### On the value distribution of two Dirichlet $\boldsymbol L$-functions

#### Abstract

Let $\rho$ denote the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We study the relative value distribution of $L(\rho+\sigma,\chi_{1})$ and $L(\rho+\sigma,\chi_{2})$, where $\sigma\in[0,1/2)$ is fixed and $\chi_{1}$, $\chi_{2}$ are two fixed Dirichlet characters to distinct prime moduli. For $\sigma>0$ we prove that a positive proportion of these pairs of values are linearly independent over $\mathbb{R}$, which implies that the arguments of the values are different. For $\sigma=0$ we show that, up to height $T$, the values are different for $cT$ of the Riemann zeros for some positive constant $c$.
