Real zeros of random Dirichlet series. (English) Zbl 1422.60072

Summary: Let \(F(\sigma )\) be the random Dirichlet series \(F(\sigma )=\sum _{p\in \mathcal{P} } \frac{X_p} {p^{\sigma }}\), where \(\mathcal{P} \) is an increasing sequence of positive real numbers and \((X_p)_{p\in \mathcal{P} }\) is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with \(\mathbb{P} (X_1=1)=\mathbb{P} (X_1=-1)=1/2\). We prove that, for certain conditions on \(\mathcal{P} \), if \(\sum _{p\in \mathcal{P} }\frac{1} {p}<\infty \) then with positive probability \(F(\sigma )\) has no real zeros while if \(\sum _{p\in \mathcal{P} }\frac{1} {p}=\infty \), almost surely \(F(\sigma )\) has an infinite number of real zeros.
