Let also Lχ, s) be the Dirichlet L-function defined for Rs) > by Lχ, s) = n χn) n s. The goal of this exercise is to prove that Lχ, s) 0 for Rs) =. This generalizes the result of Dirichlet which asserts that Lχ, ) 0. I) Let ζ q s) be the function defined for Rs) > by ζ q s) = χ mod q) Lχ, s) = n and the opposite of its logarithmic derivative ζ qs) ζ q s) = Λ q n) n n s, Compute Λ q n) and check that Λ q n) 0. a q n) n s, II) Let t R 0 and let H q,it s) be the function defined for Rs) > by H q,it s) = ζ q s) 3 ζ q s + it)ζ q s it)) 2 ζ q s + 2it)ζ q s 2it), and the opposite of its logarithmic derivative H q,it s) H q,it s) = Λ q,it n) n n s. Prove that these two functions extend meromorphically to the open half-plane {s C, Rs) > 0}, and that Λ q,it n) 0. III) We assume that there exists a Dirichlet character χ such that Lχ, + it) = 0 for some t R 0. Check that a q n) R for any n, and deduce that H q,it ) = 0.

Exercise 2 The Prime Number Theorem in arithmetic progressions) Let q and a Z coprime to q, and let also ψx; q, a) = Λn). n x n=a mod q) The goal of this exercise is to prove that the results of Exercise imply ψx; q, a) = x ϕq) + o q)). We will also make use of the following lemma. Lemma. Let f : R R be a piecewise continuous function whose absolute value is bounded. Then the function F s) defined by the integral F s) = ft)t s dt is holomorphic in the open half-plane {s C, Rs) > }. Moreover, if F s) extends meromorphically to an open neighborhood of the closed half-plane {s C, Rs) } and if it is holomorphic on the line {s C, Rs) = }, then the integral ft)t dt is convergent and equals F ). I) Let LΛ δ a mod q), s) be the function defined for Rs) > by LΛ δ a mod q), s) = n n=a mod q) Λn) n s. Write LΛ δ a mod q), s) as a linear combination of the logarithmic derivatives L χ, s)/lχ, s) and show that the function LΛ δ a mod q), s) s ϕq) s extends meromorphically to the open half-plane {s C, Rs) > 0} and that it does not have poles in the closed half-plane {s C, Rs) }. II) For t, we set f q,a t) = t ψt; q, a) t ). ϕq) Prove that f q,a t) is a piecewise continuous function whose absolute value is bounded.

For this, assume that there exists a sequence x n ) n going to infinity, and such that for every n, ) ψx n ; q, a) > ϕq) + ε x n, and find a contradiction. VI) Conclude. Exercise 3 On the number of zeros of the Riemann zeta function) Let NT ) be the number of zeros s = σ+it of the Riemann zeta function satisfying 0 < σ < and 0 < t < T, counted with multiplicities.

Using a similar method, one can prove an analog result for Dirichlet L-functions. Let q and let χ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo q. Let also NT, χ) be the number of zeros s = σ + it of Ls, χ) satisfying 0 < σ < and T < t < T, counted with multiplicities.

I) Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, prove that where, as usual, ψx) x x /2 log x) 2, ψx) = n x Λn). To do this, use the following approximate explicit formula, which is valid if the distance from x to any prime power is, say, at least /2, x ψx) = x ζ 0) ζ0) + ) 2 log x 2) xlog T x) 2 + O, T I) T where the sum is over the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, counted with multiplicities.
