In this thesis we study a zeta function associated with the space of binary quadratic forms with coefficients in a function field of characteristic different from two. We establish the convergence, analytic continuation, and the functional equation for this zeta function. The method we use is that of T. Shintani as illustrated in the work of B. Datskovsky and D. J. Wright using adelic analysis.; As an application of studying this adelic zeta function, we obtain a mean value theorem for class numbers of quadratic extensions of a function field. This will be achieved by first conducting some local analysis. This local analysis amounts to studying certain integrals, which we call orbital zeta functions, that appear in a natural way as local factors of the adelic: zeta function we started with. Next we put together the global and local information we obtained to construct a sequence of Dirichlet series. Studying some analytic properties of this sequence of Dirichlet series will yield the mean value theorem.

Wright的研究中所采用的方法。作为研究此adelic zeta函数的一种应用,我们获得了函数域二次扩展的类数的均值定理。这将通过首先进行一些局部分析来实现。这种局部分析等于研究某些积分,我们称其为轨道zeta函数,这些积分以自然的方式出现在我们开始的adelic:zeta函数的局部因素中。接下来,我们将获得的全局和局部信息放在一起,以构造Dirichlet级数序列。研究此Dirichlet级数序列的某些解析性质将得出平均值定理。
