Abstract

Let a,w1,w2,,wr>0a, w_1, w_2,\cdot\cdot\cdot, w_r >0 and sCs \in \mathbb{C}. We put w=(w1,,wr)w= (w_1,\cdot\cdot\cdot,w_r). Then the Barnes rr-ple zeta function is defined by ζr(s,w,a)=m1=0mr=01/(a+m1w1++mrwr)s\zeta_r(s, w, a) = \sum_{m_1=0}^{\infty} \cdot\cdot\cdot \sum_{m_r=0}^{\infty} 1/(a+m_1w_1+\cdot\cdot\cdot +m_rw_r)^s when σ:=(s)>r\sigma := \Re(s)>r. In this paper, we show that the Barnes double zeta function ζ2(σ,w,a)\zeta_2(\sigma, w, a) has real zeros in the interval (1,2)(1,2) if and only if 0<a<(w1+w2)/20< a < (w_1+w_2)/2 and the number of such zero is precisely one if 0<a<(w1+w2)/20< a< (w_1+w_2)/2.
