A Bohr-Jessen type theorem for the Epstein zeta-function. II. (Q2302217)

In the paper, value-distribution of the Epstein zeta-function \(\zeta(s;Q)\), \(s=\sigma+it\), on the complex plane \(\mathbb C\) is studied. For positive definite quadratic \(n \times n\) matrix \(Q\), let \(Q[{\underline{x}}]={\underline x}^TQ{\underline x}\), \({\underline x}\in {\mathbb Z}^n\). Then the Epstein zeta-function \(\zeta(s;Q)\) is defined by the series \[ \zeta(s;Q)=\sum_{{\underline x}\in {\mathbb Z}^n\setminus\{{\underline 0}\}}(Q[{\underline x}])^{-s}, \quad \sigma>\frac{n}{2}, \] and it has analytic continuation to whole \(s\)-plane, except for a simple pole at \(s=\frac{n}{2}\) with residue \(\frac{\pi^{n/2}}{\Gamma(n/2)\sqrt{{\mathrm{det}}Q}}\). Then the discrete limit theorem for the function \(\zeta(s;Q)\) is proved, i.e., it is shown that, for fixed \(\sigma>\frac{n-1}{2}\), \[ \frac{1}{N+1}\# \big\{0 \leq k \leq N: \zeta(\sigma+ikh;Q)\in A\big\}, \quad A \in {\mathcal B}({\mathbb{C}}), \] converges weakly to explicitly given probabilty measure as \(N \to \infty\). Note that two types of fixed common difference \(h> 0\) of arithmetic progression \(\{kh: k\in {\mathbb{N}}\}\) are studied: (i) when \(h\) is such that the number \(\exp\{\frac{2 \pi m}{h}\}\) is irrational for all \(m \in {\mathbb{N}}\), and (ii) when \(h\) is not of (i) type.
