In 1970, Huxley obtained a sharp upper bound for the sixth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point, averaged over primitive characters $\chi$ modulo $q$ and all moduli $q \leq Q$. In 2007, as an application of their ``asymptotic large sieve'', Conrey, Iwaniec and Soundararajan showed that when an additional short $t$-averaging is introduced into the problem, an asymptotic can be obtained. In this paper we show that this extraneous averaging can be removed, and we thus obtain an asymptotic for the original moment problem considered by Huxley. The main new difficulty in our work is the appearance of certain challenging ``unbalanced'' sums that arise as soon as the $t$-aspect averaging is removed.

    At least 1/9 of zeros of L(s, Π₀ × χ) lie on the critical line for large Q, with new power-saving mean square asymptotics for PGL(3) twists (unconditional if self-dual) and stronger results for PGL(2).

  2. Simultaneous non-vanishing of Dirichlet L-functions

    math.NT 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Under GRH, four twisted Dirichlet L-functions at 1/2 + it are simultaneously non-zero for a positive proportion of characters χ mod q (q prime, sufficiently large); unconditionally, this holds for infinitely many χ bu...
