Zero-density estimates for Epstein zeta functions

Abstract

We investigate the zeros of Epstein zeta functions associated with a positive definite quadratic form with rational coefficients in the vertical strip ${\sigma }_1<\Re s<{\sigma }_2$, where $1/2<{\sigma }_1<{\sigma }_2<1$. When the class number of the quadratic form is bigger than 1, Voronin gives a lower bound and Lee gives an asymptotic formula for the number of zeros. In this paper, we improve their results by providing a new upper bound for the error term.
