We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

Let $F$ be a linear combination of $N\geq 1$ Dirichlet $L$-functions attached to even (or odd) primitive characters with the same modulus. Selberg proved that a positive proportion of non-trivial zeros of $F$ lie on the critical line. Our…

In this paper, we investigate the conditional large values of the quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions near the central point $s=1/2$. When $\sigma $ closes to $1/2$ within a suitable range, we show that $L(\sigma, \chi_d)$ have the…

Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, and $L(s,\chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-functions corresponding to $\chi$. In this paper, we show some special function series, and give some new identities for the…

Dirichlet's theorem guarantees infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo q, but the analytic mechanism underlying this separation is often difficult to visualize directly. In this article we construct simplified…

In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…

We study the $1$-level density and the pair correlation of zeros of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in function fields, as we average over the ensemble $\mathcal{H}_{2g+1}$ of monic, square-free polynomials with coefficients in…

For a family of real quadratic fields $\{K_n=\FQ(\sqrt{f(n)})\}_{n\in \FN}$, a Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and prescribed ideals $\{\fb_n\subset K_n\}$, we investigate the linear behaviour of the special value of partial Hecke's…

The main objects of study in this article are two classes of Rankin-Selberg L-unctions, namely L(s, f \times g) and L(s, sym^2(g) \times sym^2(g)), where f, g are newforms, holomorphic or of Maass type, on the upper half plane, and sym^2(g)…

In this paper, we prove the simultaneous non-vanishing of four Dirichlet $L$-functions at any point on the critical line. More precisely, let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_4$ be even Dirichlet characters modulo $D_1,\ldots, D_4$ respectively, where…

Given a number field $L\neq \mathbb{Q}$, we obtain new and explicit zero-free regions for Dedekind zeta-functions of $L$, which refine the previous works of Ahn--Kwon, Kadiri, and Lee. In particular, for low-lying zeros, we extend Kadiri's…

As we have shown several years ago [Y2], zeros of $L(s, \Delta )$ and $L^(2)(s, \Delta )$ can be calculated quite efficiently by a certain experimental method. Here $\Delta$ denotes the cusp form of weight 12 with respect to SL$(2, Z)$ and…

Set $K=\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and suppose that $c\in \mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a square-free algebraic integer with $c\equiv 1 \imod{\langle16\rangle}$. Let $L(s,\chi_{c})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function associated with the quartic residue character modulo…

In this article, we give explicit bounds of order $\log t$ for $\sigma$ close to $1$, for two quantities: $|\zeta'(\sigma +it)/\zeta(\sigma +it)|$ and $|1/\zeta(\sigma +it)|$. We correct an error in the literature, and especially in the…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $z\in \mathbb{C}$ is a variable and $q\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<|q|<1$, is a parameter. Set $\alpha _0~:=~\sqrt{3}/2\pi ~=~0.2756644477\ldots$. We…

We study the $1$-level density of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions attached to real primitive characters of conductor at most $X$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we give an asymptotic expansion of this quantity in…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character mod $D$ with $L(s,\chi)$ its associated $L$-function, and let $\psi(x,q,a)$ be, as usual, Chebyshev's prime-counting function for the primes of the arithmetic progression $a$ (mod $q$) with $(a,q)=1$. For…

We give explicit and extended versions of some of Siegel's results. We extend the validity of Siegel's asymptotic development in the second quadrant to most of the third quadrant. We also give precise bounds of the error; this allows us to…

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 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…
