Abstract

The theory of L-functions and analytic number theory goes back to 1837 when Dirichlet introduced the L-series [D, chapter 4] (Dirichlet series)(where χ is a character of the cyclic group (Z/qZ) * for a positive integer q) to prove that there are infinitely many primes congruent to a (mod q) provided a is coprime to q.The key step in Dirichlet's proof was showing that
