Abstract

Let χD\chi_D be the Dirichlet character associated to Q(D)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D}) where D<0D < 0 is a fundamental discriminant. Improving Granville-Stark [DOI:10.1007/s002229900036], we show that LL(1,χD)=16height(j(τD))12logD+C+oD(1), \frac{L'}{L}(1,\chi_D) = \frac{1}{6}\, \mathrm{height}(j(\tau_D)) - \frac{1}{2}\log|D| + C + o_{D\to -\infty}(1), where τD=12(δ+D)\tau_D = \frac 12(-\delta+\sqrt{D}) for Dδ (mod 4)D \equiv \delta ~(\mathrm{mod}~4) and j()j(\cdot) is the jj-invariant function with C=1.057770C = -1.057770\ldots. Assuming the ``uniform'' abcabc-conjecture for number fields, we deduce that L(β,χD)0L(\beta,\chi_D)\ne 0 with β15φ+o(1)logD\beta \geq 1 - \frac{\sqrt{5}\varphi + o(1)}{\log|D|} where φ=1+52\varphi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}, which we improve for smooth DD.
