Let $f$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for the full modular group and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$. Let $s_0=\sigma_0+it_0$ with $\frac{1}{2}\leq\sigma_0<1$. We improve the error term for the first moment of…
In this paper, we prove the smooth cubic moments vanish for the Hecke--Maass cusp forms, which gives a new case of the random wave conjecture. In fact, we can prove a polynomial decay for the smooth cubic moments, while for the smooth…
We prove a lower bound of the correct order of magnitude in the conductor aspect for small rational moments of Drichlet $L$-functions. Such bounds require new techniques, which is visible from the relationship to non-vanishing results for…
Mean values of Witten $L$-functions in the "character" aspect are investigated. After giving a general formula for mean values with the first and the second power, we explicitly calculate the cubic moment for $SU(2)$.
We prove explicit formulas for certain first and second moment sums of families of Gaussian hypergeometric functions $_{n+1}F_n$, $n\ge1$, over finite fields with $q$ elements where $q$ is an odd prime. This enables us to find an estimate…
We study the moments of $\mbox{Tr}(\Theta_\chi)$ as $\chi$ runs over Dirichlet characters defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of fixed order $r$. In particular, we show that after an appropriate normalization, the $q$-limit of the power sum…
We compute an asymptotic formula for a moment involving the spinor and the standard $L$-functions for holomorphic Siegel cusp forms of degree two and large weight $k$. Applications include simultaneous non-vanishing statements and lower…
We prove an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for a specific weighted second moment of $\mathrm{GL}(2)\times \mathrm{GL}(2)$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-function, $L(1/2,\pi\otimes \pi_0)$ over any number field $F$ where $\pi$ runs…
Given $c,$ a positive integer, we give an explicit formula and an asymptotic formula for \[ \sum\chi(c)|L(1,\,\chi)|^{2}, \] where $\chi$ is the non-trivial Dirichlet character mod $f$ with $f>c.$
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…
We evaluate the twisted four moment on the critical line of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed prime power modulus, obtaining an asymptotic formula with a power saving error term.
We study wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions using analytic properties of the Lerch zeta function. Among other things we obtain an asymptotic expansion of wide moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions (with arbitrary twists) extending results…
This paper exposes the underlying mechanism for obtaining second integral moments of $GL_2$ automorphic $L$--functions over an arbitrary number field. Here, moments for $GL_2$ are presented in a form enabling application of the structure of…
We compute the second moment of a certain family of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions L(f x g, 1/2) where f and g are Hecke-Maass cusp forms on GL(n). Our bound is as strong as the Lindel\"of hypothesis on average, and recovers individually the…
For a 1-parametric family $E_k$ of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and a prime $p$, consider the second moment sum $M_{2,p}(E_k)=\sum_{k \in \mathbb{F}_p} a_{k,p}^2$, where $a_{k,p}=p+1-\#E_k(\mathbb{F}_p)$. Inspired by Rosen and…
We devise heuristics using multiple Dirichlet series to predict asymptotic formulas for shifted moments of (1) the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of all even primitive characters of conductor $\leq Q$, with $Q$ a parameter tending to…
In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula for the twisted second moment of $L$-functions associated with Hecke--Maass cusp forms for $\rm SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, and further deduce a weighted zero-density estimate for these $L$-functions…
We evaluate the first three moments of central values of a family of qudratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field with power saving error terms. In particular, we obtain asymptotic formulas for the first two moments with error terms…
Given good knowledge on the even moments, we derive asymptotic formulas for $\lambda$-th moments of primes in short intervals and prove "equivalence" result on odd moments. We also provide numerical evidence in support of these results.
