Bounds for moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet \(L\)-functions (Q2088118)

In the line of works by \textit{W. Heap} et al. [Q. J. Math. 70, No. 4, 1387--1396 (2019; Zbl 1469.11290)] and \textit{W. Heap} and \textit{K. Soundararajan} [``Lower bounds for moments of zeta and \(L\)-functions revisited'', Mathematika 68, No. 1, 1--14 (2022; \url{doi:10.1112/mtk.12115})] on moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line, the first author recently gave upper and lower bounds for moments of central values \(L(1/2,\chi)\), where \(\chi\) runs over a family of quadratic Dirichlet characters. In this paper, cubic and quartic characters are considered; upper and lower bounds of the same order of magnitude are obtained. The results are conditional to the generalized Lindelöf or Riemann hypothesis, except in the case of the sharp unconditional lower bound for \(2k\)-th moments of \(\lvert L(1/2,\chi)\rvert\) with \(\chi\) cubic and \(k \ge 1/2\).
