The asymptotic formula of the fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central value was predicted in a conjecture by J. B. Conrey, D. W. Farmer, J. P. Keating, M. O. Rubinstein, and N. C. Snaith, and the prime moduli case was proved…

For $a/q\in\mathbb{Q}$ the Estermann function is defined as $D(s,a/q):=\sum_{n\geq1}d(n)n^{-s}\operatorname{e}(n\frac aq)$ if $\Re(s)>1$ and by meromorphic continuation otherwise. For $q$ prime, we compute the moments of $D(s,a/q)$ at the…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the smoothly weighted first moment of primitive quadratic Dirichlet L-functions at the central point, with an error term that is "square-root" of the main term. Our approach uses a recursive technique…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of a product of two Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line, which has a power saving in the error term and which is uniform with respect to the involved Dirichlet characters. As…

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…

We compute the fourth moment of Dirichlet L-functions at the central point for prime moduli, with a power savings in the error term.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the fourth power mean of Dirichlet L-functions averaged over primitive characters to modulus q and over t\in [0,T] which is particularly effective when q \ge T. In this range the correct order of magnitude…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$, over all moduli $q\leq Q$ and with a short average on the critical line. Previously the same result was…

We obtain a second moment formula for the L-series of holomorphic cusp forms, averaged over twists by Dirichlet characters modulo a fixed conductor Q. The estimate obtained has no restrictions on Q, with an error term that has a close to…

Extending a result of Heath-Brown, we establish an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of central values of Dirichlet $L$-functions attached to primitive characters $\pmod q$.

We study the second moment of the central values of quadratic twists of a modular $L$-function. Unconditionally, we obtain a lower bound which matches the conjectured asymptotic formula, while on GRH we prove the asymptotic formula itself.

In this paper we address the problem of computing asymptotic formulae for the expected values and second moments of central values of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1/2,\chi_{8d}\otimes\psi)$ when $\psi$ is a fixed even primitive…

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 study the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s= \frac{1}{2}$. We show an asymptotic formula under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and obtain a precise lower bound unconditionally. The proofs of these results…

We prove results on moments of $L$-functions in the function field setting, where the moment averages are taken over primitive characters of modulus $R$, where $R$ is a polynomial in $\mathbb{F}_q [T]$. We consider the behaviour as…

We investigate the mean value of the twisted second moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi\ primitive\ cubic\\…

We evaluate asymptotically the smoothed first moment of central values of families of primitive cubic, quartic and sextic Dirichlet $L$-functions, using the method of double Dirichlet series. Quantitative non-vanishing result for these…

Fix a Hecke cusp form $f$, and consider the $L$-function of $f$ twisted by a primitive Dirichlet character. As we range over all primitive characters of a large modulus $q$, what is the average behavior of the square of the central value of…

We prove Motohashi's formula for a mixed second moment of the Riemann zeta function and a Dirichlet $L$-function attached to a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q \in \mathbb{N}$. If $q$ is an odd prime, our reciprocity formula is…
