Abstract

Let dd be a real number, let ss be in a fixed compact set of the strip 1/2<σ<11/2<\sigma<1, and let L(s,χ)L(s, \chi) be the Dirichlet LL-function. The hypothesis is that for any real number dd there exist 'many' real numbers τ\tau such that the shifts L(s+iτ,χ)L(s+i\tau, \chi) and L(s+idτ,χ)L(s+id\tau, \chi) are 'near' each other. If dd is an algebraic irrational number then this was obtained by T. Nakamura. \L. Pa\'nkowski solved the case then dd is a transcendental number. We prove the case then d0d\ne0 is a rational number. If d=0d=0 then by B. Bagchi we know that the above hypothesis is equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis for the given Dirichlet LL-function. We also consider a more general version of the above problem.

Unfortunately the proof of Theorem 1 contains a gap. The gap is partially covered in T. Nakamura and L. Pankowski, Erratum to: The generalized strong recurrence for non-zero rational parameters, Arch. Math. 99 (2012), 43-47. Theorem 2 is not affected by this gap. J. Number Theory, 131(7) (2011)
