We study the conjecture that $\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $\chi \pmod q$ with $x\geq q^\epsilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,\chi)$. We show that it holds under…

We generalize our recent construction of the zeros of the Riemann $\zeta$-function to two infinite classes of $L$-functions, Dirichlet $L$-functions and those based on level one modular forms. More specifically, we show that there are an…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that for all sufficiently large integers $N$, the (non-trivial) convolution sum bound $$ \left|\sum_{1 \leq n < N} \lambda(n) \lambda(N-n)\right| < N-1 $$ holds. This (essentially)…

In this paper, we estimate the proportion of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. Using Feng's mollifier and an asymptotic formula for the mean square of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we prove that averaged over primitive…

Y\i ld\i r\i m has classified zeros of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions into trivial zeros, nontrivial zeros and vagrant zeros. In this paper we remove the possibility of vagrant zeros for $L'(s,\chi)$ when the conductors are…

Let $\pi$ and $\pi_0$ be unitary cuspidal automorphic representations. We prove log-free zero density estimates for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of the form $L(s,\pi\times\pi_0)$, where $\pi$ varies in a given family and $\pi_0$ is fixed.…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$. Let $F(s)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)n^{-s}$ be the associated Dirichlet series and $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ be the truncated Dirichlet…

Let $\mathfrak{F}_n$ be the set of unitary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$, and let $S\subseteq\mathfrak{F}_n$ be an arbitrary finite subset. Given $\pi_0\in\mathfrak{F}_{n_0}$, we establish…

In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…

We show, for any $q\ge 3$ and distinct reduced residues $a,b \pmod q$, the existence of certain hypothetical sets of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line implies that $\pi(x;q,a)<\pi(x;q,b)$ for a set of real $x$ of…

Tur\'an observed that logarithmic partial sums $\sum_{n\le x}\frac{f(n)}{n}$ of completely multiplicative functions (in the particular case of the Liouville function $f(n)=\lambda(n)$) tend to be positive. We develop a general approach to…

Our main result is to answer a question of Michel Balazard by giving a Dirichlet series with only one zero in its half-plane of convergence. At the end of the paper we also give several sufficient conditions for the Generalized Riemann…

Generalizing work of Polya, de Bruijn and Newman, we allow the backward heat equation to deform the zeros of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions. There is a real constant \Lambda_Kr (generalizing the de Bruijn-Newman constant \Lambda) such that…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…

We prove joint universality theorems on the half plane of absolute convergence for general classes of Dirichlet series with an Euler-product, where in addition to vertical shifts we also allow scaling. This generalizes our recent joint…

It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…

Assume that the generalized Ramanujan conjecture holds on the automorphic $L$-function $L(s, \pi)$ on $\GL_d$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with $d\geq 3$, we can obtain a small log-saving non-trivial bound on the second integral moment of $L(1/2+it,…

In this report, we present a proof of Levinson's theorem, following the ideas of Matthew P. Young in 2010, which states that one-third of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line, i.e. the line Re(s) =…

For any $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s)>0$, denote by $\eta_{n-1}(s)$ the $(n-1)^{th}$ partial sum of the Dirichlet series for the eta function $\eta(s)=1-2^{-s}+3^{-s}-\cdots \;$, and by $R_n(s)$ the corresponding remainder. Denoting by…

Let $N$ be a fixed positive integer, and let $f\in S_k(N)$ be a primitive cusp form given by the Fourier expansion $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \lambda_f(n)n^{\frac{k-1}{2}}e(nz)$. We consider the partial sum $S(x,f)=\sum_{n\leq…
