Shintani's zeta function is not a finite sum of Euler products
arXiv:1112.1397
Abstract
We prove that the Shintani zeta function associated to the space of binary cubic forms cannot be written as a finite sum of Euler products. Our proof also extends to several closely related Dirichlet series. This answers a question of Wright in the negative.
