Let $\chi$ be a real and non-principal Dirichlet character, $L(s,\chi)$ its Dirichlet $L$-function and let $p$ be a generic prime number. We prove the following result: If for some $0\leq \sigma<1$ the partial sums $\sum_{p\leq…

Let $\pi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbf{Z})$ and let $g$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbf{Z})$. Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus $M=M_1M_2$ with $M_i$ prime, $i=1,2$.…

In this paper, we prove the simultaneous non-vanishing of four Dirichlet $L$-functions at any point on the critical line. More precisely, let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_4$ be even Dirichlet characters modulo $D_1,\ldots, D_4$ respectively, where…

We show that for a positive proportion of real primitive Dirichlet characters chi, the associated Dirichlet L-function L(s,chi) has no zeros on the positive real axis. Prior to this it was not known whether or not there were infinitely many…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation for $GL_m({\Bbb A}_{\Bbb Q})$, and let $L(s, \pi)$ be the automorphic $L$-function attached to $\pi$, which has a Dirichlet series expression in the half-plane $\mbox{Re} s>1$.…

We consider the $2m$-th order elliptic boundary value problem $Lu=f(x,u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\partial\Omega$. The operator $L$ is a uniformly elliptic linear operator of…

We obtain a lower bound on the number of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over the rational function field which vanish at the central point $s = 1/2$. This is in contrast with the situation over the rational numbers, where a conjecture of…

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 give an explicit version of a result due to D. Burgess. Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $p$. We show that the maximum number of consecutive integers for which $\chi$ takes on a particular value is less…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for all moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1,\chi)$ modulo $p$ when averaged over a subgroup of characters $\chi$ of size $(p-1)/d$ with $\varphi(d)=o(\log p)$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes,…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…

In this paper, we present a simple analytic proof of Siegel's theorem that concerns the lower bound of $L(1,\chi)$ for primitive quadratic $\chi$. Our new method compares an elementary lower bound with an analytic upper bound obtained by…

For each nonprincipal Dirichlet character $\chi$, let $n_\chi$ be the least $n$ with $\chi(n) \notin \{0,1\}$. We show that as the average of $n_\chi$ over all nonprincipal characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ is $\ell(q) + o(1)$, where $\ell(q)$…

It is known that $|\zeta(1+ it)|\ll (\log t)^{2/3}$. This paper provides a new explicit estimate, viz.\ $|\zeta(1+ it)|\leq 3/4 \log t$, for $t\geq 3$. This gives the best upper bound on $|\zeta(1+ it)|$ for $t\leq 10^{2\cdot 10^{5}}$.

We study the 2k-th power moment of Dirichlet L-functions L(s,\chi) at the centre of the critical strip (s=1/2), where the average is over all primitive characters \chi (mod q). We extend to this case the hybrid Euler-Hadamard product…

We revisit Munshi's proof of the $t$-aspect subconvex bound for $\rm GL(3)$ $L$-functions, and we are able to remove the `conductor lowering' trick. This simplification along with a more careful stationary phase analysis allows us to…

We give a combinatorial proof of the transcendence of $L(1,\chi_s)/\Pi$, where $L(1,\chi_s)$ (resp. $\Pi$) is the analogue in characteristic $p$ of the function $L$ of Dirichlet (resp. $\pi$). This result has been proven by G. Damamme using…

We consider a general form of L-function L(s) defined by an Euler product and satisfies several analytic assumptions. We show several asymptotic formulas for L(1) and log L(1). In particular those asymptotic formulas are valid for Dirichlet…

This text shows the existence of large (3.54 times the average) gaps between consecutive zeros, on the critical line, of some Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s,\chi),$ with $\chi$ being an even primitive Dirichlet character.

In this paper, we prove a lower bound for $\underset{\chi \neq \chi_0}{\max}\bigg|\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\bigg|$, when $x= \frac{q}{(\log q)^B}$. This improves on a result of Granville and Soundararajan for large character sums when the…
