The Riemann zeta function is the function of one complex variable $s$ defined by the series $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1}{n^s}$ when $\operatorname{Re}(s)>1$. It admits a meromorphic continuation to $\mathbb{C}$ with only a simple pole at $1$. This function satisfies a functional equation relating the values at $s$ and $1-s$. This is the most simple example of an $L$-function and a central object of number theory.

Zeros of Dirichlet function $L(s,\chi_4)$

I am wondering if there are some know results for the non-trivial roots at ${\rm Re}(s) = \frac{1}{2}$, even maybe a table of the first few roots with $t>0$. This sister function $$ L_4^* (s,\chi_4) = …

Scaled Riemann zeta function with no zero in the critical strip

Update: I added $exp[i\theta_k(s)]$ in the definition of $\eta^*(s)$ to address some critical convergence issues. Thanks for the contributors who pointed to these issues. Prime numbers are denoted as …

Analytic continuation of Euler product $\phi(s)=\prod_p(1+p^{-s})^{-1}$

I am actually interested in the analytic continuation of $\phi_w(s)=\prod_p(1+w\cdot p^{-s})^{-1}$. Here $w$ is rational, or the imaginary unit multiplied by a rational. Consider for now that $w=1$. O …

Analytic continuation and convergence of a Riemann zeta related function

The functions in question are $$L(s)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\lambda(k)}{k^s}=\frac{\zeta(2s)}{\zeta(s)} \mbox{ and } L^*(s)=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\lambda(k)+(-1)^{k+1}}{k^s}=\frac{L(s)+\ …

Abscissa of convergence of transformed Dirichlet series

Let $$F(s)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{f(k)}{k^s} \mbox{ and }F^*(s)=\sum_{k=2}^\infty \frac{f(k)g(k)}{k^s},$$ where the infinite sum $\sum f(k)$ diverges, $f(k)$ and $g(k)$ are real numbers, $s$ a comple …

On some property of the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ in the complex plane

This property is rather elementary, and not at all specific to $\zeta$, so I am wondering if it has any value in studying the zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip. It is a well kno …

Bounds and repulsion domains for the Dirichlet eta function $\eta(\sigma+it)$, for fixed $\s...

Let $\eta(\sigma+it)$ be the Dirichlet eta function, with $t>0$ (the variable) and $\sigma$ be fixed, with $\frac{1}{2}\leq \sigma <2$. I define the hole $\Omega_T =\Omega_T(\sigma)$ as the maximum ci …

Prime races in two competing arithmetic progressions - error bound

I read an article by Andrew Granville on the subject, there's actually quite a bit of recent literature on the topic. My problem is as follows. I have two sequences of primes: $(p_{1,n})$ and $(p_{3,n …

About the coefficients of Taylor series for the complex Riemann Zeta function $\zeta(s)$

The following real-valued functions are closely related to the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ in the critical strip $\frac{1}{2}<\Re(s) < 1$. $$\phi_1(\sigma, t) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^{n+1}\frac{\cos(t\log n) …

Incredibly accurate recursions for the Riemann Zeta function

Last update as of Jan 27, 2021: I posted this as an article for laymen, here. It is very light mathematically speaking, but section 3 is a little more accurate than my post here. During some statistic …

From holes in the image of peculiar functions to new perspective on the Riemann Hypothesis

I am working with the Dirichlet eta function $\eta(z)$, with $z=\sigma+it$, $\sigma > \frac{1}{2}$, and $t>0$. Let us define $$\eta_n(z,\gamma)= \sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^{k+1}\lambda_k^{-\sigma} e^{-it\log k …

Erroneous Wolfram result for $\sum_{k=1}^\infty (k^3 + a^3)^{-1}$, looking for correct formula

I was trying to get some interesting result for $\zeta(3)$, exploring the following function: $$W(a) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^3 + a^3}, \mbox{ with } \lim_{a\rightarrow 0} W(a) = \zeta(3).$$ Let …

Truncated Euler products, Dirichlet eta function, and convergence issues

Can you prove that the following series does not converge if $\frac{1}{2}<\sigma<1$, no matter how close to $1$ sigma is, and no matter how large $t>0$ is? The series is defined as $$W(\sigma,t)=\sum_ …

Generalized prime number theorem and Riemann Hypothesis for non-number math objects

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) = \p …
