On the Northcott property of zeta functions over function fields

Number Theory 2022-02-18 v1

Abstract

Pazuki and Pengo defined a Northcott property for special values of zeta functions of number fields and certain motivic LL-functions. We determine the values for which the Northcott property holds over function fields with constant field Fq\mathbb{F}_q outside the critical strip. We then use a case by case approach for some values inside the critical strip, notably Re(s)<12log2logqRe (s) < \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\log 2}{\log q} and for ss real such that 1/2s11/2 \leq s \leq 1, and we obtain a partial result for complex ss in the case 1/2<Re(s)11/2< Re(s)\leq 1 using recent advances on the Shifted Moments Conjecture over function fields.
