Analytic properties of $L$-functions attached to a compatible system of $\ell$-adic Galois representations
Let $F$ and $E$ be number fields, $G_F$ be the absolute Galois group of $F$, and $S$ be a finite set of primes of $F$. For $\lambda$ a prime of $E$ we denote by $\ell$ its residual characteristic. We ...

Are Li's numbers $\lambda_n$ absolutely convergent for $n>1$?
Li's numbers $\{\lambda_n\}$ are defined as $$\lambda_n=\frac{1}{(n-1)!}\frac{d^n}{ds^n} [s^{n-1}\log\xi(s)]_{s=1} $$ for all positive integers $n$.
Also $\lambda_n$ is given as a sum over the non ...

Analytic equivalents for primes in arithmetic progressions

I would like ...
