Two of their attached data carry critical information: their zeros\, which govern the distributional behavior of underlying objects; and their central values\, which are related to invariants such as the class number of a field extension. \nWe will discuss the important conjectures\, one concerning the distribution of the zeros and one concerning the distribution of the central values\, and explain a general principle that any restricted result towards the first conjecture can be refined to show that most corresponding central values have the typical distribution predicted by the second conjecture. We will instantiate this general principle for a wide class of L-functions\, and provide a more detailed discussion in the case of L-functions attached to modular forms.

We extend to Dirichlet L-functions associated with arbitrary primitive characters a range of objects and properties—including Eisenstein series and period functions—that were originally introduced and studied by Lewis and Zagier\, and later by Bettin and Conrey in the case of the Riemann zeta function\, and more recently by Lewis and Zagier for odd real characters. These tools yield closed-form expressions for the moments of a measure defined via a weighted mean square of the L-function. These moments not only provide a complete characterization of the modulus of the L-function on the critical line\, but also imply an infinite number of non-trivial positivity conditions valid for all primitive characters\, real or not.
