$L$-functions of a quadratic form

¿ Functions of a Quadratic Form

Let Q be a positive definite integral quadratic form in ti variables, with the additional property that the adjoint form Q' is also integral. Using the functional equation of the Epstein zeta function, we obtain a symmetric functional equation of the ¿-function of Q with a primitive character to mod q (additive or multiplicative) defined by £io(2(x))C(x)-ï. Re(s) > nl2> where the summation exte...

Real zeros of quadratic Dirichlet L - functions

A small part of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis asserts that L-functions do not have zeros on the line segment ( 2 , 1]. The question of vanishing at s = 2 often has deep arithmetical significance, and has been investigated extensively. A persuasive view is that L-functions vanish at 2 either for trivial reasons (the sign of the functional equation being negative), or for deep arithmetical r...

a contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals

writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...

The Second Moment of Quadratic Twists of Modular L-functions

The family of quadratic twists of a modular form has received much attention in recent years. Motivated by the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures, we seek an understanding of the central values of the associated L-functions, and while this question has been investigated extensively, much remains unknown. One important theme in this area concerns the moments of these central L-values. Thanks to t...
