6. Approximate formula for L(s, ψ)

Write


Let


Lemma 6.1. Suppose ψ(mod p) ∈ Ψ, |σ − 1/2| < 2α and |t − 2πt0| < L1 + 2. Then


L(s, ψ) = K(s, ψ) + Z(s, ψ)N(1 − s, ψ¯) + O(E1(s, ψ)),


where


and where


Proof. By (4.3) we have


The left side above is, by moving the line of integration to u = −1, equal to


It therefore suffices to show that


For u = −1 we have, by the functional equation (2.2) with θ = ψ,


We first show that


We move the contour of integration in (6.2) to the vertical segments


and


with the horizontal connecting segments


whence (6.2) follows. The proof of (6.1) is therefore reduced to showing that
