Dirichlet Series that fail to be L-functions
For $\sigma \in \mathbb{R}$, let each $\mathbb{C}_\sigma = \{s \in \mathbb{C} : \Re(s) > \sigma\}$. For a sequence $a_n \in \mathbb{C}$, consider the Dirichlet series $D(s) = \sum_{n\ge 0} a_n n^{-...

Convergence and meromorphic continuation of a Dirichlet series under RH
Consider a Dirichlet series $F(s) = \sum_{n\geq1} \frac{a_{n}}{n^{s}}$ such that $a_{n} = O(1)$. Suppose the Dirichlet series
$$\zeta(s)F(s)=\sum_{n\geq1} \frac{(a\star1)(n)}{n^{s}}$$
converges ...

Analyzing a Dirichlet series with log-oscillating terms via Fourier methods
I am investigating the series $S(z)$ defined as follows:
$$
S(z) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-a}\cos(b\ln(n)),
$$
where $z = a + bi \in \mathbb{C}$, with $0 < a < 1$, and $b \in \mathbb{R}$.
I want ...

Abscissa of convergence for a very specific Dirichlet series / Euler product
I am interested in the convergence of the following Euler product:
$$
\prod_p \frac{1}{1-\chi(p)\cdot p^{-s}}.
$$
The product is over all primes (in increasing order), with $\chi(p)=+1$ if $p \bmod 4 =...

Is $\frac{1}{L(1+it)}$ unbounded?
Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character and $L(s, \chi)$ be the corresponding L-function. Is $$\frac{1}{L(1+it, \chi)}$$ unbounded for $t \in \mathbb{R}$? I'm aware that this is true if $L=\zeta$, but I'm ...

Frequency of large values of the Mertens function
It is known that with $M(x) = \sum_{n\le x}\mu(n)$, there are infinitely many $x$ s.t. $|M(x)|\ge x^{\frac{1}{2} - \varepsilon}$ (see Chapter 15 of Montgomery-Vaughan, for example). Is there any way ...

Characterization of turning points for the Ramanujan's zeta function in the spirit of a definition by Arias de Reyna and van de Lune
In [1] the authors provided a definition and characterization of turning points for the Riemann's zeta function. In this post I denote the Ramanujan's zeta function as $$\varphi(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\...

Suppose $\{a(n)\}_{n\ge 1}$ is a bounded complex sequence. Let $\phi(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} \frac{a(n)}{n^s}$. Obviously, the Dirichlet series $\phi(s)$ is absolutely convergent for $\mathcal{R}(s)>1$. I ...

Does $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}$ converge for $\sigma > \frac{1}{2}$?
Looking at @Lucia's answer to this question it appears $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}$ converges for $\sigma > \frac{1}{2}$. Can someone point me to a proof or provide proof for this? If I ...

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 ...

Gap Between Abscissae of Conditional Convergence and Holomorphicity for Dirichlet Series
For a Dirichlet series, $D = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ we may define the abscissae, in (non-strictly) increasing order
$\sigma_c(D) = \inf\{\sigma : D \text{ converges in } \mathrm{Re} s > \sigma \}$, ...

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 $...
