Mean value theorems for L-functions over prime polynomials for the rational function field
The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over the rational function field at the central point s=1/2, where the character χ is defined by the Legendre symbol for polynomials over finite fields and runs over all monic irreducible polynomials P of a given odd degree. Asymptotic formulae are derived for fixed finite fields when the degree of P is large. The first moment obtained here is the function field analogue of a result due to Jutila in the...
