On zeros of bilateral Hurwitz and periodic zeta and zeta star functions (Q6158197)

Let consider the periodic zeta function \[ \mathrm{Li}_s(e^{2 i\pi a})=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{2 i\pi n a}}{n^s}, \] for \(\sigma=\mathrm{Re}(s)>1\) and \(0<a<1\). In this paper under review, the author shows first that the periodic zeta function \(\mathrm{Li}_s(e^{2 i\pi a})\) with \(0<a<\frac{1}{2}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}<a<1\) does not vanish on the real line. Then, he shows that all real zeros of \(Y(s, a) :=\zeta(s, a)-\zeta(s, 1-a), O(s, a) :=-i\text{Li}_s(e^{2\pi ia})+i\text{Li}_s(e^{2\pi i(1-a)})\) and \(X(s, a):=Y(s, a)+O(s, a)\) with \(0<a<\frac{1}{2}\) are simple and are located only at the negative odd integers. It is also proven that all real zeros of \(Z(s, a) :=\zeta(s, a)+\zeta(s, 1-a)\) are simple and are located only at the non-positive even integers if and only if \(\frac{1}{4}\leq a \leq \frac{1}{2}\). Furthermore, the author shows that all real zeros of \(P(s, a):=\text{Li}_s(e^{2\pi ia})+\text{Li}_s(e^{2\pi i(1-a)})\) are simple and are located only at the negative even integers if and only if \(\frac{1}{4}\leq a \leq \frac{1}{2}\). Finally, the asymptotic behavior of real zeros of \(Z(s,a)\) and \(P(s,a)\) are discussed when \(0<a<\frac{1}{4}\) and the complex zeros of these zeta functions are studied when \(0<a<\frac{1}{2}\) is rational or transcendental.
