On the size of L(1,χ) and S. Chowla's hypothesis implying that L(1,χ) > 0 for s > 0 and for real characters χ

S. Louboutin (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give explicit constants κ such that if χ is a real non-principal Dirichlet character for which L(1,χ) ≤ κ, then Chowla's hypothesis is not satisfied and we cannot use Chowla's method for proving that L(s,χ) > 0 for s > 0. These constants are larger than the previous ones κ = 1- log 2 = 0.306... and κ = 0.367... we obtained elsewhere.
