Riemann Rainbow

David Corfield brings our attention to an AIM press release about the discovery of a new L function. As the blurb explains, this new function L(s) satisfies a degree 3 symmetric functional relation

F(s)qπ3Γ(s2+r1)Γ(s2+r2)Γ(s2+r3)L(s)=F(1-s)

for some integer q, in contrast to the degree 1 behaviour of the Riemann zeta function (for which q=1). Of course I immediately emailed Michael Rubinstein to ask for a reference on the actual values of these Langlands' parameters, as well as values for the first few known zeroes, which lie on the critical line. I eagerly await a reply, but my server may well be treated as a spam generator. In the meantime, Minhyong Kim has kindly provided helpful comments and links.
