REMARK ON THE MEAN VALUE OF L(½, χ) IN THE HYPERELLIPTIC ENSEMBLE

Let $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be a polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we determine an asymptotic mean value of quadratic Dirich-let L-functions L(s, ${\chi}_{{\gamma}D}$) at the central point s=$\frac{1}{2}$, where D runs over all monic square-free polynomials of even degree in $\mathbb{A}$ and ${\gamma}$ is a generator of $\mathbb{F}_q^*$.
