Abstract

We give explicit upper and lower bounds for $N(T,χ)$, the number of zeros of a Dirichlet $L$-function with character $χ$ and height at most $T$. Suppose that $χ$ has conductor $q>1$, and that $T\geq 5/7$. If $\ell=\log\frac{q(T+2)}{2π}> 1.567$, then \begin{equation*} \left| N(T,χ) - \left( \frac{T}π \log\frac{qT}{2πe} -\frac{χ(-1)}{4}\right) \right| \le 0.22737 \ell + 2 \log(1+\ell) - 0.5. \end{equation*} We give slightly stronger results for small $q$ and $T$. Along the way, we prove a new bound on $|L(s,χ)|$ for $σ<-1/2$.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
