In mathematics, the Shimizu L-function, introduced by Hideo Shimizu (1963), is a Dirichlet series associated to a totally real algebraic number field. Michael Francis Atiyah, H. Donnelly, and I. M. Singer (1983) defined the signature defect of the boundary of a manifold as the eta invariant, the value as s=0 of their eta function, and used this to show that Hirzebruch's signature defect of a cusp of a Hilbert modular surface can be expressed in terms of the value at s=0 or 1 of a Shimizu L-function.

Definition

Suppose that K is a totally real algebraic number field, M is a lattice in the field, and V is a subgroup of maximal rank of the group of totally positive units preserving the lattice. The Shimizu L-series is given by

${\displaystyle L(M,V,s)=\sum _{\mu \in \{M-0\}/V}{\frac {\operatorname {sign} N(\mu )}{|N(\mu )|^{s}}}}$
