Could the patterns in the roots of the Riemann-Liouville differintegral of $(s-1)\,L(s, \chi_{q,j})$ be explained?
This question aims to extend this question to (automorphic) Dirichlet L-functions.
Take: $$f(s,q,j) = (s-1)\,L(s, \chi_{q,j})$$
with $q$ the modulus and $j$ the index of a character $\chi$. A fast way ...
