Special values of L-functions as periods
If $M$ is a pure motive over $\mathbb{Q}$, one cas define its $L$-function $L(M,s)$ which conjecturaly is a meromorphic function over $\mathbb{C}$ with finitely many poles.
For example, when $M=\...

Are the L-functions of a normalized newform and the corresponding cuspidal representation equal?
Let $f \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ be a normalized newform with Fourier expansion
$$f(z) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n e^{2\pi i z n}$$
and $a_1 = 1$. Then $f$ is an eigenfunction of all Hecke ...

Analytic equivalents for primes in arithmetic progressions
By way of context: it is known that the prime number theorem $\pi(x) \sim x/\log x$ is (nontrivially) equivalent to the statement that $\zeta(s)$ does not vanish on the line $\Re s=1$.
I would like ...

Is special value of Epstein zeta function in 3 variables a period?
Kontsevich-Zagier's article "Periods" contains the following question
Is $\displaystyle \sum_{x,y,z \in \mathbb{Z}}' \frac{1}{(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2}$ an extended period?
($\sum'$ means we do not sum ...

Values of Dirichlet L-funcions at natural numbers
I want to know about reference of formulas for
$$
L(s,D)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{D}{n}\right)\,n^{-s}
$$
for $s$ a positive integer number and $D$ a fundamental discriminant. For $s=1$ we have ...

$B(\chi), L'(1,\chi)/L(1,\chi),\dotsc$
Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus $q>1$. Write, as is customary, $B(\chi)$ for the constant in the expression
$$\frac{\Lambda'(s,\chi)}{\Lambda(s,\chi)} = B(\chi) + \sum_\rho ...
