Extract

1. Let

be a positive definite binary quadratic form with determinant αβ − δ2 = 1. A special form of this kind is

We consider the Epstein zeta-function

the series converging for . The function Zh(s) can be analytically continued over the whole s-plane and it is regular except for a simple pole with residue π at s = 1.
