Hurwitz Zeta Function - Relation To Dirichlet L-functions

Relation To Dirichlet L-functions

At rational arguments the Hurwitz zeta function may be expressed as a linear combination of Dirichlet L-functions and vice versa: The Hurwitz zeta function coincides with Riemann's zeta function ζ(s) when q = 1, when q = 1/2 it is equal to (2s−1)ζ(s), and if q = n/k with k > 2, (n,k) > 1 and 0 < n < k, then

the sum running over all Dirichlet characters mod k. In the opposite direction we have the linear combination

There is also the multiplication theorem

of which a useful generalization is the distribution relation

(This last form is valid whenever q a natural number and 1 − qa is not.)

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

    We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
