Non-vanishing of derivatives of \(L\)-functions attached to Hilbert modular forms (Q2890259)

The author investigates the non-vanishing of derivatives of \(L\)-functions attached to Hilbert modular forms. In particular, she proves that if \(f\) is a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight \(k= (k_1, \dots, k_n)\) with \(k_j\geq 4\) even, level \(\mathcal{N}\) with trivial character over a totally real number field and if the central critical value of the \(L\)-function attached to it does not vanish, then so is true for its derivative. This is a generalization of a result of the reviewer, \textit{M. R. Murty} and \textit{P. Rath} [Can. J. Math. 63, No. 1, 136--152 (2011; Zbl 1218.11070)] in the elliptic modular form set up. The author also deduces some transcendence results similar to the ones deduced in [loc. cit.].
