Discrepancy bounds for the distribution of $L$-functions near the critical line

Abstract

We investigate the joint distribution of $L$-functions on the line $ \sigma= \frac12 + \frac1{G(T)}$ and $ t \in [ T, 2T]$, where $ \log \log T \leq G(T) \leq \frac{ \log T}{ ( \log \log T)^2 } $. We obtain an upper bound on the discrepancy between the joint distribution of $L$-functions and that of their random models. As an application we prove an asymptotic expansion of a multi-dimensional version of Selberg's central limit theorem for $L$-functions on $ \sigma= \frac12 + \frac1{G(T)}$ and $ t \in [ T, 2T]$, where $ ( \log T)^\epsilon \leq G(T) \leq \frac{ \log T}{ ( \log \log T)^{2+\epsilon } } $ for $ \epsilon > 0$.
