Abstract

Let $f$ be a primitive holomorphic cusp form of arbitrary weight, level and nebentypus. We prove $\int_0^T|L(1/2+it,f)|^6\,dt\ll_{f,\epsilon}T^{2+\epsilon}$, extending Jutila's level-one theorem. The new ingredient is a large sieve comparing the stationary phases in the Booker-Milinovich-Ng transformation at different heights. Applications include moments of order $T^{1+\epsilon}$ on every line to the right of the critical line, $\Omega(T^{4/35-\epsilon})$ simple zeros, zero density estimates, and bounds for cubic-field power sums, shifted convolution sums and the general divisor problem.

A quadratic critical-value conjecture for the fifth Bessel moment

We conjecture an explicit evaluation of the pure fifth Bessel moment $\int_0^\infty K_0(t)^5\,dt$ as a quadratic expression in the critical value $L(f,2)$ of the weight-three, level-60 newform $f$ (LMFDB orbit 60.3.b.a) identified in the twisted fifth-moment modularity theorem of Lim, Tu and Yu, with coefficients in $\...

A secondary term in the first moment of cubic $L$-functions over function fields

Let $q$ be a fixed odd prime power with $q\equiv2\pmod3$. We study the first moment of primitive cubic Dirichlet $L$-functions over $\Fq(T)$, ordered by their genus. By averaging the rational sieve variable in the double Dirichlet series of Hong and Fang, we obtain meromorphic continuation beyond the secondary polar di...

The first moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in the even hyperelliptic ensemble

We establish an asymptotic formula for the first moment of the central values of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions in the even hyperelliptic ensemble $\mathcal{H}_{2g+2}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, for every fixed odd prime power $q$. Working with the completed $L$-function yields an exact two-term central-value formula w...

Toeplitz determinants for starlike mappings of order {\alpha} in several complex variables

Let $F(z)=zf(z)$, where $f$ is a normalized scalar holomorphic function on the unit ball $\mathbb B$ of a complex Banach space $X$ or on the unit polydisk $\mathbb U^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$. We establish sharp bounds for two Toeplitz determinants involving the second, third and fourth Fr\'echet derivatives of $F$ when $F$...

$L^p$-regularity for fourth-order Schr\"odinger operators with unbounded or degenerate coefficients

We prove that operators of the form $A=-\Delta^{2}-V(x)$, with $|D V(x)|\leq \gamma V(x)^\frac{5}{4}+ C_\gamma$ for some $\gamma$ small enough and $C_\gamma$ positive constant, generate analytic semigroups in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $1\leq p<\infty$ and in $C_0(\mathbb{R}^N)$. Moreover, we characterize the maximal doma...

A New Bound for the Gauss Circle Problem

Let $E(X)=\#\{(a,b)\in\Z^2:a^2+b^2\le X\}-\pi X$. We prove that $E(X)=O_\varepsilon(X^{209/670+\varepsilon})$ for every $\varepsilon>0$, uniformly for real $X\ge4$. This breaks the $5/16$ threshold suggested by Huxley as a possible limit of the Bombieri--Iwaniec method at the time. The proof introduces two refinements:...
