Abstract: We obtain an asymptotic formula for the first moment of quadratic Dirichlet L--functions over function fields at the central point s=frac12. Specifically, we compute the expected value of L(frac12,chi) for an ensemble of hyperelliptic curves of genus g over a fixed finite field as gightarrowinfty. Our approach relies on the use of the analogue of the approximate functional equation for such L--functions. The results presented here are the function field analogues of those obtained previously by Jutila in the number-field setting and are consistent with recent general conjectures for the moments of L--functions motivated by Random Matrix Theory.
