We study the Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariant of Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of arbitrary order for odd primes $p$. From special values of the $p$-adic $L$-function and its derivative we derive several novel and easily computable criteria to…

A modified Dirichlet character $f$ is a completely multiplicative function such that for some Dirichlet character $\chi$, $f(p)=\chi(p)$ for all but a finite number of primes $p\in S$, and for those exceptional primes $p\in S$, $|f(p)|\leq…

When $p$ is an odd prime, Delbourgo observed that any Kubota-Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-function, when multiplied by an auxiliary Euler factor, can be written as an infinite sum. We shall establish such expressions without restriction on $p$,…

We show in a quantitative way that any odd character $\chi$ modulo $q$ of fixed order $g \geq 2$ satisfies the property that if the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality for $\chi$ can be improved to $$\max_{1 \leq t \leq q} \left|\sum_{n \leq t}…

The aim of this paper is to provide an analogue of the Ball-Rivoal theorem for $p$-adic $L$-values of Dirichlet characters. More precisely, we prove for a Dirichlet character $\chi$ and a number field $K$ the formula…

We estimate double sums $$ S_\chi(a, I, G) = \sum_{x \in I} \sum_{\lambda \in G} \chi(x + a\lambda), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ with a multiplicative character $\chi$ modulo $p$ where $I= \{1,\ldots, H\}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of order $T$ of…

We obtain explicit estimates for the mixed character sum $S= S(\chi,g,f,p^m) = \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi (g(x)) e_{p^m}(f(x))$, where $p^m$ is a prime power, $\chi$ is a multiplicative character mod $p^m$ and $f,g$ are rational functions over…

For a prime p and base b, the collision invariant $S_{\ell}(p)$, introduced in the companion paper, is a function of $p \bmod b^{\ell+1}$ and therefore lives on the finite group $(\mathbb{Z}/b^{\ell+1}\mathbb{Z})^{\times}$. Its Fourier…

An explicit formula for the quadratic mean value at $s=1$ of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with the odd Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ is known. Here we present a situation where we could prove an explicit formula for the…

In this paper, we study the distribution of difference of multiplicative and additive characters modulo $p$ at consecutive polynomial values. More precisely, for an interval $I$ over finite field and $0<m<1$, we investigate the following…

We prove that more than nine percent of the central values $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi_p)$ are non-zero, where $p\equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ ranges over primes and $\chi_p$ is the real primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $p$. Previously, it was not…

We study $p$-adic $L$-functions $L_p(s,\chi)$ for Dirichlet characters $\chi$. We show that $L_p(s,\chi)$ has a Dirichlet series expansion for each regularization parameter $c$ that is prime to $p$ and the conductor of $\chi$. The expansion…

For a polynomial $f(x)$ in $(\mathbb{Z}_p\cap \mathbb{Q})[x]$ of degree $d>2$ let $L(f \bmod p;T)$ be the $L$-function of the exponential sum of $f \bmod p$. Let $\mathrm{NP}(f \bmod p)$ denote the Newton polygon of $L(f \bmod p;T)$. Let…

Let $F$ be a totally real field and let $E/F$ be a CM quadratic extension. We construct a $p$-adic $L$-function attached to Hida families for the group ${\rm GL}_{2/F}\times {\rm Res}_{E/F}{\rm GL}_{1}$. It is characterised by an exact…

In this paper, we calculate the ramified local integrals in the doubling method and present an integral representation of standard $L$-functions for classical groups. We explicitly construct local sections of Eisenstein series such that the…

Let p be a prime and let a be a positive integer. In this paper we determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/m^k$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/(km^{k-1})$ modulo $p$ for all d=0,...,p^a, where m is any integer not divisible by p.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}X^{n}\in\mathbb{F}_p[[X]]$ be the reduction modulo $p$ of the Artin-Hasse exponential. We obtain a polynomial expression for $a_{kp}$ in terms of those $a_{rp}$ with $r<k$, for even…
