Questions about generalizations of the Riemann Zeta function of arithmetic interest whose definition relies on meromorphic continuation of special kinds of Dirichlet series, such as Dirichlet L-functions, Artin L-functions, elements of the Selberg class, automorphic L-functions, Shimizu L-functions, p-adic L-functions, etc.

Intuition for Zagier's theorem for $\zeta_K(2)$

In 1986, Don Zagier generalized Euler's theorem ($\zeta_\mathbb{Q}(2)=\pi ^2 /6$) to an arbitrary number field $K$: $$\zeta_K(2)=\frac{\pi^{2r+2s}}{\sqrt{|D|}}\times \sum_v c_v A(x_{v,1})...A(x_{v,s} …

Underlying idea for (automorphic) L-function?

This is not exactly an answer, but should illustrate how tentative the opinion of experts on L-functions is, when it comes to explain what L-function really are. Two quotes from the first volume on nu …

First formulation of the Dedekind and Hasse-Weil conjectures

I'm looking for the original statement of two important conjectures in number theory concerning L-functions. I'm particularly interested in pinning down the year in which they were first formulated: …

Automorphic factorization of Dedekind zeta functions

It is well known that for abelian number fields, the factorization of its Dedekind zeta function goes like this: $$\zeta_K(s)=\zeta(s)\prod_{\chi \neq 1} L(s,\chi)$$ with the Dirichlet characters di …

Propagation of modularity and the Artin conjecture

The (still incomplete) solution of the Artin conjecture on dimension $\leq2$ has been a massive research effort that has spanned (knowingly or not) around a century. A very natural question is, what …

No Siegel-Landau zeros for $\mathrm{GL}(n)$

The problem of non-existance of Siegel-Landau zeros seems to be uncharacteristically easier for cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ on $\mathrm{GL}(n)$ if $n\geq2$. We have in fact: There a …

References for general Hasse-Weil zeta function

Most research on the Hasse-Weil zeta function focuses on some particular type of algebraic variety, and general surveys usually deal mostly with the better understood elliptic curve case. I am lookin …

Tate's thesis for Artin L-functions

As far as I know, Tate's thesis has been successfully applied in two fronts: Hecke L-functions, by Tate and Iwasawa (and Teichmüller, Witt, Schmid) Automorphic L-functions, by Jacquet, Shalika, Shap …

Artin conjecture on L-functions

This is the status as far as I know. For dimension $\leq 2$ it is up to date. For higher dimensional representations I'm sure it is very incomplete, so feel free to edit or comment. Dimension 1. Known …

Analytic continuation for $L$-functions of elliptic curves

As said in the comment above, the answer to your first question is no. Hecke L-functions are expected to factor as a product of irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\math …

Irrationality of Dedekind zeta values

As with all motivic L-functions, irrationality of special values breaks into two rather different problems: Critical values. In the case of Dedekind zeta functions, those are the even positive intege …

Is special value of Epstein zeta function in 3 variables a period?

Nice question. I think this is what's going on: If $Q$ is a (positive definite) quadratic form, then its Epstein zeta function $Z_Q(s)$ can be expressed as a linear combination of L-functions of cusp …

Weil Conjectures Analog for Multivariate Zeta Functions

The Weil conjectures have to do with local zeta-function over finite fields. The Riemann zeta function and the multiple zeta functions are defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ So Weil conjectures are simply th …

Reference for the odd dihedral case of Artin's conjecture

There's a beautiful history behind this. Basically, Artin and Hecke were working on different sides of this "dihedral modularity conjecture" at the same time (the 20s) and at the same place (Hamburg) …
