Chowla–Chowla nonvanishing conjecture for periodic functions

About 4 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime and let ff be a rational-valued periodic function with period pp. Define its associated LL-function, for [?]s[?]s with [?]Re⁡(s)>1[?]\operatorname{Re}(s)>1, by

L(s,f)=∑n=1∞f(n)ns.L(s,f)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{f(n)}{n^s}.

Chowla–Chowla conjecture. L(2,f)≠0L(2,f)\ne0, except when

f(1)=f(2)=⋯=f(p−1)=f(p)1−p2.f(1)=f(2)=\cdots=f(p-1)=\frac{f(p)}{1-p^2}.

This conjecture concerns nonvanishing of special values of LL-functions attached to arbitrary periodic arithmetic functions and was formulated by P. Chowla and S. Chowla. Its status is not specified in the source.
