Twisted moments of L-functions and spectral reciprocity

Twisted Moments of Automorphic L-functions

We study the moments of the symmetric power L-functions of primitive forms at the edge of the critical strip twisted by the square of the value of the standard L-function at the center of the critical strip. We give a precise expansion of the moments as the order goes to infinity. CONTENTS

The Reciprocity Law for the Twisted Second Moment of Dirichlet L-functions

We produce a new proof of the reciprocity law for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet L-functions that was recently proved by Conrey. Our method is to analyze certain two-variable sums where the variables satisfy a linear congruence. We show that these sums satisfy an elegant reciprocity formula. In the case that the modulus is prime, these sums are closely related to the twisted second mome...

Integral Moments of L-functions

We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L-functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our conjectures also have an almost identical form to exact expressions for the corresponding moments of the characteristic polynomials of either unitary, orthogonal, or symplectic matrices, where the mom...

L-functions of Twisted Legendre Curves

Let K be a global field of char p and let Fq be the algebraic closure of Fp in K. For an elliptic curve E/K with non-constant j-invariant, the L-function L(T,E/K) is a polynomial in 1+T ·Z[T ]. For any N > 1 invertible in K and finite subgroup T ⊂ E(K) of order N , we compute the mod N reduction of L(T,E/K) and determine an upper-bound for the order of vanishing at 1/q, the so-called analytic r...
