§ 1. An Epstein zeta function (in its simplest form) is a function represented by the Dirichlet's series where a1… ak are real and n1, n2, … nk run through integral values. The properties of this function are well known and the simplest of them were proved by Epstein [2, 3]. The aim of this note is to define a general class of Dirichlet's series, of which the above can be viewed as an instance, and to discuss the problem of analytic continuation of such series.

AbstractWe use a variant of a method of Goncharov, Kontsevich and Zhao [5, 16] to meromorphically continue the multiple Hurwitz zeta function to $\mathbb{C}^{d}$, to locate the hyperplanes containing its possible poles and to compute the residues at the poles. We explain how to use the residues to locate trivial zeros of $\zeta_{d}(s;\theta)$.

The Epstein zeta function of f is denned to beRankin [7], Cassels [1], Ennola [5], and Diananda [4] between them proved that for every real s > 0,We prove a corresponding result for theta functions. For real α > 0, letThis function satisfies the functional equation(This may be proved by using the formula (4) below, and then twice applying the identity (8).)

The generalised zeta-function ζ(s, α) is defined bywhere α>0 and Res>l. Clearly, ζ(s, 1)=, where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann zeta-function. In this paper we consider a general class of Dirichlet series satisfying a functional equation similar to that of ζ(s). If ø(s) is such a series, we analogously define ø(s, α). We shall derive a representation for ø(s, α) which will be valid in the entire complex s-plane. From this representation we determine some simple properties of ø(s, α).

Functions onR(or onR/Z, orQ/Z, or the interval (0,1)) which satisfy the identity1.1for positive integersmand fixed complexs,appear in several branches of mathematics (see [8], p. 65-68). They have recently been studied systematically by Kubert [6] and Milnor [12]. Milnor showed that for each complexsthere is a one-dimensional space of even functions and a one-dimensional space of odd functions which satisfy (1.1). These functions can be expressed in terms of either the Hurwitz partial zeta-function or the polylogarithm functions.My purpose is to prove an analogous theorem forp-adic functions. Thep-adic analog is slightly more general; it allows for a Dirichlet characterχ0(m) in front ofms–lin (1.1). The functions satisfying (1.1) turn out to bep-adic “partial DirichletL-functions”, functions of twop-adic variables (x, s) and one character variableχ0which specialize to partial zeta-functions whenχ0is trivial and to Kubota-LeopoldtL-functions whenx= 0.

Let ζ(s) = σn-s(Res >1) denote the Riemann zeta function; then, as is well known,, whereBmdenotes themth Bernoulli number, In this paper we investigate the possibility of similar evaluations of the Epstein zeta function ζq(s) at the rational integerss = k> 2. Letbe a positive definite quadratic form andwhere the summation is over all pairs of integers except (0, 0). In attempting to evaluate ζq(k) we are guided by Kronecker's first limit formula [11]where γ is Euler's constant,is the Dedekind eta-function, and τ is the complex number in the upper half plane, ℋ, associated with Q by the formulaOn the basis of (1.3) we would expect a formula involving functions of τ. This formula is stated in Theorem 1, (2.13).

AbstractWe prove that there is a correspondence between Ramanujan-type formulas for$\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}1/\pi $and formulas for Dirichlet$L$-values. Our method also allows us to reduce certain values of the Epstein zeta function to rapidly converging hypergeometric functions. The Epstein zeta functions were previously studied by Glasser and Zucker.
