A Look at Chowla's Problem

Number Theory 2020-10-06 v2

Abstract

In this paper we look at the history behind Chowla's problem on the solutions to L(1,f)=0L(1,f) = 0 for periodic ff. We focus on the results given by Baker, Birch and Wirsing on the topic. We briefly discuss recent results due to Chatterjee, Murty and Pathak which give a full solution when combined with the work of Baker, Birch and Wirsing.
