Corollary 3 and Section 7 are added", "categories": [ "math.NT" ], "abstract": "Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show using the asymptotic large sieve that 91% of the zeros of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions are simple. This improves on earlier work of \\\"{O}zl\\\"{u}k which gives a proportion of at most 86%. We further compute an $q$-analogue of the Pair Correlation Function $F(\\alpha)$ averaged over all primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions in the range $|\\alpha| < 2$ . Previously such a result was available only when the average included all the characters $\\chi$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-02-14T19:59:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06", "11M26" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic large sieve", "primitive dirichlet", "simple zeros", "pair correlation function", "generalized riemann hypothesis" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.6725C" } } }
