In this article, I present a conjecture (1.8, 2.8) relating the values of certain L-functions at certain integer points to the periods of integrals. The L-functions we consider here are those of motives a word to which we shall not attach a precise meaning. They include, notably, Artin L-functions, L-functions attached to algebraic Hecke characters (= Grossencharacter of type A0), and those att...

A number of authors have considered mean values of powers of the modulus of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s, a), see [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. In this paper, the mean of the function itself is considered. First a functional equation relating the Riemann zeta function to sums of the values of the Hurwitz zeta function at rational values of a is derived. This functional equation underlies the vanishing of t...

suppose $f$ is a map from a non-empty finite set $x$ to a finite group $g$. define the map $zeta^f_g: glongrightarrow mathbb{n}cup {0}$ by $gmapsto |f^{-1}(g)|$. in this article, we show that for a suitable choice of $f$, the map $zeta^f_g$ is a character. we use our results to show that the solution function for the word equation $w(t_1,t_2,dots,t_n)=g$ ($gin g$) is a character, where $w(t_1,t...
