NON-VANISHING OF MAASS FORM L-FUNCTIONS AT THE CENTRAL POINT

• In this paper, we consider the family {L-j(s)}(j=1)(infinity) of L-functions associated to an orthonormal basis {u(j)}(j=1)(infinity) of even Hecke-Maass forms for the modular group SL(2, Z) with eigenvalues {lambda(j) = kappa(2)(j) + 1/4}(j=1)(infinity). We prove the following effective non-vanishing result: At least 50% of the central values L-j(1/2) with kappa(j) <= T do not vanish as T -> infinity. Furthermore, we establish effective non-vanishing results in short intervals.
