Title:Riesz type criteria for $L$-functions in the Selberg class

Abstract:We formulate a generalization of Riesz-type criteria in the setting of $L$-functions belonging to the Selberg class. We obtain a criterion which is sufficient for the Grand Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for $L$-functions satisfying axioms of the Selberg class without imposing the Ramanujan hypothesis on their coefficients. We also construct a subclass of the Selberg class and prove a necessary criterion for GRH for $L$-functions in this subclass. Identities of Ramanujan-Hardy-Littlewood type are also established in this setting, specific cases of which yield new transformation formulas involving special values of the Meijer $G$-function of the type $G^{n \ 0}_{0 \ n}$.
