On the absolute convergence of the local-zeta integral.
Though I am in a situation considering only local-zeta integral, to explain my question briefly, let me ask it in quite general form.
Let $f(s,g)$ be a two variable smooth good (i …

Off critical line zeros for half integer weight $L$-functions
Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty A(n)n^{\frac{k-1}{2}}e(nz)$ be a modular form of weight $k$ for a half integer $k$. Put
$$L(s,f) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{A(n)}{n^s} $$
to be the $L$ …

derivatives of Artin L-functions
This is a vague question: I'm sorry for that.
Let's start with $\chi$ a (primitive odd) Dirichlet character modulo $n$ and look at the corresponding L-function
$$
L(s, \chi)=\sum …

Can GRH for complex primitive Dirichlet characters fail with a single non-trivial zero off the critical line?
Can GRH for complex primitive Dirichlet character fail with a
single non-trivial zero off the critical line?
For real characters this is impossible because the non-trivial z …

A stupid question on automorphic l-function
This may be a silly question for experts in this area. But I am really suffering for not being able to compute local-L function of some automorphic representation.
So, I post it h …
