Kronecker limit formula for real quadratic number fields (III)

For a kind ofL-function of the real quadratic number fields, we prove a Kronecker limit formula which generalized a result of Hecke. And taking an example we give an interesting identity on a fundamental unit of such a field     

Overpartitions and real quadratic fields

It is shown that counting certain differences of overpartition functions is equivalent to counting elements of a given norm in appropriate real quadratic fields.     

Special values of L-functions of elliptic curves over Q and their base change to real quadratic fields

For an elliptic curve E over Q, and a real quadratic extension F of Q, satisfying suitable hypotheses, we study the algebraic part of certain twisted L-values for E/F. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture predicts that these L-values are squares of rational numbers. We show that this question is related to the ratio of Petersson inner products of a quaternionic form on a definite quaternion algebra over Q and its base change to F.     

On the number of real quadratic fields with class number divisible by 3

We find a lower bound for the number of real quadratic fields whose class groups have an element of order . More precisely, we establish that the number of real quadratic fields whose absolute discriminant is and whose class group has an element of order is improving the existing best known bound of R. Murty.

The main purpose of this paper is using estimates for character sums and analytic methods to study the second, fourth, and sixth order moments of generalized quadratic Gauss sums weighted by L-functions. Three asymptotic formulae are obtained.

Normal forms for real quadratic forms

We investigate the non-diagonal normal forms of a quadratic form on , in particular for n = 3. For this case it is shown that the set of normal forms is the closure of a 5-dimensional submanifold in the 6-dimensional Grassmannian of 2-dimensional subspaces of . Received: 27 June 2008     

On the exceptional fields for a class of real quadratic fields

In this paper, we give a lower bound exp(2.2 × 10~8 ) for those discriminants of real quadratic fields Q(√ d) with d= N~2-4 and h(d)=1.     

Stark conjectures for CM elliptic curves over number fields

We present an elliptic curve analog of the Stark conjecture for the value of the L-function at s=0. Although implied by the general Beilinson conjectures, the approach here is very concrete. Several cases are proved.     

Towers of surfaces dominated by products of curves and elliptic curves of large rank over function fields

With the goal of producing elliptic curves and higher-dimensional abelian varieties of large rank over function fields, we provide a geometric construction of towers of surfaces dominated by products of curves; in the case where the surface is defined over a finite field our construction yields families of smooth, projective curves whose Jacobians satisfy the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. As an immediate application of our work we employ known results on analytic ranks of abelian varieties defined in towers of function field extensions, producing a one-parameter family of elliptic curves over Fq(t1/d) whose members obtain arbitrarily large rank as d→∞.     

On quadratic fields generated by polynomials

Let be a polynomial of degree d ≥ 2 without multiple roots. Under the assumption of the ABC-conjecture, an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct fields among for has recently been given by Cutter, Granville, and Tucker. We use bounds for character sums to obtain an unconditional lower bound on the number of such fields for . Received: 19 November 2007     

Mock period functions in higher level cases

Generalizing the results of Bringmann, Diamantis and Raum [3] we investigate a generating series of non-critical values which can be interpreted as a mock period function and prove that non-critical values can be encoded into a sesquiharmonic Maass form in higher level cases. Moreover we prove Eichler–Shimura-type isomorphism for the space of period polynomials and for that of mock period functions in level p   with p∈{2,3}$p\in \{2,3\}$.     

On the mean value of L-functions with the weight of character sums

The main purpose of this paper is using the estimate for character sums and the analytic method to study the mean value of the Dirichlet L-functions with the weight of character sums, and give an interesting mean value theorem.     

On some functional relations between Mordell-Tornheim double L-functions and Dirichlet L-functions

In the past decade, many relation formulas for the multiple zeta values, further for the multiple L-values at positive integers have been discovered. Recently Matsumoto suggested that it is important to reveal whether those relations are valid only at integer points, or valid also at other values. Indeed the famous Euler formula for ζ(2k) can be regarded as a part of the functional equation of ζ(s). In this paper, we give certain analytic functional relations between the Mordell-Tornheim double L-functions and the Dirichlet L-functions of conductor 3 and 4. These can be regarded as continuous generalizations of the known discrete relations between the Mordell-Tornheim L-values and the Dirichlet L-values of conductor 3 and 4 at positive integers.     

Lower order terms in the full moment conjecture for the Riemann zeta function

We describe an algorithm for obtaining explicit expressions for lower terms for the conjectured full asymptotics of the moments of the Riemann zeta function, and give two distinct methods for obtaining numerical values of these coefficients. We also provide some numerical evidence in favor of the conjecture.     

On the behavior of some two-variable p-adic L-functions

We give some p-adic integral representations for the two-variable p-adic L-functions introduced recently by G. Fox. For powers of the Teichmüller character, we use the integral representation to extend the L-function to a larger domain, in which it is a meromorphic function in the first variable and an analytic element in the second. These integral representations imply systems of congruences for the generalized Bernoulli polynomials, improving previous results of Fox, Gunaratne, and the author; they also lead to generalizations of some formulas of Diamond and of Ferrero and Greenberg for p-adic L-functions in terms of the p-adic gamma and log gamma functions.     

A Limit Theorem for Dirichlet L-Functions

We prove a limit theorem on the weak convergence of probability measures in the space of continuous functions for Dirichlet L-functions. The result generalizes a similar theorem for the Riemann zeta-function.     

A formula for the Mahler measure of axy+bx+cy+d

We introduce a formula for the Mahler measure of axy+bx+cy+d with complex coefficients a,b,c, and d and give examples which demonstrate a connection with L-functions. We then prove a generalization of Maillot's formula when the coefficients are real. Next, we discuss operations on the coefficients which fix the Mahler measure. Finally, we prove an alternate formulation of the main result in order to calculate the Mahler measure of a two-parameter family of polynomials in three variables.     

Bailey pairs and indefinite quadratic forms

We construct classes of Bailey pairs where the exponent of q   in _αn${\alpha }_n$ is an indefinite quadratic form. As an application we obtain families of q-hypergeometric mock theta multisums.     

Some examples of Mahler measures as multiple polylogarithms

The Mahler measures of certain polynomials of up to five variables are given in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Each formula is homogeneous and its weight coincides with the number of variables of the corresponding polynomial.
