We prove the q-aspect analogue of Heath-Brown's result on the twelfth power moment of the Riemann zeta function for Dirichlet L-functions to odd prime power moduli. Our results rely on the p-adic method of stationary phase for sums of products and complement Nunes' bound for smooth square-free moduli.
We use the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method to estimate short character sums to smooth moduli. If $χ$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a squarefree, $q^δ$-smooth integer $q$ we show that $$L(\frac12,χ)\ll_εq^{\frac{27}{164}+O(δ)+ε}.$$
The Dirichlet characters of reduced residue systems modulo m are tabulated for moduli m <= 195. The associated L-series are tabulated for m <= 14 and small positive integer argument s accurate to 10^(-50), their first derivatives for m <= 6. Restricted summation over primes only defines Dirichlet Prime L-functions which lead to Euler products (Prime Zeta Modulo functions). Both are materialized over similar ranges of moduli and arguments. Formulas and numerical techniques are well known; the aim is to provide direct access to reference values.

In this paper, we study the $k$-th moment of central values of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions of moduli $8p$, with $p$ ranging over odd primes. Assuming the truth of the generlized Riemann hypothesis, we establish sharp upper and lower bounds for the $k$-th power moment of these $L$-values for all real $k \geq 0$.
We prove a subconvexity bound for the central value L(1/2, chi) of a Dirichlet L-function of a character chi to a prime power modulus q=p^n of the form L(1/2, chi)\ll p^r * q^(theta+epsilon) with a fixed r and theta\approx 0.1645 < 1/6, breaking the long-standing Weyl exponent barrier. In fact, we develop a general new theory of estimation of short exponential sums involving p-adically analytic phases, which can be naturally seen as a p-adic analogue of the method of exponent pairs. This new method is presented in a ready-to-use form and applies to a wide class of well-behaved phases including…
The asymptotic formula of the fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central value was predicted in a conjecture by J. B. Conrey, D. W. Farmer, J. P. Keating, M. O. Rubinstein, and N. C. Snaith, and the prime moduli case was proved by M. P. Young in 2011. This work establishes this asymptotic formula for general moduli. The work relies on the study of a special divisor sum function, called $\mathcal{D}_q$-function, which plays a key role in deducing the main terms. Another key ingredient is an application of new bounds for double sums in Kloosterman sums, applied in the estimate of th…
Let $M=M_1 M_2 M_3$ be the product of three distinct primes and let $χ=χ_1 χ_2 χ_3$ be a Dirichlet character of modulus $M$ such that each $χ_i$ is a primitive character modulo $M_i$ for $i=1,2,3$. In this paper, we provide a $δ$-symbol method for obtaining non-trivial cancellation in smooth character sums of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty χ(n) W(n/N)$, with $N$ roughly of size $\sqrt M$ and $W$ a smooth compactly supported weight function on $(0, \infty)$. As a corollary, we establish hybrid subconvexity bounds for the associated Dirichlet $L$-function.
In this paper, we establish the expected order of magnitude of the $k$th-moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ as well as of prime moduli over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for all real $k \geq 0$.
In this paper we provide an explicit construction of a $distinctive$ multiple Dirichlet series associated to products of quadratic Dirichlet L-series, which we believe should be tightly connected to a generalized metaplectic Whittaker function on the double cover of a Kac-Moody group. To do so, we first impose a set of axioms, independent of any group of functional equations, which the aforementioned object should satisfy. As a consequence, we deduce that the coefficients of the $p$-parts of the multiple Dirichlet series satisfy certain recurrence relations. These relations lead to a family of…
We study the first moments of central values of Hecke $L$-functions associated with quadratic, cubic and quartic symbols to prime moduli. This also enables us to obtain results on first moments of central values of certain families of cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions of prime moduli.
The Postnikov character formula is used to express large portions of a Dirichlet character sum in terms of quadratic exponential sums. The quadratic sums are then computed using an analytic algorithm previously derived by the author. This leads to a power-saving if the modulus is smooth enough. As an application, a fast, and potentially practical, method to compute Dirichlet L-functions with complexity exponent 1/3 for smooth enough moduli is derived.
We prove an asymptotic for the eighth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over primitive characters $χ$ modulo $q$, over all moduli $q\leq Q$ and with a short average on the critical line, conditionally on GRH. We derive the analogous result for the fourth moment of Dirichlet twists of GL(2) L-functions. Our results match the moment conjectures in the literature; in particular, the constant 24024 appears as a factor in the leading order term of the eighth moment.
We evaluate some twisted fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point s=1/2 and for prime moduli q. The principal tool is a careful analysis of a shifted convolution problem involving the divisor function using spectral theory of automorphic forms and bounds for bilinear forms in Kloosterman sums. Having in mind simultaneous non vanishing results, we apply the Theorem to establish an asymptotic formula of a mollified fourth moment for this family of $L$-functions
We prove a formula, with power savings, for the sixth moment of Dirichlet L-functions averaged over moduli $q$, over primitive characters $χ$ modulo $q$, and over the critical line. Our formula agrees precisely with predictions motivated by random matrix theory. In particular, the constant 42 appears as a factor in the leading order term, exactly as is predicted for the sixth moment of the Riemann zeta-function.
We investigate the Shintani zeta functions associated to the prehomogeneous spaces, the example under consideration is the set of $2 \times 2\times 2$ integer cubes. We show that there are three relative invariants under a certain parabolic group action, they all have arithmetic nature and completely determine the equivalence classes. We show that the associated Shintani zeta function coincides with the $A_3$ Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series. Finally, we show that the set of semi-stable integer orbits maps finitely and surjectively to a certain moduli space.

Let $Δ(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|ζ(1/2 + it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2πΔ^*(t/(2π))$ with $Δ^*(x) = - Δ(x) +2Δ(2x)- {1\over2}Δ(4x)$, then we obtain $$ \int_0^T(E^*(t))^4 dt \ll_εT^{16/19+varepsilon}$$, which is the first non-trivial bound for higher moments of $E^*(t)$. The method of proof also provides an upper bound for sums of fourth powers of mean square integrals of $|ζ(1/2 + it)|$ over well-spaced points. This, in turn, yields a new proof of the twelfth moment estimate for $|ζ(1/2…
We extend the work of Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel on correlation between Hecke eigenvalues of modular forms and algebraic trace functions in order to establish an asymptotic formula for a generalized cubic moment of modular L-functions at the central point s = 1/2 and for prime moduli q. As an application, we exploit our recent result on the mollification of the fourth moment of Dirichlet L-functions to derive that for any pair $(ω_1,ω_2)$ of multiplicative characters modulo q, there is a positive proportion of $χ$ (mod q) such that $L(χ, 1/2 ), L(χω_1, 1/2 )$ and $L(χω_2, 1/2)$ are simultaneo…
For positive integers $q$, Dirichlet's theorem states that there are infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo $q$. A stronger form of the theorem states that the primes are equidistributed among the $φ(q)$ reduced residue classes modulo $q$. This paper considers patterns of sequences of consecutive primes $(p_n, p_{n+1}, \ldots, p_{n+k})$ modulo $q$. Numerical evidence suggests a preference for certain prime patterns. For example, computed frequencies of the pattern $(a,a)$ modulo $q$ up to $x$ are much less than the expected frequency $π(x)/φ(q)^2$. We begin to rigorously c…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions, we improve on the error term in a smoothed version of an estimate for the density of elliptic curves with square-free $Δ=D/16$, where D is the discriminant, by T.D. Browning and the author. To achieve this improvement, we elaborate on our methods for counting weighted solutions of inhomogeneous cubic congruences to power-ful moduli. The novelty lies in going a step further in the explicit evaluation of complete exponential sums and saving a factor by averaging over the moduli.
In this paper, we confirm a smoothed version of a recent conjecture on the variance of the k-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to individual composite moduli, in a restricted range. In contrast to a previous result of Rodgers and Soundararajan, we do not require averaging over the moduli. Our proof adapts a technique of S. Lester who treated in the same range the variance of the k-fold divisor function in the short intervals setting, and is based on a smoothed Voronoi summation formula but twisted by multiplicative characters. The use of Dirichlet characters allows us to extend …
We study short sums of algebraic trace functions via the $q$-analogue of van der Corput method, and develop methods of arithmetic exponent pairs that coincide with the classical case while the moduli has sufficiently good factorizations. As an application, we prove a quadratic analogue of Brun-Titchmarsh theorem on average, bounding the number of primes $p\leqslant X$ with $p^2+1\equiv0\pmod q$. The other two applications include a larger level of distribution of divisor functions in arithmetic progressions and a sub-Weyl subconvex bound of Dirichlet $L$-functions studied previously by Irving.
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish explicit formulae for $ψ(x,χ)$, $θ(x,χ)$, and an explicit version of the prime number theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions that hold for general moduli $q\geq 3$. Finally, we restrict our attention to $q\leq 10\,000$ and use an exact computation to refine these results.
