For any Galois extension K/k of number fields, we show that every Artin L-function for Gal(K/k) is holomorphic at s = s0 ≠= 1 whenever the quotient ζK (s)/ζk (s) of Dedekind zeta functions has a zero of order at most max{2, p2 − 2} at s = s0 (here p2 stands for the second smallest prime divisor of [K : k]). This result gives a refinement of the previous work of Foote and V. K. Murty.

Abstract


For any Galois extension K/k of number fields, we show that every Artin L-function for Gal(K/k) is holomorphic at s = s0 ≠= 1 whenever the quotient ζK (s)/ζk (s) of Dedekind zeta functions has a zero of order at most max{2, p2 − 2} at s = s0 (here p2 stands for the second smallest prime divisor of [K : k]). This result gives a refinement of the previous work of Foote and V. K. Murty.
