We first consider questions on the distribution of the primes. Using the recent advancement towards the Prime k -tuple Conjecture by Maynard and Tao, we show how to produce infinitely many strings of consecutive primes satisfying specified congruence conditions. We answer an old question of Erdos and Turan by producing strings of consecutive primes whose successive gaps form an increasing (respectively decreasing) sequence. We also show that such strings exist whose successive gaps follow a certain divisibility pattern. Finally, for any coprime integers a and D ≥ 1, we refine a theorem of D. Shiu and find strings of consecutive primes of arbitrary length in the congruence class a mod D. These results were proved jointly with William D. Banks and Tristan Freiberg. We next consider the vertical distribution of the nontrivial zeros of certain Dedekind zeta-functions. In particular, let K be a quadratic number field. Using the mixed second moments of derivatives of the Dedekind zeta-function attached to K on the critical line, we prove the existence of gaps between consecutive zeros of the Dedekind zeta-function attached to K on the critical line which are at least 2.44949... times the average spacing. Finally, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and some standard conjectures, we prove upper bounds for moments of arbitrary products of automorphic L -functions and for Dedekind zeta-functions of Galois number fields on the critical line. As an application, we use these bounds to estimate the variance of the coefficients of these zeta- and L -functions in short intervals. We also prove upper bounds for moments of products of central values of automorphic L -functions twisted by quadratic Dirichlet characters and averaged over fundamental discriminants. These results were proved jointly with Micah B. Milinovich.

Abstract: This thesis is devoted to investigation of moments of automorphic L-functions, especially on the central values or the edges of the critical strip of automorphic L-functions. There are nine chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction and provides some background on the analytic theory of automorphic forms. Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are about L-functions associated to the holomorphic cusp forms, while Chapters 7, 8 and 9 are focused on the L-functions associated to the Maass forms. Chapter 2 is the study of the first moment of the symmetric-square L-functions associated to the holomorphic cusp forms. Asymptotic formulae for the twisted first moment of central values of the symmetric-square L-functions with harmonic weight, in the weight aspect are obtained. The result (in Theorem 2.1.1) extends and improves the known results in the literature. As an application, it is applied to derive an asymptotic formula for the first moment of central values of the symmetric-square L-functions without harmonic weight, under the assumption of the non-negativity of symmetric-square L-functions at the center of critical strip. Analogous new formulae without harmonic weight of the first and second moments of the Hecke L-functions are proved in Chapter 3. Unlike the case in Chapter 2, the results in Chapter 3 are unconditional. In Chapter 4, complex moments of the symmetric power L-functions of primitive forms at the edge of the critical strip twisted by the central values of the symmetric square L-functions, with or without harmonic weight, are investigated in the weight aspect. The similar problem in the level aspect was treated by Lau, Royer and Wu. The theme of Chapter 5, as well as Chapter 4, is to examine, in the weight aspect, complex moments of the symmetric power L-functions of primitive forms at the edge of the critical strip twisted by the central values of the square L-functions or the square of L-functions, with or without harmonic weight. All the above mentioned results, appeared in Chapters 4 and 5, are in the asymptotic form, that is, given by a formula consisting of a main term and an error term. Chapter 6 investigates the asymptotic behavior of the main terms of the results in Chapters 4 and 5. In particular, precise expansions of high moments are given. In Chapters 7, 8 and 9, the previous studies are carried over to Maass forms in the spectral aspect. The first two moments of central values of symmetric square L-functions associated to Maass forms are computed in Chapter 7. The first four moments of central values of L-functions associated to Maass forms are obtained in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 is to research the mixed moments of central values of symmetric square L-functions twisted by the central values of L-functions or the square of L-functions. These investigations for Maass form are not yet done in the literature. Subjects: L-functions Automorphic functions
A large number of problems in number theory can be reduced to statements about L-functions. In this thesis, we study L-functions at the edge of the critical strip, and relate these to a variety of objects of arithmetic interest.
L-functions are some of the most studied objects in number theory. Although many crucial properties of L-functions remain mysterious, central conjectures such as the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH). This thesis concerns properties of L-functions. In particular, we focus on studying upper bounds and moments of $L$-functions. Assuming GRH, we give effective explicit upper bounds for L-functions on the critical line and apply these bounds to determine what numbers are represented by a given ternary quadratic form. Moreover the best known version of the Lindelof hypothesis from the Riemann hypothesis (RH) is also derived. Another important way of understanding LH is through moments of L-functions. Information about moments sheds light on the distribution of values of \zeta(1/2 + it). We try to understand the joint distribution of quantities like \zeta(1/2 + it) and \zeta(1/2 + it + i). To study these we consider "shifted moments" of the zeta function and obtain good upper and lower estimates for such moments.
The thesis studies the integer-power moments of the central values of families of modular L-functions. The two families under consideration in the thesis are those quadratic twists of a L-function associated with a cusp from and L-functions of a Hecke-basis of the space of cusp forms. Applications of the moment estimates derived in the thesis include (1) a non-vanishing result (2) a zero density estimate for quadratic twisted L-functions.

We present in this dissertation several theorems on the subject of moments of automorphic L-functions. In chapter 1 we give an overview of this area of research and summarize our results. In chapter 2 we give asymptotic main term estimates for several different moments of central values of L-functions of a fixed GL_2 holomorphic cusp form f twisted by quadratic characters. When the sign of the functional equation of the twist L(s, f \otimes \chi_d) is -1, the central value vanishes and one instead studies the derivative L'(1/2, f \otimes \chi_d). We prove two theorems in the root number -1 case which are completely out of reach when the root number is +1. In chapter 3 we turn to an average of GL_2 objects. We study the family of cusp forms of level q^2 which are given by f \otimes \chi, where f is a modular form of prime level q and \chi is the quadratic character modulo q. We prove a precise asymptotic estimate uniform in shifts for the second moment with the purpose of understanding the off-diagonal main terms which arise in this family. In chapter 4 we prove an precise asymptotic estimate for averages of shifted convolution sums of Fourier coefficients of full-level GL_2 cusp forms over shifts. We find that there is a transition region which occurs when the square of the average over shifts is proportional to the length of the shifted sum. The asymptotic in this range depends very delicately on the constant of proportionality: its second derivative seems to be a continuous but nowhere differentiable function. We relate this phenomenon to periods of automorphic forms, multiple Dirichlet series, automorphic distributions, and moments of Rankin-Selberg L-functions.
These notes present recent results in the value-distribution theory of L-functions with emphasis on the phenomenon of universality. Universality has a strong impact on the zero-distribution: Riemann’s hypothesis is true only if the Riemann zeta-function can approximate itself uniformly. The text proves universality for polynomial Euler products. The authors’ approach follows mainly Bagchi's probabilistic method. Discussion touches on related topics: almost periodicity, density estimates, Nevanlinna theory, and functional independence.
We study moments and zeros of L-functions in this thesis. In Chapter 2, by following closely Soundararajan-Young's method, we prove an asymptotic for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. Unconditionally, we are able to give a sharp lower bound that agrees with Keating-Snaith's conjecture. In Chapter 3, we use a recursive method that was pioneered by Heath-Brown and developed by Young to give an asymptotic with an error O(X1/2+E) for the smoothed first moment of quadratic twists of modular L-functions. The result is analogous to Sono's work on the second moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions. It improves previous results of Iwaniec and Soundararajan-Radziwill. In Chapter 4, we obtain an explicit result for the number of zeros, in a box, of Dedekind zeta functions, which improves a result of Trudgian. Our argument is based on previous works of Bennett-Martin-O'Bryant-Rechnitzer, Kadiri-Ng and Trudgian.
Analytic Properties of Automorphic L-Functions is a three-chapter text that covers considerable research works on the automorphic L-functions attached by Langlands to reductive algebraic groups. Chapter I focuses on the analysis of Jacquet-Langlands methods and the Einstein series and Langlands’ so-called “Euler products . This chapter explains how local and global zeta-integrals are used to prove the analytic continuation and functional equations of the automorphic L-functions attached to GL(2). Chapter II deals with the developments and refinements of the zeta-inetgrals for GL(n). Chapter III describes the results for the L-functions L (s, ?, r), which are considered in the constant terms of Einstein series for some quasisplit reductive group. This book will be of value to undergraduate and graduate mathematics students.
