when does $h$ exist?

Let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Reimann zeta function in the critical strip. It is easy to see that $$ \zeta(s) = 0 \Longleftrightarrow \Re(\zeta(s))+\Im(\zeta(s)) = 0 ~~~~ \text{and} ~~~~~~ \Re(\zeta(s)) \...

Is the real and imaginary part of the Dirichlet eta function closest to its partial sums when trigonometric function changes signs?

To grasp the question we are concerned with three Theorems 1,2, and 3 in bold font below. First let us consider the Dirichlet eta function $\eta: \mathbb{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ $$ \eta(s) = \sum_{n=...

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 ...

Is this a valid method of extending convergence of the Maclaurin series for $\frac{x}{x+1}$ from $|x|<1$ to $\Re(x)>-1$?

I originally asked this question on Math StackExchange a few months ago and no answers or even comments have yet been posted, so I'm asking this question again here on Math OverFlow. This Math ...

Convergence of scrambled product for Dirichlet-$L$ function with modulo 4 character

A Dirichlet-$L$ function is typically defined by its series, and its Euler product is a consequence of the definition. Here my approach is the other way around. I define the function $$ L_4^*(s) = \...

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 ...
