On linear independence of Dirichlet $L$ values

  • Dr. Neelam Kandhil (currently a post doc in Bonn University, Germany)

The study of linear independence of $L(k, \chi)$ for a fixed integer $k> 1$
and varying $\chi$ depends critically on the parity of $k$ vis-\`a-vis $\chi$.
Several authors have explored this phenomenon for Dirichlet characters $\chi$ with fixed modulus
and having the same parity as $k$. We extend this investigation to families of Dirichlet
characters modulo distinct pairwise co-prime natural numbers across arbitrary number fields.
In the process, we determine the dimension of the multi-dimensional generalization of cotangent values
and the sum of generalized Chowla-Milnor spaces over the linearly disjoint number fields.
