Recovering $\sum_{n \leq x} a(n)$ from $\sum_{n \leq x} a(n)e^{-n/x}$
In the theory of automorphic forms and multiple Dirichlet series, we often take inverse Mellin transforms of Dirichlet series to come up with Tauberian theorems, like the Ikehara T …

Analytic continuation of the Dirichlet generating series of the multiplicative partition function
Apologies for the lengthy question, but it seems it's the only way i can convey my thoughts. Consider the Dirichlet series:
$$\kappa(s)=\prod_{m=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{1-m^{-s}}=\sum_ …

A rapidly-converging series of the Hasse–Weil L-function associated with an elliptic curve over rationals
I know that for some L-series there is still a rapidly-converging series. My question is about the existence of a such a series for the Dirichlet series of the Hasse–Weil L-functio …

Divergence of Dirichlet series
Suppose $s$ is a complex number with $\Re(s) \in (0,1]$ and ${a_n}$ is a complex sequence converging to $a \neq 0$. Must the Dirichlet series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{a_n}{n^s}$$ d …

Two Dirichlet’s series related to the Divisor Summatory Function and to the Riemann’s zeta-function.
Considering the $\textit{Divisor Summatory Function}$, $D(n)$, defined as
$$
D(n) = \sum_{k=1}^{n}d(k) ,
$$
where
$$
d(n) = \sum_{k|n}^{n}1.
$$
One can observe the following patte …
