Dirichlet Series that fail to be L-functions
For $\sigma \in \mathbb{R}$, let each $\mathbb{C}_\sigma = \{s \in \mathbb{C} : \Re(s) > \sigma\}$. For a sequence $a_n \in \mathbb{C}$, consider the Dirichlet series $D(s) = \sum_{n\ge 0} a_n n^{-...

Classification of L functions and Dirichlet series by poles
I am interested in the connection between particular Dirichlet series' abscissa of convergence and the poles of L-functions.
Let $D(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{a_n}{n^z}$ be a Dirichlet series ...

A question about the setup of zero density estimates for Dirichlet $L$-functions
For $L(s,\chi)= \sum_{n \geq 1}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}$, where $s = \sigma + it$, we define the function $N(\sigma, T, \chi)$ which counts the zeros $\rho = \beta + i\gamma$ for which $L(\rho, \chi) =0$ ...

Euler's proof of $\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$
Euler proved
$$\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$$
where the reasoning of the signs thus is prepared, so that of the second may be had as $-$, prime ...

Abscissa of convergence of the $\tau$ Dirichlet series
Define the $\tau$ Dirichlet series $L$ by
$$L(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\tau (n)}{n^s}$$
where $\tau$ is defined by
$$q\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-q^n)^{24}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \tau (n)q^n$$
where $|q|\lt 1$....

Positivity of partial Dirichlet series for a quadratic character?
Let $\chi\colon(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^\times\rightarrow\{\pm1\}$ be a primitive quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $N$. For any integer $m=1,2,\cdots,\infty$, consider the partial Dirichlet ...

Is $\frac{1}{L(1+it)}$ unbounded?
Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the corresponding L-function. Is $$\frac{1}{L(1+it, \chi)}$$ unbounded for $t \in \mathbb{R}$? I'm aware that this is true if $L=\zeta$, but I'm ...

Moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line
I'm looking for a reference for some questions related to the moments of Dirichlet characters on the critical line,
$$ M_k(T;\chi) = \int_T^{2T} |L(1/2+it,\chi)|^{2k}\,dt, $$
where $\chi$ is a ...

Are L-functions uniquely determined by their values at negative integers?
Are L-functions uniquely determined by their values at negative integers? In another words, is there a sequence of integers $a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots$ such that
the corresponding L-function
$$L_{\{a_n\}...

Real non trivial zeros of Dirichlet L-functions
When dealing with the prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions, one cannot exclude the possible presence of a real zero close to $1$ for at most one real character mod $q$. On the other hand, ...

Extension of Heath-Brown's fourth moment $\sum_ \chi \lvert L (s, \chi) \rvert^4$ to complex characters
Let $L(s, \chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to the character $\chi$.
In his paper A Mean Value Estimate for Real Character Sums, Heath-Brown proves a mean value bound for $L(s,\chi)$...
