In mathematics, an Artin ''L''-function is a type of Dirichlet series associated to a linear representation ρ of a Galois group ''G''. These functions were introduced in the 1923 by Emil Artin, in connection with his research into class field theory. Their fundamental properties, in particular the Artin conjecture described below, have turned out to be resistant to easy proof. One of the aims of proposed non-abelian class field theory is to incorporate the complex-analytic nature of Artin ''L''-functions into a larger framework, such as is provided by automorphic forms and Langlands' philosophy. So far, only a small part of such a theory has been put on a firm basis. ==Definition== Given , a representation of on a finite-dimensional complex vector space , where is the Galois group of the finite extension of number fields, the Artin -function: is defined by an Euler product. For each prime ideal in 's ring of integers, there is an Euler factor, which is easiest to define in the case where is unramified in (true for almost all ). In that case, the Frobenius element is defined as a conjugacy class in . Therefore the characteristic polynomial of is well-defined. The Euler factor for is a slight modification of the characteristic polynomial, equally well-defined, : as rational function in ''t'', evaluated at , with a complex variable in the usual Riemann zeta function notation. (Here ''N'' is the field norm of an ideal.) When is ramified, and ''I'' is the inertia group which is a subgroup of ''G'', a similar construction is applied, but to the subspace of ''V'' fixed (pointwise) by ''I''.〔It is arguably more correct to think instead about the coinvariants, the largest quotient space fixed by ''I'', rather than the invariants, but the result here will be the same. Cf. Hasse–Weil L-function for a similar situation.〕 The Artin L-function is then the infinite product over all prime ideals of these factors. As Artin reciprocity shows, when ''G'' is an abelian group these ''L''-functions have a second description (as Dirichlet ''L''-functions when ''K'' is the rational number field, and as Hecke ''L''-functions in general). Novelty comes in with non-abelian ''G'' and their representations. One application is to give factorisations of Dedekind zeta-functions, for example in the case of a number field that is Galois over the rational numbers. In accordance with the decomposition of the regular representation into irreducible representations, such a zeta-function splits into a product of Artin ''L''-functions, for each irreducible representation of ''G''. For example, the simplest case is when ''G'' is the symmetric group on three letters. Since ''G'' has an irreducible representation of degree 2, an Artin ''L''-function for such a representation occurs, squared, in the factorisation of the Dedekind zeta-function for such a number field, in a product with the Riemann zeta-function (for the trivial representation) and an ''L''-function of Dirichlet's type for the signature representation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artin L-function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
