Selberg’s conjectures and Artin $$L$$-functions. (English) Zbl 0805.11062
Selberg’s conjectures describe Dirichlet series with an analytic continuation, functional equation, Euler product and a Ramanujan hypothesis. The conjectures and some of their consequences are described in J. B. Conrey and A. Ghosh [Duke Math. J. 72, 673-693 (1993; Zbl 0796.11037)]. Roughly speaking the conjectures can be viewed as an alternative to the Langlands programme, but with a more analytic flavour. The present paper strengthens this connection by showing that the Selberg conjectures imply Artin’s conjecture on the holomorphy of $$L$$-functions attached to nontrivial irreducible representations of finite Galois extensions. Indeed it is shown that the Langlands reciprocity conjecture also follows, for those extensions $$K/k$$ with $$K/ \mathbb{Q}$$ solvable.
