ON UNIFIED KRONECKER LIMIT FORMULAE (Q3146483)

The Epstein-Lerch zeta-function is defined by \[ \zeta_Q(s,u,v)={\sum_{m, n}}'\frac{e^{2\pi i(mu+nv)}}{Q(m, n)^s}, \] where the summation is over integers not both zero of the positive definite binary quadratic form \(Q(m,n)\). The work [J. Reine Angew. Math. 227, 86-110 (1967; Zbl 0166.05204)] of \textit{A. Selberg} and \textit{S. Chowla} contains a Bessel series expression for Epstein zeta-function \(\zeta_Q(s)\) \((=\zeta_Q(s,0,0))\). In the paper under review the author proves the corresponding Bessel series expression for \(\zeta_Q(s,u,v)\), \(\Re s>1\), when \(0\leq u, v<1\) are not both zero. This expression allows him to obtain in a unified way the following well known Kronecker's limit formulae: the constant term of the Laurent expansion around \(s=1\) of the Epstein zeta-function and the value at \(s=1\) of \(\zeta_Q(s,u,v)\) when \(u\) and \(v\) are not both zero.
