We show that for a positive proportion of fundamental discriminants d, L(1/2,chi_d) != 0. Here chi_d is the primitive quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor d.

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 present a simple analytic proof that L-functions of real non-principal Dirichlet characters are nonzero at 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 propose a numerical method for approximating and discovering zeros of the Dirichlet L-function L(s, chi) corresponding to real Dirichlet characters chi.

For any integer $d\geq 3$ such that $-d$ is a fundamental discriminant, we show that the Dirichlet $L$-function associated with the real primitive character $\chi(\cdot)=(\frac{-d}{\cdot})$ does not vanish on the positive part of the…

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…

In this paper, we estimate the proportion of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. Using Feng's mollifier and an asymptotic formula for the mean square of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we prove that averaged over primitive…

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…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be a fixed Dirichlet $L$-function. Given a vertical arithmetic progression of $T$ points on the line $\Re(s)=1/2$, we show that $\gg T \log T$ of them are not zeros of $L(s,\chi)$. This result provides some theoretical…

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the imaginary parts of zeros near the real axis of Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to the quadratic characters $\chi_{p}(\cdot)=(\cdot |p)$ with $p$ a prime number. Assuming the…

We study real zeros of a family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field to show that more than twenty percent of the members have no zeros on the interval $(0, 1]$.

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-…

Y\i ld\i r\i m has classified zeros of the derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions into trivial zeros, nontrivial zeros and vagrant zeros. In this paper we remove the possibility of vagrant zeros for $L'(s,\chi)$ when the conductors are…

In this paper, we give Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients that have Riemann's functional equation and real zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. The details are as follows. Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function and $G(\chi)$ be…

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…

We study non-vanishing of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point under the unlikely assumption that there exists an exceptional Dirichlet character. In particular we prove that if $\psi$ is a real primitive character modulo $D \in…

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…

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…

We prove that more than nine percent of the central values $L(\frac{1}{2},\chi_p)$ are non-zero, where $p\equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ ranges over primes and $\chi_p$ is the real primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $p$. Previously, it was not…
