On the non-vanishing of Dirichlet L-values mod p

308 , Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)

Non-vanishing of Dirichlet L-values at one is a classical result in number theory, which is crucial in the proof of infinitely many primes in an arithmetic progression. In this talk, we will speak about Sinnot’s proof of a theorem of Washington on non-vanishing of Dirichlet L-values modulo p
