We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…

Starting with the large deviation principle (LDP) for the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi binomial random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ (edge indicators are i.i.d.), due to Chatterjee and Varadhan (2011), we derive the LDP for the uniform random graph…

An asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum L(1,\chi)$ is established for a family of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ as $g\rightarrow\infty$ making use of the analogue of the approximate functional…

Andrade and Keating computed the mean value of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions at the critical point, in the hyperelliptic ensemble over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Summing $L(1/2,\chi_D)$ over monic, square-free polynomials $D$…

Let $\chi$ denote a primitive, non-quadratic Dirichlet character with conductor $q$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ denote its associated Dirichlet $L$-function. We show that $|L(1, \chi)| \geq 1/(9.12255 \log(q/\pi))$ for sufficiently large $q$, and…

Double $L$-functions are the generalization of Dirichlet $L$-functions to two variable functions. We investigate the order estimation of double $L$-functions, and give upper bounds which are explicit in conductor aspect.

Given a non-principal Dirichlet character chi mod q, an important problem in number theory is to obtain good estimates for the size of L(1,chi). In this paper we focus on sharpening the upper bounds known for |L(1,chi)|; in particular, we…
