Approximating $\zeta'/\zeta$ (and its derivatives) by a finite sum
Let $A(s) = (-\zeta'/\zeta)^{(r)}(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$, where $r\geq 0$. (We can consider $r=0$ first for simplicity.) Say I want to approximate $A(s)$ for $s=1+it$ by a finite sum - preferably a ...

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),
$$\int_0^T |F(i t)|^2 = \sum_{n=1}^N |a_n|^2 (T + O(n)).$$

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)...

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
$\sigma_c(D) = \inf\{\sigma : D \text{ converges in } \mathrm{Re} s > \sigma \}$, ...

A sharper estimate for a generalization of the sum-of-divisors function
I am interested in the function $f_n(m)$ which can be defined by the Dirichlet generating function $$\zeta(s)\zeta(s - 1) \cdots\zeta(s - n + 1) = \sum\limits_{m = 1}^\infty \frac{f_n(m)}{m^s} $$
This ...

Supremum of certain modified zeta functions at 1
Let $D$ be an integer number and let $\chi$ be the Dirichlet character defined by
$$\chi(m) = 0 \text{ if $m$ even, } \chi(m) = (D/m) \text{ if $m$ odd,}$$
where $(D/m)$ denotes the Jacobi symbol. ...

Determining coefficients of a Dirichlet series based on values on a vertical line
Let us suppose we have a Dirichlet series
$$ D(s) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{a(n)}{n^s},$$
and that we know the values of $D(\tfrac{1}{2} + im)$ for $m \in \mathbb{Z}$. Can we recover the coefficients $a(...

Limit of scaled infinite sum with Dirichlet characters modulo 4: is it zero?
I am trying to get an asymptotic formula such as
$$ L_4(s, n) \sim L_4(s) + \rho_n(s)\Lambda_n + \frac{\alpha(s)}{\sqrt{n}} + \frac{\beta(s)}{\sqrt{n\log n}}+\cdots$$
where $L_4(s, n)$ is the first $n$...

How to best approximate $1/\zeta(s)$ by a finite sum
I would like to approximate $1/\zeta(s)$ for $s=1+it$ by a finite sum:
$$\frac{1}{\zeta(1+it)} = \sum_n \frac{\mu(n)}{n} \eta\left(\frac{n}{x}\right) +
\epsilon(t)$$
with $\eta$ a function of compact ...

Question regarding proof of Mertens' estimates in Montgomery-Vaughan's "Multiplicative number theory"
I have been trying to read Theorem 2.7 of Montgomery-Vaughan's "Multiplicative number theory" volume 1, and there is an issue I have run into: in the proof of subpart (e), when they write

Analytic continuation of "composite" zeta function
Let us define the Dirichlet series $$\mathcal C(s):=\sum_{n\text{ composite}}\frac{1}{n^s},\quad P(s):=\sum_{p\text{ prime}}\frac{1}{p^s}.$$
They are absolutely convergent in the half-plane $\sigma>...

Analytically continuing the limit of this series?
Main Question
I believe the following formula gives the right answer:
$$ \lim_{k \to \infty} \lim_{n h \to k} \left( \sum_{r=1}^n c_r f(hr) h\right) = \int_0^\infty f(x) \, dx \times \sum_{r=1}^\...

If the Dirichlet series $L(z,\chi)$ diverges for $\sigma< 1$, does its alternating version converge for some $\sigma_0 < 1$, and conversely?
Here $\chi$ is a completely multiplicative function with $\chi(p)\in\{-1,+1\}$ for any prime $p$, but not necessarily a character. Also $s=\sigma + it$ as usual. The series corresponding to $L(s,\chi)$...

Euler product over subsets of primes
It is well known that
$$\prod_p\,(1-p^{-1})=\frac 1 {\zeta(1)}=0$$
Given an arbitrary prime $\,q\,$ is it true that
$$\prod_{q\,|\,p+1}\,(1-p^{-1})=0\;\;\;?$$
Thanks.

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\...

Extension of Heath-Brown's fourth moment $\sum_ \chi \lvert L (s, \chi) \rvert^4$ to complex characters
Let $L(s, \chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to the character $\chi$.
In his paper A Mean Value Estimate for Real Character Sums, Heath-Brown proves a mean value bound for $L(s,\chi)$...
