Symmetrization of the Hurwitz zeta function and Dirichlet $L$ functions.
(English)
[J] Proc. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A, Math. Phys. Eng. Sci. 463, No. 2077, 281-301 (2007). ISSN 1364-5021; ISSN 1471-2946/e

Summary: We consider the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (s,a)$, and form two parts $\zeta _{+}$ and $\zeta _{ - }$ by symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of $\zeta (s,a)$ and $\zeta (s,1 - a)$. We consider the properties of $\zeta _{+}$ and $\zeta _{ - }$, and then show that each may be decomposed into parts denoted by $P$ and $N$, each of which obeys a functional equation of the Dirichlet $L$ type, with a multiplicative factor of - 1 for the functions $N$. We show the results of this procedure for rational $a=p/q$, with $q=1, 2, 3$, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and demonstrate that the functions $P$ and $N$ have some of the key properties of Dirichlet $L$ functions.
