Gauss sums, Poisson summation the formula , an application to Gauss sums. Dirichlet character explicit determination, proof of the orthogonality laws for characters, the Dirichlet theorem in the general case. Analytic extension at s 0 of the function ζ (s) and of the L-series of Dirichlet. de la Valle Poussin's proof that L-series do not vanish at s = 1 (L (1, χ) 0).
