Deligne's archimedean Gamma-factors #
In the theory of L-series one frequently encounters the following functions (of a complex variable
s
) introduced in Deligne's landmark paper Valeurs de fonctions L et periodes d'integrales:
$$ \Gamma_{\mathbb{R}}(s) = \pi ^ {-s / 2} \Gamma (s / 2) $$
and
$$ \Gamma_{\mathbb{C}}(s) = 2 (2 \pi) ^ {-s} \Gamma (s). $$
These are the factors that need to be included in the Dedekind zeta function of a number field for each real, resp. complex, infinite place.
(Note that these are not the same as Mathlib's Real.Gamma
vs. Complex.Gamma
; Deligne's
functions both take a complex variable as input.)
This file defines these functions, and proves some elementary properties, including a reflection formula which is an important input in functional equations of (un-completed) Dirichlet L-functions.

Real.Gamma
; in particular it is a function ℂ → ℂ
