Let \(f:\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{C}\) and \(f(n+q)=f(n)\) for \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). The associated Dirichlet series is \(L(s, f)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f(n)/n^s.\) It can be continued analytically throughout \(\mathbb{C}\) with at most one simple pole at \(s=1\). Let \(\rho_\chi=\beta_\chi+i\gamma_\chi\) denote the nontrivial zeros of the Dirichlet \(L\)-function \(L(s, \chi)\) attached to a primitive Dirichlet character \(\chi\bmod Q\) or of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)= L(s, \chi\bmod1)\). Continuing his researches [Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb. 71, 113–121 (2001; Zbl 1010.11049), Ramanujan J. 6, 295–306 (2002; Zbl 1069.11038)] the author proves that for \(T\to\infty\) \[ \sum_{| \gamma_\chi| \leq T}L(\rho_\chi, f)=\left(f(1)-{1\over\phi([q,Q])} \sum _{\substack{ a\bmod [q,Q]\\ (a, [q,Q])=1}} (\overline{\chi}f)(a)\right) {T\over \pi}\log T +O(T), \] where \(\varphi(n)\) is Euler’s totient and \([q, Q]\) denotes the least common multiple of \(q\) and \(Q\). From this he derives a necessary condition for the quotient \(L(s, f)/L(s, \chi)\) to be an entire function. For some cases entire quotients \(L(s, f)/L(s, \chi)\) are calculated explicitly.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1006.00014].
