$\sum_n a_n/n$, $\sum_n a_n/n^\rho$, $\sum_n a_n$… Tauberian theorems?

In analytic number theory, it is common to prove that $$\sum_{n\leq N} \frac{a_n}{n} = o(\log N)\tag{$\star$}\label{476699_star}$$ for some sequence $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$, $a_n\in \mathbb{C}$. (It is ...

Is there a conjecture about the bounds (constant or a function) of $\sum_{n \le x} \mu(n)/\sqrt{n}$

Here $\mu(n)$ is Möbius function and $M(x)$ is Mertens function. The computations show that the partial sums $\sum_{n \le x} \frac{\mu(n)}{\sqrt{n}}$ stays between $-0.2$ and $-1.2$ when $10^1<x<...

Arithmetic properties of error terms in divergent series

Most people know the famous equation $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k = -\frac{1}{12}$, justified for example by interpreting the LHS as $\zeta(-1)$. My question: does the sequence $\{\frac{1}{12}+\sum_{k=1}^n ...

Possible regularisation for sum of function of primes

Consider the following sum of function of primes: $$-\sum_{p}\ln\left( 1 - \frac{1}{(ep)^{1/2}} \right){\ln(p)}$$ Here $p$ runs through all primes and $e$ is Euler's constant. We can see that the sum ...

Is there an option to handle Neumann-series when it diverges? (using infinite-sized Carleman matrices)

(I asked this in MSE but did not find resonance, there is also a relation to an older discussion here on summability see here and a followup formulating an $\text{ais}()$ already here) ...
