Abstract:
We consider in detail Selberg's method for proving that
under certain natural assumptions, a positive proportion of the non-trivial zeros
of a linear combination of L-functions from the Selberg class lie on the critical
line. As an example, we provide all the ingredients necessary to prove this result
in the case of a linear combination of L-functions of degree two attached
to automorphic forms.
Keywords:Riemann hypothesis, zeros on the critical line, Selberg class, density theorems, Hecke L-functions.
