Abstract: We give a simple proof that critical values of any Artin $L$-function attached to a representation $\rho$ with character $\chi_{\rho}$ are stable under twisting by a totally even character $\chi$, up to the $\dim\rho$-th power of the Gauss sum related to $\chi$ and an element in the field generated by the values of $\chi_{\rho}$ and $\chi$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. This extends a result of Coates and Lichtenbaum as well as the previous work of Ward.

Keywords: Artin $L$-function; character; Galois Gauss sum; special value
