### Non-vanishing of derivatives of certain modular $L$-functions

Narasimha Kumar

#### Abstract

This paper is to show a non-vanishing property of the derivatives of certain class of $L$-functions. We study the non-vanishing and transcendence of special values of $L$-functions and their derivatives, attached to (cuspidal) Siegel-Hecke eigenforms of genus $2$, quadratic twists of classical Hecke eigenforms, and half-integral weight modular forms.
