Let $q$ be a prime, $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character $\bmod\ q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the associated Dirichlet $L$-function. For every odd prime $q\le 10^7$, we show that $L(1,\chi_\square) > c_{1} \log q$ and $\beta < 1-…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive character $\chi$ modulo $q$ with $3\le q \le 400\,000$. We prove a new explicit zero-free region for $L(s,\chi)$: $L(s,\chi)$ does not vanish in the…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a real, non-principal character modulo $q$. Using Pintz's refinement of Page's theorem, we prove that for $q\geq 3$ the function $L(s, \chi)$ has at most one real zero $\beta$…

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…

We give explicit upper and lower bounds for $N(T,\chi)$, the number of zeros of a Dirichlet $L$-function with character $\chi$ and height at most $T$. Suppose that $\chi$ has conductor $q>1$, and that $T\geq 5/7$. If…

Let $\chi$ be a real primitive character to the modulus $D$. It is proved that $$ L(1,\chi)\gg (\log D)^{-2022} $$ where the implied constant is absolute and effectively computable. In the proof, the lower bound for $L(1,\chi)$ is first…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we establish explicit bounds in the $q$-aspect for the logarithmic derivative $\left(L'/L\right)\left(\sigma,\chi\right)$ of Dirichlet $L$-functions, where $\chi$ is a primitive character modulo…

Let $\chi_D$ be the Dirichlet character associated to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ where $D < 0$ is a fundamental discriminant. Improving Granville-Stark [DOI:10.1007/s002229900036], we show that \[ \frac{L'}{L}(1,\chi_D) = \frac{1}{6}\,…

Given a Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and its associated $L$-function, $L(s,\chi)$, we provide an explicit version of Burgess' estimate for $|L(s, \chi)|$. We use partial summation to provide bounds along the vertical lines $\Re{s}…

Let $L(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\dfrac{a(n)}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series were $a(n)$ is a bounded completely multiplicative function. We prove that if $L(s)$ extends to a holomorphic function on the open half space $\Re s >1-\delta$,…

Let $\chi$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,\chi )}{L(s,\chi)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be…

For any $\theta>\frac13$, we show that there are constants $c_1,c_2>0$ that depend only on $\theta$ for which the following property holds. If $\chi_1,\chi_2$ are two distinct primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $q$, and $T\ge…

In this paper we show that for every Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ and every $N\geq 2$ the Dirichlet series $L(s,\chi)+L(2s,\chi)+\cdots+L(Ns,\chi)$ have infinitely many zeros for $\sigma>1$. Moreover we show that for many general…

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.

We show that for a positive proportion of real primitive Dirichlet characters chi, the associated Dirichlet L-function L(s,chi) has no zeros on the positive real axis. Prior to this it was not known whether or not there were infinitely many…

Let $\chi$ be a real and non-principal Dirichlet character, $L(s,\chi)$ its Dirichlet $L$-function and let $p$ be a generic prime number. We prove the following result: If for some $0\leq \sigma<1$ the partial sums $\sum_{p\leq…

Let $\psi$ be a real primitive character modulo $D$. If the $L$-function $L(s,\psi)$ has a real zero close to $s=1$, known as a Landau-Siegel zero, then we say the character $\psi$ is exceptional. Under the hypothesis that such exceptional…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined modulo $q$, where $q\ge 3$. We prove, under the assumption of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, the validity of…
