Extreme values of derivatives of Dedekind zeta functions on the $1$-line

In this paper, we establish lower bounds for extreme values of derivatives of Dedekind zeta functions on the \(1\)-line over arbitrary fixed number fields. Our result extends Yang's corresponding estimate for the Riemann zeta function in 2024, with the leading constant involving residues of Dedekind zeta functions and a moment of the Dickman function. A key ingredient is a uniform asymptotic formula for weighted friable sums involving the coefficients of Dedekind zeta functions.

Large values of derivatives of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions

e study large values of fixed derivatives of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions on the real segment $1/2\leqσ\leq1$. Assuming GRH, we prove lower bounds in terms of GCD sums and finite Euler products. At the central point, every fixed derivative order is compared with the same square-free GCD sum. In the mesoscopic band $σ=1/2+A/\log_2X$, a renormalized resonator estimates contributions from both halves of the differentiated approximate functional equation. The resulting lower bound has a relative error. On a smaller boundary scale, a common finite product appears in both contributions to this lower bound. This allows us to locate the crossover between their derivative weights. The coarser exponential bounds have constant $1$ at the center and $\mathrm e^{-A}$ in the mesoscopic band. For fixed $1/2<σ<1$, the lower bound includes the full typical logarithmic weight of the resonating Euler product. Burgess truncation improves the exponential constant when a shorter cutoff allows a longer resonator. Near the $1$-line, our lower bounds involve Dickman constants on the $1/\log_2X$ scale. We also prove a uniform transition estimate outside a shrinking neighborhood of the central point. All results hold in the positive even subfamily of fundamental discriminants.

Extreme values of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line with a growing prime modulus

In this paper, we obtain extreme values of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line with a growing prime modulus. Our result yields a larger lower bound for extreme values than that from Soundararajan's classical resonance method. Consequently, we show that one branch of the dichotomy established by Bondarenko, Darbar, Hagen, Heap, and Seip (2023) can be realized for this family of Dirichlet $L$-functions. The proof relies on the resonance method together with precise estimates for GCD sums.

Large values of the Hurwitz zeta function with rational parameter

In this paper, we establish lower bounds for large values of the Hurwitz zeta function with rational parameter when the real part $σ\in [1/2,1]$. These results improve the earlier results of Ramachandra and Sankaranarayanan in 1989. On the critical line, our result recovers the corresponding lower bound of de la Bretèche and Tenenbaum (2019) for the Riemann zeta function, while for $1/2< σ\leq 1$, our lower bounds attain the same order as the corresponding lower bounds for large values of the Riemann zeta function. Our proofs are based on the resonance method.

Large values of quadratic character sums

In this paper, we investigate large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. We prove new Omega results for both short and long quadratic character sums under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), which improve the previous results.

Extreme values of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions

In this paper, we investigate extreme values of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point. We provide new extreme values of $L(\frac12,χ_d)$ as $d$ is large, which improves the recent result of Darbar and Maiti.

An Omega result for partial sums of the Riemann zeta function

In this paper, we establish an Omega result for partial sums of the Riemann zeta function on the \(1\)-line. Our work relies on the long resonance method and an effective asymptotic formula for smooth numbers. For sufficiently long partial sums, our result approaches the work obtained by Aistleitner, Mahatab and Munsch in 2019.

Extreme values of derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-functions

In this paper, we establish lower bounds for extreme values of derivatives of Dirichlet \(L\)-functions in the range \(1/2<σ<1\). Compared with the work of Aistleitner, Mahatab, Munsch, and Peyrot in 2019, our result shows that derivatives of Dirichlet \(L\)-functions can attain extreme values of the same order of magnitude as the original \(L\)-functions when \(1/2<σ<1\) holds.

Extreme values of the real part of the Riemann zeta function

In this paper, we establish lower bounds for extreme values of the real part of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. This work relies on the resonance method of Bondarenko and Seip, together with lower bounds for certain integrals associated with Dirichlet series with non-negative coefficients. Our results extend the work of Bondarenko and Seip (2018).

Extreme values of derivatives of the Dedekind zeta function of a cyclotomic field

In this paper, we establish a lower bound for the maximum of derivatives of the Dedekind zeta function of a cyclotomic field on the critical line. Employing a double version convolution formula and combing special GCD sums, our result generalizes the work of Bondarenko et al. in 2023. We also set a lower bound by the resonance method when the real part is near the critical line, both of the above results refine part of Yang's work in 2022.

Joint extreme values of the Riemann zeta function at harmonic points

Using the resonance method, we obtain refined estimates for joint extreme values of the Riemann zeta function at harmonic points, improving upon Levinson's 1972 results and providing new insight into the behavior of the Riemann zeta function. Our proof is primarily based on Dirichlet series theory and the truncated Euler product for the Riemann zeta function. As a corollary, we can recover some previously known extreme value results for the zeta function.
