Average nonvanishing of Dirichlet L-functions at the central point

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: The Generalized Riemann Hypothesis implies that at least 50% of the central values Lleft(frac12,chiight) are non-vanishing as chi ranges over primitive characters modulo q. We show that one may unconditionally go beyond GRH, in the sense that if one averages over primitive characters modulo q and averages q over an interval, then at least 50.073% of the central values are non-vanishing. The proof utilizes the mollification method with a three-piece mollifier, and relies on estimates for sums of Kloosterman sums due to Deshouillers and Iwaniec.
