The mean square of the Dirichlet \(L\)-functions in the critical strip (Q1592030): Difference between revisions

Atkinson discovered a very precise formula for the mean square of the error term of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)\) on the critical line \(\text{Re }s=1/2\) [Acta Math. 81, 353-376 (1949; Zbl 0036.18603)]. This result was extended by \textit{K. Matsumoto} and \textit{T. Meurman} to the region \(1/2<\text{Re }s<1\) [Acta Arith. 64, 357-382 (1993; Zbl 0788.11035)], and by \textit{T. Meurmann} to Dirichlet \(L\)-functions \(L(s,\chi)\) on the critical line [Acta Arith. 47, 351-370 (1986; Zbl 0561.10019)]. In the paper under review the author establishes the corresponding formula for \(L(s,\chi)\) in the strip \(1/2<\text{Re }s<1\).
