We prove a non-vanishing result for central values of $L$-functions on GL(3), by using the mollification method and the Kuznetsov trace formula.

We prove that there is a positive proportion of $L$-functions associated to cubic characters over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ that do not vanish at the critical point $s=1/2$. This is achieved by computing the first mollified moment using techniques…

We employ a regularized relative trace formula to establish a second moment estimate for twisted $L$-functions across all aspects over a number field. Our results yield hybrid subconvex bounds for both Hecke $L$-functions and twisted…

We prove asymptotics for mollified first and second moments of subfamilies of Dirichlet $L$-functions given by shrinking angular restrictions on the root number. Using these moments, we prove that for even primitive characters with prime…

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…

With the method of moments and the mollification method, we study the central $L$-values of GL(2) Maass forms of weight $0$ and level $1$ and establish a positive-proportional nonvanishing result of such values in the aspect of large…

We prove a non-vanishing result for families of $\GL_n\times\GL_n$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the critical strip, as one factor runs over twists by Hecke characters. As an application, we simplify the proof, due to Luo, Rudnick, and…

Generalizing our previous work on ``toroidal averages'', we study the average of special values of $L$-functions of the form $L(1/2,\chi^a)L(1/2,\chi^b)L(1/2,\chi^c)$ for integers $a$, $b$ and $c$, where $\chi$ varies over Dirichlet…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet L-function associated to $\chi$. Using a new two-piece mollifier we show that $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)\ne0$ for at least 34% of the characters in the…

We investigate the consequences of natural conjectures of Montgomery type on the non-vanishing of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point. We first justify these conjectures using probabilistic arguments. We then show using a result of…

We prove the nonvanishing of the twisted central critical values of a class of automorphic $L$-functions for twists by all but finitely many unitary characters in particular infinite families. While this paper focuses on $L$-functions…

We extend the work of Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel on correlation between Hecke eigenvalues of modular forms and algebraic trace functions in order to establish an asymptotic formula for a generalized cubic moment of modular L-functions at…

For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…

We describe algorithms for computing central values of twists of $L$-functions associated to Hilbert modular forms, carry out such computations for a number of examples, and compare the results of these computations to some heuristics and…

We prove a strengthening of Mui\'c's integral non-vanishing criterion for Poincar\'e series on unimodular locally compact Hausdorff groups and use it to prove a result on non-vanishing of L-functions associated to cusp forms of…

Using the mollifier method, we show that for a positive proportion of holomorphic Hecke eigenforms of level one and weight bounded by a large enough constant, the associated symmetric square $L$-function does not vanish at the central point…

Fix $g$ a Hecke-Maass form for $SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$. Let $q$ be any large prime number. In the family of holomorphic newforms $f$ of level $q$ and fixed weight, we find the average value of the product $L(\half,g\times f)L(\half,f)$. From…

In this paper, we give some non-vanishing results on the central values of prime twists of modular $L$-functions by imaginary quadratic fields for specific elliptic modular forms. In particular, we show that the central values of prime…

In this article, we prove non-vanishing results for $L$-functions associated to holomorphic cusp forms of half-integral weight on average (over an orthogonal basis of Hecke eigenforms). This extends a result of W. Kohnen to forms of…

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'…
