In 2011, M.R. Murty and V.K. Murty
[10] proved that if
L(s,χD) is the Dirichlet
L -series attached a quadratic character
χD, and
L′(1,χD)=0, then
eγ is transcendental. This paper investigates such phenomena in wider collections of
L-functions, with a special emphasis on Artin
L -functions. Instead of
s=1, we consider
s=1/2. More precisely, we prove that
is transcendental with some rational number
α . In particular, if we have
L(1/2,χ)≠0 and
L′(1/2,χ)=0 for some Artin
L -series, we deduce the transcendence of
eγ.
