec…

We prove a formula, with power savings, for the sixth moment of Dirichlet L-functions averaged over moduli $q$, over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$, and over the critical line. Our formula agrees precisely with predictions motivated…

For a cuspidal Hecke eigenform $F$ for $Sp_n(Z)$ and a Dirichlet character $\chi$ let $L(s,F,\chi,St)$ be the standard $L$-function of $F$ twisted by $\chi$. Boecherer showed the boundedness of denominators of the algebraic part of…

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…

In 2016, Fei \cite{fei2016application} established a bound on the Siegel zeros for real primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $q$, assuming the weak Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. Building on Fei's work, Jia \cite{jia2022conditional}…

A modified Dirichlet character $f$ is a completely multiplicative function such that for some Dirichlet character $\chi$, $f(p)=\chi(p)$ for all but a finite number of primes $p\in S$, and for those exceptional primes $p\in S$, $|f(p)|\leq…

We compute asymptotic formulae for the mollified first and second moments for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in the function field setting. As an application, we obtain non-vanishing results for the derivatives of the…

In the framework of (possibly non-smooth) metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant in a synthetic sense, we establish a sharp and rigid reverse-H\"older inequality for first eigenfunctions of the…

Stephen D. Miller showed that, assuming the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, every entire $L$-function of real archimedian type has a zero in the interval $\frac12+i t$ with $-t_0 < t < t_0$, where $t_0\approx 14.13$ corresponds to the first…

We show that Landau-Siegel zeros for Dirichlet $L$-functions do not exist or quantum unique ergodicity for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ Hecke-Maass newforms holds with an effective rate of convergence. This follows from a more general result:…

Dirichlet's theorem guarantees infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo q, but the analytic mechanism underlying this separation is often difficult to visualize directly. In this article we construct simplified…
