Hurwitz Zeta Function - Relation To Dirichlet L-functions

Relation To Dirichlet L-functions

At rational arguments the Hurwitz zeta function may be expressed as a linear combination of Dirichlet L-functions and vice versa: The Hurwitz zeta function coincides with Riemann's zeta function ζ(s) when q = 1, when q = 1/2 it is equal to (2s−1)ζ(s), and if q = n/k with k > 2, (n,k) > 1 and 0 < n < k, then

the sum running over all Dirichlet characters mod k. In the opposite direction we have the linear combination

There is also the multiplication theorem

of which a useful generalization is the distribution relation

(This last form is valid whenever q a natural number and 1 − qa is not.)

    Among the most valuable but least appreciated experiences parenthood can provide are the opportunities it offers for exploring, reliving, and resolving one’s own childhood problems in the context of one’s relation to one’s child.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    You know there are no secrets in America. It’s quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people.
