The universality theorem for Hecke L-functions (Q4484468)

The author proves the universality theorem for Hecke L-functions using a probabilistic method due B. Bagchi. This continues investigations of [Acta Arith. 98, 395-410 (2001; Zbl 0982.11050)] where he, using Voronin's method, obtained a universality theorem for \(L\)-functions associated with ideal class characters. Let \(K\) be a finite extension of \({\mathbb Q}\) and \(f\) be an ideal of \(K\). Let \(\chi\) be a Grössencharacter of an ideal class group modulo \(\widetilde f\). For \(\Re s>1\), the Hecke \(L\)-function is defined as \[ L(s,\chi)=\sum_I {\chi (I)\over N(I)^s} \] where \(I\) runs through all integral ideals in \(K\) except 0 and \(N(I)\) denotes the norm of \(I\). Let \(n=[K:{\mathbb Q}]\). Set \[ \sigma_K=\begin{cases} 1/2 &\text{if } K={\mathbb Q} \\ 1-1/n &\text{otherwise}. \end{cases} \] Let \(C\) be a compact subset in the strip \(\sigma_K <\Re s <1\) with connected complement and \(f(s)\) be a continuous function on \(C\) such that \(f(s)\neq 0\) on \(C\) and \(f(s)\) is holomorphic in the interior of \(C\). Then the author proves that for every \(\varepsilon >0\), \[ \liminf_{T\to\infty}{1\over T} \operatorname {meas}\{\tau\in[0,T] \mid \max_{s\in C} |L(s+i\tau, \chi)-f(s)|<\varepsilon\}>0. \] In the proof the limit theorem of \textit{A. Laurinčikas} [Acta Arith. 84, 1-16 (1998; Zbl 0904.11025)] is used.
