On the absolute convergence of automorphic Dirichlet series

Abstract

Let $F(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a_n}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series in the axiomatically defined class ${\mathfrak A}^{\#}$ . The class ${\mathfrak A}^{\#}$ is known to contain the extended Selberg class ${\mathcal S}^{\#}$, as well as all the $L$-functions of automorphic forms on $GL_n/K$, where $K$ is a number field. Let $d$ be the degree of $F(s)$. We show that $\sum_{n<X}|a_n|=Ω(X^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2d}})$, and hence, that the abscissa of absolute convergence of $σ_a$ of $F(s)$ must satisfy $σ_a\ge 1/2+1/2d$.
