We investigate the existence of large values of L-functions attached to Maass forms on the critical line with prescribed argument. The results obtained rely on the resonance method developed by Soundararajan and furthered by Hough.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of central values of Dirichlet $L$-functions restricted to a coset. More specifically, consider a coset of the subgroup of characters modulo $d$ inside the full group of characters modulo…

We survey a number of different methods for computing $L(\chi,1-k)$ for a Dirichlet character $\chi$, with particular emphasis on quadratic characters. The main conclusion is that when $k$ is not too large (for instance $k\le100$) the best…

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…

The Landau-Selberg-Delange method gives precise asymptotic formulas for the partial sums $\sum_{n \le x} \, a_n$ of a Dirichlet series $\sum_n \, a_n/n^s$ that behaves like a complex power of the Riemann zeta function. However, situations…

An algorithm to compute Dirichlet $L$-functions for many quadratic characters is derived. The algorithm is optimal (up to logarithmic factors) provided that the conductors of the characters under consideration span a dyadic window.
