Abstract

Set K=Q(i)K=\mathbb{Q}(i) and suppose that cZ[i]c\in \mathbb{Z}[i] is a square-free algebraic integer with c1\imod16c\equiv 1 \imod{\langle16\rangle}. Let L(s,χc)L(s,\chi_{c}) denote the Hecke LL-function associated with the quartic residue character modulo cc. For σ>1/2\sigma>1/2, we prove an asymptotic distribution function FσF_{\sigma} for the values of the logarithm of \begin{equation*} L_c(s)= L(s,\chi_c)L(s,\overline{\chi}_{c}), \end{equation*} as cc varies. Moreover, the characteristic function of FσF_{\sigma} is expressed explicitly as a product over the prime ideals of Z[i]\mathbb{Z}[i].
