Let $f$ be a fixed holomorphic primitive cusp form of even weight $k$, level $r$ and trivial nebentypus $\chi_r$. Let $q$ be an odd prime with $(q,r)=1$ and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulus $q$ with $\chi\neq\chi_r$. In…

We give an explicit upper bound for non-principal Dirichlet $L$-functions on the line $s=1+it$. This result can be applied to improve the error in the zero-counting formulae for these functions.

In this paper, we consider three problems about signs of the Fourier coefficients of a cusp form $\mathfrak{f}$ with half-integral weight:\begin{itemize}\item[--]The first negative coefficient of the sequence…

Let $f$ be a Maass form for $SL(3, \mathbb{Z})$ which is fixed and $u_j$ be an orthonormal basis of even Maass forms for $SL(2, \mathbb{Z}),$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the average of the product of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function…

In this paper, we study the non-vanishing of the central values of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function of two ad\`elic Hilbert primitive forms ${\bf f}$ and ${\bf g}$, both of which have varying weight parameter $k$. We prove that, for…

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…

Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]$ be a constant-degree polynomial,and let $A,B,C\subset\mathbb C$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{11/6})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$, unless $F$ has a…

We study simultaneous non-vanishing of $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\di)$ and $L(\tfrac{1}{2},g\otimes \di)$, when $\di$ runs over an orthogonal basis of the space of Hecke-Maass cusp forms for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $g$ is a fixed $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible, cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$ ($n\geq 3$), which is tempered only for $n=3$. Let $s$ be a complex number such that $\Re(s)\notin \left[1/n, 1-1/n\right]$ if $n\neq 4$;…

Let E be an elliptic curve and \rho an Artin representation, both defined over the rational numbers. Let p be a prime at which E has good reduction. We prove that there exists an infinite set of Dirichlet characters \chi, ramified only at…

The Katz-Sarnak Density Conjecture states that zeros of families of $L$-functions are well-modeled by eigenvalues of random matrix ensembles. For suitably restricted test functions, this correspondence yields upper bounds for the families'…

We define new objects called 'horizontal $p$-adic $L$-functions' associated to $L$-values of twists of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ by characters of $p$-power order and conductor prime to $p$. We study the fundamental properties of…

Let $\mathcal{C}_n =\left [\chi_{\lambda}(\mu)\right]_{\lambda, \mu}$ be the character table for $S_n,$ where the indices $\lambda$ and $\mu$ run over the $p(n)$ many integer partitions of $n.$ In this note we study $Z_{\ell}(n),$ the…

The Golomb-Welch conjecture states that there are no perfect $e$-error-correcting Lee codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ ($PL(n,e)$-codes) whenever $n\geq 3$ and $e\geq 2$. A special case of this conjecture is when $e=2$. In a recent paper of A.…

For any integer $d\geq 3$ such that $-d$ is a fundamental discriminant, we show that the Dirichlet $L$-function associated with the real primitive character $\chi(\cdot)=(\frac{-d}{\cdot})$ does not vanish on the positive part of the…

Let $\mathcal{F}(\mathbf{k},\mathfrak{q})$ be the set of normalized Hilbert newforms of weight $\mathbf{k}$ and prime level $\mathfrak{q}$. In this paper, utilizing regularized relative trace formulas, we establish a positive proportion of…

It is an open question of Baker whether the numbers $L(1, \chi)$ for non-trivial Dirichlet characters $\chi$ with period $q$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. The best known result is due to Baker, Birch and Wirsing which affirms…

We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\geq 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and a pair correlation conjecture for the zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we establish the truth of a conjecture of Montgomery (in its corrected form stated by Friedlander and Granville) on the…

In the early 1980s, Rohrlich began a study of canonical Hecke characters, which are closely related to the simplest examples of CM elliptic curves. He and Montgomery showed the non-vanishing of the central value when the L-function has an…
