Over a fixed arithmetic world and sums data, the L-function world is the interface for the analytic objects of the source. It carries abstract types of finite-order Hecke characters of K = Q(sqrt(-3)) and of Dirichlet characters with their trivial characters; the coefficients of a Hecke character on the primary elements, completely multiplicative and of modulus one on the elements prime to S; the Hecke and Dirichlet L-functions as abstract functions from C to C; the quadratic base change from Dirichlet to Hecke characters through the norm, the product of Dirichlet characters, the nontrivial character chi_{-3} modulo 3, the Euler factors removed by the base change and nonzero on the half-plane Re s > 0, the base change identity L_K(s, chi o N) = L(s, chi) L(s, chi chi_{-3}) up to those factors away from s = 1 and at s = 1, the triviality transfer, and Dirichlet's nonvanishing theorem L(1, chi_{-3}) != 0; and the Mellin-transform data: the Mellin transform of the smoothed Mobius sums for a Hecke character and a weight, the Mellin transform of the weight, the Euler-product correction L^S = L eS with eS nonzero on the half-plane Re s > 11/12, the nonvanishing of the weight transform on that half-plane, and the conditional Mellin identity: under the power-saving predicate for the coefficient sequence mu nu, the Euler product outside S inverts the smoothed transform on the half-plane. The power-saving predicate MobiusSaving states that for every eps > 0 there is k with |A_1(D)| <= k D^(11/12 + eps) for all D >= 2.

# The Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis: the L-function world

The L-functions of the source, in the form of an interface: the
finite-order Hecke characters of K = Q(√−3) and the Dirichlet characters
as abstract types, their L-functions as abstract functions, the quadratic
base change with its χ₋₃ twist and the Euler factors it removes,
Dirichlet's nonvanishing theorem at s = 1 for χ₋₃, and the Mellin
transform data through which a power saving for the smoothed Möbius sums
propagates to nonvanishing of the Hecke L-function on the half-plane
Re s > 11/12 (section 3 of the paper). Hecke's meromorphic continuation
and the identity theorem are carried by the Mellin identity field.

/-- The power-saving estimate for the smoothed twisted Möbius sums
(equation 2.1 of the source): for every ε > 0 the sums A₁(D) satisfy
|A₁(D)| ≤ k · D^(11/12 + ε) for all D ≥ 2. This is the form in which
the mean-square estimate of Proposition 3.1 feeds the zero-free
argument. -/

/-- The L-function world: the finite-order Hecke characters of
K = Q(√−3) and the Dirichlet characters, their L-functions, the
quadratic base change χ ↦ χ ∘ N with its χ₋₃ twist, the Euler factors
removed by the base change, Dirichlet's nonvanishing theorem for χ₋₃ at
s = 1, and the Mellin-transform data. The fields asserting equations are
the analytic inputs of the source: the base change identity, Dirichlet's
nonvanishing theorem, and the conditional Mellin identity of section 3,
which packages Hecke's meromorphic continuation and the identity
theorem. -/
