Dirichlet L-function for the Legendre symbol
From Number
Definition
Suppose is a prime number. The Dirichlet L-function for the Legendred symbol mod
is defined as the Dirichlet L-function for the Legendre symbol mod
. In other words, it is the function given by the following L-series:
.
The numerator here is the Legendre symbol, which is if
divides
,
if
is a quadratic residue modulo
, and
if
is a quadratic nonresidue modulo
.
