Natural-boundary conjecture for non-cyclotomic Euler products

About 19 years old · traced to

Let

h(X1,X2)=1+∑i=1r(ai0+ai1X1+⋯+ainiX1ni)X2i∈Z[X1,X2]h(X_1,X_2)=1+\sum_{i=1}^{r}(a_{i0}+a_{i1}X_1+\cdots+a_{in_i}X_1^{n_i})X_2^i\in\mathbb{Z}[X_1,X_2]

be a polynomial that is not a finite product of cyclotomic polynomials as in the Rudnick–du Sautoy conjecture, and suppose that all cyclotomic factors of h(X1,X2)h(X_1,X_2) have been removed. Set

β=max⁡{nii:i∈1,…,r}.\beta=\operatorname{max}\left\{\frac{n_i}{i}:i\in\\{1,\dots,r\\}\right\}.

Natural-boundary conjecture. The function

Z(s)=∏p primeh(p−s,p)Z(s)=\prod_{p\\ \ \textrm{prime}}h(p^{-s},p)

admits Re⁡(s)=β\operatorname{Re}(s)=\beta as a natural boundary of meromorphy: it can be meromorphically continued to s∈C:Re⁡(s)>β\\{s\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Re}(s)>\beta\\}, but it has no meromorphic continuation beyond the line Re⁡(s)=β\operatorname{Re}(s)=\beta. The claim specifies the expected maximal domain for the non-cyclotomic case after cyclotomic factors are removed. Its resolution status is not supplied in the provided text.
