On the zeta function on the line Re(s) = 1

We show the estimates \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^{-1} dt =e^{-\gamma}/4 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) and \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)| dt =e^{-\gamma} \pi^2/24 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) as well as corresponding results for sup-norm, L^p-norm and other zeta-functions such as the Dirichlet L-functions and certain Rankin-Selberg L-functions. This improves on previous work of Balasubramanian and Ramachandra for small values of \delta and we remark that it implies that the zeta-function is not universal on the line Re(s)=1. We also use recent results of Holowinsky (for Maass wave forms) and Taylor et al. (Sato-Tate for holomorphic cusp forms) to prove lower bounds for the corresponding integral with the Riemann zeta-function replaced with Hecke L-functions and with \delta^2 replaced by \delta^{11/12+\epsilon} and \delta^{8/(3 \pi)+\epsilon} respectively.
