In 2011, Gun, Murty and Rath studied non-vanishing and transcendental nature of special values of a varying class of $L$-functions and their derivatives. This led to a number of works by several authors in different set-ups including…

The uniqueness problems on transcendental meromorphic or entire functions sharing at least two values with their derivatives or linear differential polynomials have been studied and many results have been obtained. In this paper, we study a…

We address the question of non-vanishing of $L(1,f)$ where $f$ is an algebraic-valued, periodic arithmetical function. We do this by characterizing algebraic-valued, periodic functions $f$ for which $L(1,f)=0$. The case of odd functions was…

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…

In this paper, we establish relations between special values of Dirichlet $L$-functions and that of spectral zeta functions or $L$-functions of cycle graphs. In fact, they determine each other in a natural way. These two kinds of special…

Given $k\in\mathbb N$, we study the vanishing of the Dirichlet series $$D_k(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq1} d_k(n)f(n)n^{-s}$$ at the point $s=1$, where $f$ is a periodic function modulo a prime $p$. We show that if $(k,p-1)=1$ or $(k,p-1)=2$ and…

In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…

For any periodic function $f:{\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb C}$ with period $q$, we study the Dirichlet series $L(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)/n^s.$ It is well-known that this admits an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane except at…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be a fixed Dirichlet $L$-function. Given a vertical arithmetic progression of $T$ points on the line $\Re(s)=1/2$, we show that $\gg T \log T$ of them are not zeros of $L(s,\chi)$. This result provides some theoretical…

In this paper, we study the unicity of entire functions concerning their $q-$shifts and $k-$th derivatives and prove: Let $f(z)$ be a transcendental entire function of zero-order, and $g(z)$ define as in (1.1). Let $a(z), b(z)$ be two…

We investigate special values of Goss L-functions for Dirichlet characters at s=1 over rings of class number one and prove results on their transcendence and algebraic independence.

We consider a sum of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions over the zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. We give an asymptotic formula for the sum.

Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…

We develop a discrete spectral framework for Dirichlet $L$-functions that reveals a combinatorial structure underlying their special values and connects this to their zeros. Our approach approximates the classical Dirichlet series by finite…

Period polynomials have long been fruitful tools for the study of values of $L$-functions in the context of major outstanding conjectures. In this paper, we survey some facets of this study from the perspective of Eichler cohomology. We…

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules defined over the polynomial ring F_q[theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special…

In this article we study the value distribution theory for the first derivative of the logarithmic derivative of Dirichlet $L$-functions, generalizing certain results of Ihara, Matsumoto et. al. related to ``$M$-functions" for $\sigma = $…

A transcendental function usually returns transcendental values at algebraic points. The (algebraic) exceptions form the so-called \emph{exceptional set}, as for instance the unitary set $\{0\}$ for the function $f(z) = e^z \,$, according…

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…

We consider transcendental entire functions of finite order for which the zeros and $1$-points are in disjoint sectors. Under suitable hypotheses on the sizes of these sectors we show that such functions must have a specific form, or that…
