Dirichlet character

In number theory, Dirichlet characters are certain arithmetic functions which arise from completely multiplicative characters on the units of \mathbb Z / k \mathbb Z . Dirichlet characters are used to define Dirichlet ''L''-functions, which are meromorphic functions with a variety of interesting analytic properties.
If \chi is a Dirichlet character, one defines its Dirichlet ''L''-series by
:L(s,\chi) = \sum_^\infty \frac
where ''s'' is a complex number with real part > 1. By analytic continuation, this function can be extended to a meromorphic function on the whole complex plane. Dirichlet ''L''-functions are generalizations of the Riemann zeta-function and appear prominently in the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
Dirichlet characters are named in honour of Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet.
==Axiomatic definition==
A Dirichlet character is any function \chi from the integers \mathbb to the complex numbers \mathbb such that \chi has the following properties:〔Montgomery & Vaughan (2007) pp.117–8〕
#There exists a positive integer ''k'' such that χ(''n'') = χ(''n'' + ''k'') for all ''n''.
#If gcd(''n'',''k'') > 1 then χ(''n'') = 0; if gcd(''n'',''k'') = 1 then χ(''n'') ≠ 0.
#χ(''mn'') = χ(''m'')χ(''n'') for all integers ''m'' and ''n''.
From this definition, several other properties can be deduced.
By property 3), χ(1)=χ(1×1)=χ(1)χ(1). Since gcd(1, ''k'') = 1, property 2) says χ(1) ≠ 0, so
  1. χ(1) = 1.

Properties 3) and 4) show that every Dirichlet character χ is completely multiplicative.
Property 1) says that a character is periodic with period ''k''; we say that \chi is a character to the modulus ''k''. This is equivalent to saying that
  1. If ''a'' ≡ ''b'' (mod ''k'') then χ(''a'') = χ(''b'').

If gcd(''a'',''k'') = 1, Euler's theorem says that ''a''φ(''k'') ≡ 1 (mod ''k'') (where φ(''k'') is the totient function). Therefore by 5) and 4), χ(''a''φ(''k'')) = χ(1) = 1, and by 3), χ(''a''φ(''k'')) =χ(''a'')φ(''k''). So
  1. For all ''a'' relatively prime to ''k'', χ(''a'') is a φ(''k'')-th complex root of unity.

The unique character of period 1 is called the trivial character. Note that any character vanishes at 0 except the trivial one, which is 1 on all integers.
A character is called principal if it assumes the value 1 for arguments coprime to its modulus and otherwise is 0.〔Montgomery & Vaughan (2007) p.115〕 A character is called real if it assumes real values only. A character which is not real is called complex.〔Montgomery & Vaughan (2007) p.123〕
The sign of the character \chi depends on its value at −1. Specifically, \chi is said to be odd if \chi (-1) = -1 and even if \chi (-1) = 1.
