The theoretical computing of special values assumed by the hypergeometric functions has a high interest not only on its own, but also in sight of the remarkable implications to both pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Accordingly, in…

In this paper, we study central values of the family of quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions of moduli $8p$, with $p$ ranging over odd primes. Assuming the truth of the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we establish a positive proportion…

In this paper, we prove the extreme values of $L$-functions at the central point for almost prime quadratic twists of an elliptic curve. As an application, we get the extreme values for the Tate--Shafarevich groups in the quadratic twist…

We give a characterisation of the field into which quotients of values of L-functions associated to a cusp form belong. The construction involves shifted convolution series of divisor sums and to establish it we combine parts of F. Brown's…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, with associated quadratic character $\alpha$. We construct an analytic $p$-adic $L$-function interpolating the twisted adjoint $L$-values $L(1, \mathrm{ad}(f) \otimes \alpha)$ as $f$ varies in a Hida…

In this paper an explicit formula is given for a sequence of numbers. The positivity of this sequence of numbers implies that zeros in the critical strip of the Euler product of Hecke polynomials, which are associated with the space of cusp…

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)…

The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples of L-functions over function fields vanishing to…

We study the $2k$-th moment at the central point of the family of symmetric square $L$-functions attached to holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of level one, weight $\kappa$. We establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 1/2$…

We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of modular $L$-functions to a fixed modulus as well as quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Our results are then used to establish bounds for…

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…

We establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields. As an application, we prove some bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums over function fields.

Let $-D < -4$ denote a fundamental discriminant which is either odd or divisible by 8, so that the canonical Hecke character of $\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ exists. Let $d$ be a fundamental discriminant prime to $D$. Let $2k-1$ be an odd natural…

We present a theta function representation of the twisted characters for the rational N=2 superconformal field theory, and discuss the Jacobi-form like functional properties of these characters for a fixed central charge under the action of…

In this paper, we investigate the derivatives of L-functions, in particular, the Riemann zeta function, the Hasse-Weil L-function, the Rankin L-function and the Artin L-function, and survey the relations between the derivatives of…

We prove finite field analogues of integral representations of Appell- Lauricella hypergeometric functions in many variables. We consider certain hypersurfaces having a group action and compute the numbers of rational points associated with…

We obtain a lower bound on the number of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over the rational function field which vanish at the central point $s = 1/2$. This is in contrast with the situation over the rational numbers, where a conjecture of…

We introduce a "resonance" method to produce large values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ and large and small central values of $L$-functions.

We present an efficient algorithm for computing certain special values of Rankin triple product $p$-adic L-functions and give an application of this to the explicit construction of rational points on elliptic curves.

We prove a Burgess-like subconvex bound for twisted L-functions of a fixed irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(2) over a totally real number field. The proof is based on a spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums…
