 On a Conjecture of Chowla and Milnor In this paper, we investigate a conjecture due to S. and P. Chowla and its generalization by Milnor. These are related to the delicate question of non-vanishing of $L$-functions associated to periodic functions at integers greater than $1$. We report on some progress in relation to these conjectures. In a different vein, we link them to a conjecture of Zagier on multiple zeta values and also to linear independence of polylogarithms.

 Values of the Dedekind Eta Function at Quadratic Irrationalities: Corrigendum Habib Muzaffar of Carleton University has pointed out to the authors that in their paper [A] only the result $\pi_{K,d}(x)+\pi_{K^{-1},d}(x)=\frac{1}{h(d)}\frac{x}{\log x}+O_{K,d}\Bigl(\frac {x}{\log^2x}\Bigr)$ follows from the prime ideal theorem with remainder for ideal classes, and not the stronger result $\pi_{K,d}(x)=\frac{1}{2h(d)}\frac{x}{\log x}+O_{K,d}\Bigl(\frac {x}{\log^2x}\Bigr)$ stated in Lemma~5.2. This necessitates changes in Sections~5 and 6 of [A]. The main results of the paper are not affected by these changes. It should also be noted that, starting on page 177 of [A], each and every occurrence of $o(s-1)$ should be replaced by $o(1)$. Sections~5 and 6 of [A] have been rewritten to incorporate the above mentioned correction and are given below. They should replace the original Sections~5 and 6 of [A].

 Values of the Dedekind Eta Function at Quadratic Irrationalities Let $d$ be the discriminant of an imaginary quadratic field. Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be integers such that $$b^2 - 4ac = d, \quad a > 0, \quad \gcd (a,b,c) = 1.$$ The value of $\bigl|\eta \bigl( (b + \sqrt{d})/2a \bigr) \bigr|$ is determined explicitly, where $\eta(z)$ is Dedekind's eta function $$\eta (z) = e^{\pi iz/12} \prod^\ty_{m=1} (1 - e^{2\pi imz}) \qquad \bigl( \im(z) > 0 \bigr). %\eqno({\rm im}(z)>0).$$ Keywords:Dedekind eta function, quadratic irrationalities, binary quadratic forms, form class groupCategories:11F20, 11E45
