In this paper, we prove some zero density theorems for certain families of Dirichlet $L$-functions. More specifically, the subjects of our interest are the collections of Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with characters to moduli from…

We investigate the distribution of zeros of the little q-Jacobi polynomials and related q-hypergeometric families. We prove that the zeros of these orthogonal polynomials exhibit strong interlacing properties and obey natural monotonicity…

Local consistency arises in diverse areas, including Bayesian statistics, relational databases, and quantum foundations, and so does the notion of functional dependence. We adopt a general approach to study logical inference in a setting…

The family of skew-symmetric distributions is a wide set of probability density functions obtained by combining in a suitable form a few components which are selectable quite freely provided some simple requirements are satisfied. Intense…

Using the relations between rational functions and Eisenstein series, as well as the inferences for cotangent sums and period polynomials, we work out a precise description for Eisenstein series whose $L$-series vanish at certain critical…

The discovery of connections between the distribution of energy levels of heavy nuclei and spacings between prime numbers has been one of the most surprising and fruitful observations in the twentieth century. The connection between the two…

In [90] the first-named author gave a working definition of a family of automorphic L-functions. Since then there have been a number of works [33], [107], [67] [47], [66] and especially [98] by the second and third-named authors which make…

The paper deals with studying a connection of the Littlewood--Offord problem with estimating the concentration functions of some symmetric infinitely divisible distributions.

Selberg's central limit theorem states that the values of $\log|\zeta(1/2+i \tau)|$, where $\tau$ is a uniform random variable on $[T,2T]$, is distributed like a Gaussian random variable of mean $0$ and standard deviation…

We present a remarkably simple and surprisingly natural interpretation of the values of zeta functions at negative integers and zero. Namely we are able to relate these values to areas related to partial sums of powers. We apply these…

We prove special cases of the Ratios Conjecture for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over function fields. More specifically, we study the average of $L(1/2+\alpha,\chi_D)/L(1/2+\beta,\chi_D)$, when $D$ varies over monic,…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $s=\tfrac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we give a new and simple proof of the sharpest known bound for $S(t)$. We discuss a generalization of this bound…

Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling-Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of…

Let $d$ be a probability distribution. Under certain mild conditions we show that $$ \lim_{x\to\infty}x\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{d^{*n}(x)}{n}=1,\qquad\text{where}\quad d^{*n}:=\underbrace{\,d*d*\cdots*d\,}_{n\text{ times}}. $$ For a…

We describe a new method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for $L$-functions with mild hypotheses on the size of the Dirichlet coefficients. We verify these hypotheses for all automorphic $L$-functions and (with mild restrictions) the…

The Linnik phenomenon concerning the repelling effect of Siegel's zeros is extended to L-functions in a family wider than hitherto considered.

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture, we investigate the distribution of the sequences $(\log|\zeta(\rho+z)|)$ and $(\arg\zeta(\rho+z)).$ Here $\rho=\frac12+i\gamma$ runs over the nontrivial zeros of…

We find an explicit upper bound for general $L$-functions on the critical line, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, and give as illustrative examples its application to some families of $L$-functions and Dedekind zeta functions.…

In the context of mod-Gaussian convergence, as defined previously in our work with J. Jacod, we obtain lower bounds for local probabilities for a sequence of random vectors which are approximately Gaussian with increasing covariance. This…
