Abstract

In this paper, we give an analogue of Wilton’s product formula for Dirichlet series that satisfy Hecke’s functional equation. We apply our results to obtain identities for Hecke series, L-functions associated to modular forms, Ramanujan’s L-function, Epstein zeta functions, Dedekind zeta functions of imaginary quadratic fields and Dirichlet L-functions. A $4$-term product identity for Riemann zeta function is also given.
