Artin L-functions to almost monomial Galois groups

Abstract: If $K/\mathbb Q$ is a finite Galois extension with an almost monomial Galois group and if $s_0\in\mathbb C\setminus{1}$ is not a common zero for any two Artin L-functions associated to distinct complex irreducible characters of the Galois group then all Artin L-functions of $K/\mathbb Q$ are holomorphic at $s_0$. We present examples and basic properties of almost monomial groups.
