Comments are very welcome!", "categories": [ "math.NT", "math.AG" ], "abstract": "We propose an investigation on the Northcott, Bogomolov and Lehmer properties for special values of $L$-functions. We first introduce an axiomatic approach to these three properties. We then focus on the Northcott property for special values of $L$-functions. We prove that such a property holds for the special value at zero of Dedekind zeta functions of number fields. In the case of $L$-functions of pure motives, we prove a Northcott property for special values located at the left of the critical strip, assuming the validity of the functional equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-01T14:56:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G40", "11G50", "14K05", "11F67" ], "keywords": [ "special value", "northcott property", "l-functions", "dedekind zeta functions", "axiomatic approach" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
