Abstract

Let F(σ)F(\sigma) be the random Dirichlet series F(σ)=pPXppσF(\sigma)=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}} \frac{X_p}{p^\sigma}, where P\mathcal{P} is an increasing sequence of positive real numbers and (Xp)pP(X_p)_{p\in\mathcal{P}} is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with P(X1=1)=P(X1=1)=1/2\mathbb{P}(X_1=1)=\mathbb{P}(X_1=-1)=1/2. We prove that, for certain conditions on P\mathcal{P}, if pP1p<\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\frac{1}{p}<\infty then with positive probability F(σ)F(\sigma) has no real zeros while if pP1p=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\frac{1}{p}=\infty, almost surely F(σ)F(\sigma) has an infinite number of real zeros.
