Abstract

Letq be a fixed odd prime. We consider the sequence of Kummer fields\(Q\left( {\mathop \surd \limits^q 1,\mathop {\surd a}\limits^q } \right)\) asa varies. Estimates are given for the global density of zeroes of ArtinL-functions of these fields. These results are obtained by deducing a series representation for the ArtinL-functions that arises naturally in the arithmetic ofQ.
