Abstract

It is shown that an $L$ function is unimodal if its Levy spectral function has support on $(-\infty, 0\rbrack$ or on $\lbrack 0, \infty)$, and that this implies that every $L$ function is the convolution of at most two unimodal $L$ functions. Other results concerning the unimodality of $L$ functions and other infinitely divisible distribution functions are also obtained.
