For Dirichlet characters $\chi$ mod $k$ where $k\geq 3$, we here give a computable formula for evaluating the mean square sums $\sum\limits_{\substack{\chi \text{ mod }k\\\chi(-1)=(-1)^r}}|L(r,\chi)|^2$ for any positive integer $r\geq 3$.…

We consider the size of large character sums, proving new lower bounds for the quantity $\Delta(N,q) = \sup_{\chi\neq \chi_0 mod q} |\sum_{n < N} \chi(n)|$ for almost all ranges of $N$. The results are proven using the resonance method and…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we rediscover and sharpen some of the best known results regarding the distribution of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. This builds upon earlier work of Omar, which relies on the…

Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. Let us use $\mathcal{L}(s,\chi)$ to denote its logarithmic derivative $L'(s, \chi)/L(s, \chi)$. We first prove some arithmetic…

In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet polynomials with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)n^{it}$, where $1\ll t\le T$ for large $T$. We prove an improved Omega result in the region $\exp((\log…

We consider the value distribution of logarithms of symmetric square L-functions associated with newforms of even weight and prime power level at real s> 1/2. We prove that certain averages of those values can be written as integrals…

In the present paper we prove lower bounds for L-functions from the Selberg class, by this means improving earlier results obtained by the second author together with J\"orn Steuding. We formulate two theorems which use slightly different…

We obtain a formula for the $p$-adic valuation of weighted moments of central $L$-values of holomorphic cusp forms twisted by Dirichlet characters of order $p$. In some cases we give an arithmetic interpretation of the constants in the…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, Soundararajan showed that $\displaystyle{\int_{0}^{T} \vert \zeta(1/2 + it)\vert^{2k} \ll T(\log T)^{k^2 + \epsilon}}$ . His method was used by Chandee to obtain upper bounds for shifted moments of the…

We study the distribution of large (and small) values of several families of $L$-functions on a line $\text{Re(s)}=\sigma$ where $1/2<\sigma<1$. We consider the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the $t$-aspect, Dirichlet $L$-functions in…

In this paper, we study the value distribution of the derivative of a Dirichlet $L$-function $L'(s,\chi)$ at the $a$-points $\rho_{a,\chi}=\beta_{a,\chi}+i\gamma_{a,\chi}$ of $L(s,\chi).$ We give an asymptotic formula for the sum…

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…

We consider the joint value distribution of Dirichlet $L$-functions in the critical strip $\frac{1}{2} < \sigma < 1$. We show that the values of distinct Dirichlet $L$-functions are dependent in the sense that they do not behave like…
