Questions tagged [riemann-zeta-function]

The Riemann zeta function is the function of one complex variable $s$ defined by the series $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1}{n^s}$ when $\operatorname{Re}(s)>1$. It admits a meromorphic continuation to $\mathbb{C}$ with only a simple pole at $1$. This function satisfies a functional equation relating the values at $s$ and $1-s$. This is the most simple example of an $L$-function and a central object of number theory.

$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n\leq x} n^{-s} - x^{1-s}/(1-s) + ...$ through bounded-order Euler-Maclaurin?

It is a basic classical result (Titchmarsh Thm 4.11; credited to Hardy-Littlewood) that, uniformly for $\Re s \geq \sigma_0>0$, $t\leq 6 x$ (say), $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n^s} - \frac{...

Integral of $|1/\zeta(\sigma+i T)|$ (or $|(1/\zeta(\sigma+i T))^{(k)}|$) on a horizontal half-line in the left upper quadrant

Let $T_0\geq 20$. Let $L$ be the half-line from $-\infty + i T$ to (say) $-1/2 + i T$. Since $|\zeta(s)|$ is roughly proportional to $(T/2 \pi e)^\sigma$ for $s=\sigma+ i T$ on $L$, it is clear that ...
