We compute the second moment in the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions with prime conductors over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ when the degree of the discriminant goes to infinity, obtaining one of the lower order terms. We also obtain an…
We obtain asymptotic formulas for the second and third moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions at the critical point, in the function field setting. We fix the ground field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and assume for simplicity that $q$ is a prime…
We prove the asymptotic formulae for several moments of derivatives of GL(2) L-functions over quadratic twists. The family of L-functions we consider has root number fixed to -1 and odd orthogonal symmetry. Assuming GRH we prove the…
The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over the rational function field at the central point $s=\tfrac{1}{2}$ where the character $\chi$ is defined by the Legendre symbol for…
We investigate the moment and the distribution of $L(1,\x_P),$ where $\x_P$ varies over quadratic characters associated to irreducible polynomials $P$ of degree $2g+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ as $g\to\infty$. In the first part of the paper…
For a fixed SL(3, Z) Maass form g, we consider the family of L-functions L(g \times u_j, s) where u_j runs over the family of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on SL(2,Z). We obtain an estimate for the second moment of this family of L-functions at…
We calculate the first and second moments of L-functions in the family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve E over F_q[x], asymptotically in the limit as the degree of the twists tends to infinity. We also compute moments involving…
We study the local statistics of zeros of $L$-functions attached to Artin-Scheier curves over finite fields. We consider three families of Artin-Schreier $L$-functions: the ordinary, polynomial (the $p$-rank 0 stratum) and odd-polynomial…
We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L-functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our conjectures also have an almost identical…
For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…
In this paper, we establish the expected order of magnitude of the $k$th-moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ as well as of prime moduli over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for…
We prove explicit formulas for certain first and second moment sums of families of Gaussian hypergeometric functions $_{n+1}F_n$, $n\ge1$, over finite fields with $q$ elements where $q$ is an odd prime. This enables us to find an estimate…
In this article, we study the second moment of cubic Dirichlet L-functions at the central point $s=1/2$ over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$, where $q$ is a power of an odd prime satisfying $q \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$. Our result…
We consider the family of Rankin-Selberg convolution L-functions of a fixed SL(3, Z) Maass form with the family of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on SL(2, Z). We estimate the second moment of this family of L-functions with a "long" integration in…
In this paper we extend to the function field setting the heuristics formerly developed by Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith, for the integral moments of $L$-functions. We also adapt to the function setting the heuristics first…
We study the second moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$ twisted by the square of an arbitrary Dirichlet polynomial. We break the $\frac{1}{2}$-barrier in this problem, and obtain an asymptotic formula provided…
We compute the second moment of a certain family of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions L(f x g, 1/2) where f and g are Hecke-Maass cusp forms on GL(n). Our bound is as strong as the Lindel\"of hypothesis on average, and recovers individually the…
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,…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, as the base field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is fixed and the genus of the family goes to infinity. According to conjectures of Andrade…
In this paper, we study the $k$-th moment of central values of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions of moduli $8p$, with $p$ ranging over odd primes. Assuming the truth of the generlized Riemann hypothesis, we establish sharp…
