Abstract:

I will discuss the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions where we prove an asymptotic formula with four main terms unconditionally. Previously, the asymptotic formula was established with the leading main term under generalized Riemann hypothesis. This work is based on Li's recent work on the second moment of quadratic twists of modular L-functions. It is joint work with Joshua Stucky.
