Let $S(t,f)=\pi^{-1}\arg L(1/2+it, f)$, where $f$ is a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $2$ and prime level $q$. In this paper, we establish an unconditional asymptotic formula for the moments of $S(t,f)$, providing a level aspect…
Let $\pi$ and $\pi_0$ be unitary cuspidal automorphic representations. We prove log-free zero density estimates for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of the form $L(s,\pi\times\pi_0)$, where $\pi$ varies in a given family and $\pi_0$ is fixed.…
We prove an analogue of Selberg's zero density estimate for $\zeta(s)$ that holds for any $\mathrm{GL}_2$ $L$-function. We use this estimate to study the distribution of the vector of fractional parts of $\gamma\mathbf{\alpha}$, where…

We study the nonvanishing of twists of automorphic L-functions at the centre of the critical strip. Given a primitive character \chi modulo D satisfying some technical conditions, we prove that the twisted L-functions L(f.\chi,s) do not…
Considering the family of $L$-functions $\{L(s,f)\}_{f \in H_k}$ where $H_k$ is the set of weight $k$ Hecke-eigen cusp forms for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$, we prove a zero density estimate near the central point, valid as the weight $k \to…
We prove an upper bound on the density of zeros very close to the critical line of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of modulus $q$ at height $T$. To do this, we derive an asymptotic for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet…
The standard twist $F(s,\alpha)$ of $L$-functions $F(s)$ in the Selberg class has several interesting properties and plays a central role in the Selberg class theory. It is therefore natural to study its finer analytic properties, for…
Let $\pi$ and $\pi'$ be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(n)$ and $\mathrm{GL}(n')$ with unitary central characters. We establish a new zero-free region for all $\mathrm{GL}(1)$-twists of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function…
In this note, we prove that given a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$ for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and a sufficiently large integer $q=q_1q_2$ with $q_j\asymp \sqrt{q}$ being prime numbers for $j=1,2$, there exists a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$…
We prove several results on the distribution of values of $L$-functions at the edge of the critical strip, by constructing and studying a large class of random Euler products. Among new applications, we study families of symmetric power…
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…
Let $f$ and $g$ be holomorphic or Maass cusp forms for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of prime power conductor $\mathfrak{q}=p^{\kappa}$ with $p$ prime and $\kappa>12$. A subconvex bound for the…
Let $g$ denote a fixed holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $k \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$ on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and let $\pi$ be a fixed cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3$. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic…
We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…
We study, on average over f, zeros of the L-functions of primitive weight two forms of level q (fixed). We prove, on the one hand, density theorems for the zeros (similar to the results of Bombieri, Jutila, Motohashi, Selberg in the case of…
Let $X$ be a compact, hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that the twisted Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions, associated with an arbitrary, finite-dimensional, complex representation $\chi$ of $\pi_1(X)$ admit a…
Let $f$ be a normalized holomorphic cusp form for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k$ with $k\equiv0\bmod 4$. By the Kuznetsov trace formula for $GL_3(\mathbb R)$, we obtain the first moment of central values of $L(s,f\otimes \phi)$, where…
