Ratios conjecture of quartic $L$-functions of prime moduli

Abstract

We apply the method of multiple Dirichlet series to develop $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in both the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of quartic Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli over the Gaussian field under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As consequences, we evaluate asymptotically the first moment of central values as well as the one-level density of the same family of $L$-functions.
