Abstract
We give a simple proof that critical values of any Artin L-function attached to a representation ϱ with character χ ϱ are stable under twisting by a totally even character χ, up to the dim ϱ-th power of the Gauss sum related to χ and an element in the field generated by the values of χ ϱ and χ over ℚ. This extends a result of Coates and Lichtenbaum as well as the previous work of Ward.
