Remarks on the generalized Lindelöf Hypothesis

Abstract

Within the study of arithmetical Dirichlet series, those that have a functional equation and Euler product are of particular interest. In 1989 Selberg described a class $\mathcal{S}$ of Dirichlet series through a set of four axioms which possibly contain all of these interesting Dirichlet series and made a number of interesting conjectures. In particular, he conjectured the Riemann Hypothesis for this class. We prove that one consequence of the Riemann Hypothesis for functions in $\mathcal{S}$ is the generalized Lindelöf Hypothesis. Moreover, we give an example of a function $D$ which satisfies the first three of Selberg's axioms but fails the Lindelöf Hypothesis in the $Q$ aspect.
