Can one show $\left|\frac{2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)}{\zeta^3(x)}\right|\leq \frac{2}{(x-\frac{1}{2})^2}$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?

I have found that $\left|\frac{2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)}{\zeta^3(x)}\right|\leq \frac{2}{(x-\frac{1}{2})^2}$ for all real $x$ such that $x>1$ seems to be true. I have plotted the ...

Questions on analytic representations of the Kronecker delta function $\delta(x-1)$ and the Moebius function $\mu(n)$

This question is related to analytic formulas for $a(n)$ where $f_a(x)$ and $F_a(s)$ defined in formulas (1) and (2) below are the summatory function and Dirichlet series associated with $a(n)$. $$...

Error term when truncating series for $1/\zeta(s)$

Let $s=\sigma+it$, $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$, $|t|\geq 1$, say. Using Euler-Maclaurin, one can easily show that, for $x\geq |t|$, $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n^s} + \frac{x^{1-s}}{s-1} + O\left(\...

Mean value theorem for Dirichlet series of prime support?

Let $\{a_n\}_{1\leq n\geq N}$, $a_n\in \mathbb{C}$. Let $F(s) = \sum_{n=1}^N a_n n^{-s}$. By a mean-value theorem (Montgomery-Vaughan, 1973), $$\int_0^T |F(i t)|^2 = \sum_{n=1}^N |a_n|^2 (T + O(n)).$$ ...

Does the Euler product for $L(s,\chi_4)$ also converge in the right half of the critical strip?

This question expands on this one from MSE. In the literature about Dirichlet $L$-series, I found that their Euler products: $$L(s, \chi) =\prod_p \bigg(\frac {1}{1-\frac{\chi(p)}{p^s}} \bigg)$$ ...

Can we extend the twisted Poisson Summation formula with functions having a singularity in zero?

The following "twisted" Poisson Summation formula for $\chi$ primitive of conductor $q$ : $$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\chi(n)f\left(\frac{nx}{\sqrt{q}}\right) = \frac{A}{x}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\bar\chi(n)...

Continuation up to zero of a Dirichlet series with bounded coefficients

Let $a_n$ be a bounded sequence of positive real numbers. Is it the case that the Dirichlet series $\sum \frac{a_n}{n^s}$ can be meromorphically continued up to the right of zero, with at the most a ...

Multiplicative functions whose Dirichlet series have essential singularities

What can be said about the partial sums of a complex-valued completely multiplicative function, let's say bounded by 1 in absolute value, if its Dirichlet series has an essential singularity? As a ...

On the convergence of Dirichlet series over the Mobius Mu function

It is known that if $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\mu(k)}{k^s} = \frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$ for $\Re(s) > 1/2$ then RH holds. My question is: Under RH why is it not $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\mu(k)}{k^s} = ...

Binomial transform of Dirichlet series

Let $\Theta(s)$ be a Dirichlet series , and let $\beta$ be its abscissa of convergence: $$\Theta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\theta(n)}{n^{s}}\;\;\;\;\;\;\Re(s)>\beta$$ And let $\left\{a_{n}\right\}...

Can one show $h(x)=|2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)|$ is a decreasing function for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?

This question is related to This question. When I tried to approach it I couldn't even proof that the LHS is a decreasing function on the given domain using regular methods. I have tried to write the ...

Generalizing closed form representations related to conjectured analytic formulas for $f_a(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x a(n)$

Consider the summatory function $f_a(x)$ defined in formula (1) below where the related Dirichlet series $F_a(s)$ defined in formula (2) below converges for $\Re(s)\ge 2$. $$f_a(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^...

On a certain integral representation for Dirichlet L-functions

It is an ancient result of Jensen that $$(s-1)\zeta(s)=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(1/2+it)^{1-s}}{\cosh^{2}\pi t} \mathrm{d}t$$ where $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function. Is ...

What is the relationship between the abscissa of holomorphy and abscissa of convergence of a Dirichlet series

Given a Dirichlet series $$\phi(s)=\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{a_n}{n^s}$$ let $\sigma_{\text{conv}}\in\bar{\mathbb{R}}$ its abscissa of convergence, then we know that $\phi(s)$ is holomorphic on the half-plan $...

Analytic continuation of Euler product $\prod_{p} (1 - e^{-2 \pi i p \alpha}p^{-s})^{-1}$

Is anything useful known about the function defined by \[ f(s, \alpha) = \prod_{p} (1 - e^{-2 \pi i p \alpha}p^{-s})^{-1} \quad ? \] Here, $\alpha$ is real. When $\alpha = 1$, this is certainly the ...
