L-series of Dirichlet characters and arithmetic functions #
We collect some results on L-series of specific (arithmetic) functions, for example,
the Möbius function μ or the von Mangoldt function Λ. In particular, we show that
L ↗Λ is the negative of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function
on re s > 1; see LSeries_vonMangoldt_eq_deriv_riemannZeta_div.
We also prove some general results on L-series associated to Dirichlet characters
(i.e., Dirichlet L-series). For example, we show that the abscissa of absolute convergence
equals 1 (see DirichletCharacter.absicssaOfAbsConv) and that the L-series does not
vanish on the open half-plane re s > 1 (see DirichletCharacter.LSeries_ne_zero_of_one_lt_re).
We deduce results on the Riemann zeta function (which is L 1 or L ↗ζ on re s > 1)
as special cases.
