Abstract

Let x1,…, xn be the roots of an irreducible equation of degree n over Q. Under what conditions can we have nontrivial" relations a1X1+ … +anX1=0(an ϵ Q) ? In some cases it is shown that the nonexistence of nontrivial relations depends on the nonvanishing of Dirichlet's series L(s, Χ) at s = 1, when Χ is a character with Χ(−1) = −1.
