On the mean square value of Dirichlet’s -functions
Let be an integer, let denote a Dirichlet character modulo For any real number we define the generalized Dirichlet -functions where with and both real. They can be extended to all by analytic continuation. In this paper we study the mean value properties of the generalized Dirichlet -functions especially for and , and obtain two sharp asymptotic formulas by using the analytic method and the theory of van der Corput.
The family of symmetric powers of an L-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from the perspectives of classical analytic number theory and random matrix theory, especially focusing on evidence for the symmetry type of the family. In particular, we investigate the values at the central point and give evidence that this family can be modeled by...
We apply a method of Euler to algebraic extensions of sets of numbers with compound additive inverse which can be seen as quotient rings of R[x]. This allows us to evaluate a generalization of Riemann’s zeta function in terms of the period of a function which generalizes the function sin z. It follows that the functions generalizing the trigonometric functions on these sets of numbers are not periodic.
