Abstract
We study the value distribution of L-functions and uniqueness questions of meromorphic functions sharing one or two sets with L-functions. The results in this paper extend the corresponding results from [J. Steuding, Value Distribution of L-Functions, Lect. Notes Math., Vol. 1877, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2007, p. 152] and [B.Q. Li, A result on value distribution of L-functions, Proc. Am. Math. Soc., 138(6):2071–2077, 2010]. The studied questions in this paper are related to the questions of Gross from [F. Gross, Factorization of meromorphic functions and some open problems, in Complex Analysis, Kentucky 1976. Proceedings of the Conference Held at the University of Kentucky, May 18–22, 1976, Lect. Notes Math., Vol. 599, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1977, pp. 51–69]. Here the meromorphic functions are of finitely many poles in the complex plane.
