Abstract:
There is a numeric algorithm for finding non-trivial zeros of regular Dirichlet
$L$-functions.
This algorithm is based on a construction of Dirichlet polynomials which approximate these
$L$-functions in any rectangle in the critical strip with exponential speed.
This result does not hold for Dirichlet
$L$-functions in number fields, because if it did, a power
series with the same coefficients as the Dirichlet series defining the
$L$-function would converge
to a function which is holomorphic at 1, however, it is known that that such power series in case of
a number field different from the field of rational numbers can't be continued analytically past its
convergence boundary.
Consequently, we need to develop a new numerical algorithm for finding non-trivial zeros of
Dirichlet
$L$-functions in number fields. This problem is discussed in this paper.
We show that there exists a sequence of Dirichlet polynomials which approximate a Dirichlet
$L$-function in a number field faster than any power function in any rectangle inside the critical
strip. We also provide an explicit construction of approximating Dirichlet polynomials, whose zeros
coincide with those of a Dirichlet
$L$-function in the specified rectangle, for an
$L$-function,
if it can be split into a product of classical
$L$-functions. Additionally we discuss some questions
related to the construction of such polynomials for arbitrary Dirichlet
$L$-functions.
