A uniqueness theorem for Dirichlet series satisfying a Riemann type functional equation (Q631803): Difference between revisions

The author studies \(L\)-functions \({\mathcal L}(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a(n)}{n^s}\) with the properties: \(\forall \varepsilon>0,a(n)\ll n^\varepsilon\); there is an integer \(k\geq 0\) such that \((s-1)^k{\mathcal L}(s)\) is an entire function of finite order; \({\mathcal L}(s)\) satisfies a functional equation of type \(\Lambda_{\mathcal L}(s)=\omega \overline{\Lambda_{\mathcal L}(1-\overline{s})}\), where \(\Lambda_{\mathcal L}(s)={\mathcal L}(s) Q^s\prod_{j=1}^K \Gamma(\lambda_j s+\mu_j)\) with positive real numbers \(Q,\lambda_j\) and complex numbers \(\mu_j,\omega\) with \(\Re \mu_j\geq 0\) and \(|\omega|=1\). He proves that if \({\mathcal L}_1\) and \({\mathcal L}_2\) satisfy the same functional equation with \(a(1)=1\) and \({\mathcal L}_1^{-1}(c_j)={\mathcal L}_2^{-1}(c_j)\) for two distinct complex numbers \(c_1\) and \(c_2\), then \({\mathcal L}_1\equiv {\mathcal L}_2 \).
