Definition 20
#

Given a complex function \(f\), we define the function

\[ g(z):=\begin{cases} \frac{f(z)}{z}, & z\neq 0;\\ f’(0), & z=0. \end{cases} \]
Lemma 99
#

Let \(f\) be a complex function and let \(z\neq 0\). Then, with \(g\) defined as in Definition 20,

\[ g(z)=\frac{f(z)}{z}. \]
Proof

This follows directly from the definition of \(g\).

Lemma 100
#

Let \(f\) be a complex function analytic on an open set \(s\) containing \(0\) such that \(f(0)=0\). Then, with \(g\) defined as in Definition 20, \(g\) is analytic on \(s\).

Proof

We need to show that \(g\) is complex differentiable at every point in \(s\). For \(z\neq 0\), this follows directly from the definition of \(g\) and the fact that \(f\) is analytic on \(s\). For \(z=0\), we use the definition of the derivative and the fact that \(f(0)=0\):

\[ \lim _{z\to 0}\frac{g(z)-g(0)}{z-0}=\lim _{z\to 0}\frac{\frac{f(z)}{z}-f'(0)}{z}=\lim _{z\to 0}\frac{f(z)-f'(0)z}{z^2}=\lim _{z\to 0}\frac{f(z)-f(0)-f'(0)(z-0)}{(z-0)^2}=0, \]

where the last equality follows from the definition of the derivative of \(f\) at \(0\). Thus, \(g\) is complex differentiable at \(0\) with derivative \(0\), completing the proof.

Lemma 101
#

Let \(f\) be a complex function analytic on the closed ball \(\abs {z}\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\). Then, with \(g\) defined as in Definition 20, \(g\) is analytic on \(\abs {z}\leq R\).

Proof

The proof is similar to that of Lemma 100, but we need to consider two cases: when \(x\) is on the boundary of the closed ball and when it is in the interior. In the first case, we take a small open ball around \(x\) that lies entirely within the closed ball, and apply Lemma 100 on this smaller ball. In the second case, we can take the entire open ball centered at \(0\) with radius \(R\), and again apply Lemma 100. In both cases, we use the fact that \(f(0)=0\) to ensure that the removable singularity at \(0\) is handled correctly.

Definition 21
#

Given a complex function \(f\) and a real number \(M\), we define the function

\[ f_{M}(z):=\frac{g(z)}{2M - f(z)}, \]

where \(g\) is defined as in Definition 20.

Lemma 102
#

Let \(M{\gt}0\). Let \(f\) be analytic on the closed ball \(\abs {z}\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\) and suppose that \(2M - f(z)\neq 0\) for all \(\abs {z}\leq R\). Then, with \(f_{M}\) defined as in Definition 21, \(f_{M}\) is analytic on \(\abs {z}\leq R\).

Proof

This follows directly from Lemma 101 and the fact that the difference of two analytic functions is analytic.

Lemma 103
#

Let \(M{\gt}0\) and let \(x\) be a complex number such that \(\Re x\leq M\). Then, \(\abs {x}\leq \abs {2M - x}\).

Proof

We square both sides and simplify to obtain the equivalent inequality

\[ 0\leq 4M^2 -4M\Re x, \]

which follows directly from the assumption \(\Re x\leq M\) and the positivity of \(M\).

Theorem 24 BorelCaratheodory
#

Let \(R,\, M{\gt}0\). Let \(f\) be analytic on \(\abs {z}\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\) and suppose \(\Re f(z)\leq M\) for all \(\abs {z}\leq R\). Then for any \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R\),

\[ \sup _{\abs {z}\leq r}\abs {f(z)}\leq \frac{2Mr}{R-r}. \]

This upstreamed from https://github.com/math-inc/strongpnt/tree/main

Theorem 25 borelCaratheodory_closedBall
#

Let \(R,\, M{\gt}0\). Let \(f\) be analytic on \(|z|\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\) and suppose \(\Re f(z)\leq M\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). Then for any \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R\),

\[ \sup _{|z|\leq r}|f(z)|\leq \frac{2Mr}{R-r}. \]
Proof

Let

\[ f_M(z)=\frac{f(z)/z}{2M-f(z)}. \]

Note that \(2M-f(z)\neq 0\) because \(\Re (2M-f(z))=2M-\Re f(z)\geq M{\gt}0\). Additionally, since \(f(z)\) has a zero at \(0\), we know that \(f(z)/z\) is analytic on \(|z|\leq R\). Likewise, \(f_M(z)\) is analytic on \(|z|\leq R\).

Now note that \(|f(z)|\leq |2M-f(z)|\) since \(\Re f(z)\leq M\). Thus we have that

\[ |f_M(z)|=\frac{|f(z)|/|z|}{|2M-f(z)|}\leq \frac{1}{|z|}. \]

Now by the maximum modulus principle, we know the maximum of \(|f_M|\) must occur on the boundary where \(|z|=R\). Thus, \(|f_M(z)|\leq 1/R\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). So for \(|z|=r\) we have

\[ |f_M(z)|=\frac{|f(z)|/r}{|2M-f(z)|}\leq \frac{1}{R}\implies R\, |f(z)|\leq r\, |2M-f(z)|\leq 2Mr+r\, |f(z)|. \]

Which by algebraic manipulation gives

\[ |f(z)|\leq \frac{2Mr}{R-r}. \]

Once more, by the maximum modulus principle, we know the maximum of \(|f|\) must occur on the boundary where \(|z|=r\). Thus, the desired result immediately follows

Lemma 104 DerivativeBound
#

Let \(R,\, M{\gt}0\) and \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} r' {\lt} R\). Let \(f\) be analytic on \(|z|\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\) and suppose \(\Re f(z)\leq M\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). Then we have that

\[ |f'(z)|\leq \frac{2M(r')^2}{(R-r')(r'-r)^2} \]

for all \(|z|\leq r\).

Proof

By Cauchy’s integral formula we know that

\[ f'(z)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint _{|w|=r'}\frac{f(w)}{(w-z)^2}\, dw=\frac{1}{2\pi }\int _0^{2\pi }\frac{r'e^{it}\, f(r'e^{it})}{(r'e^{it}-z)^2}\, dt. \]

Thus,

\begin{equation} \label{pickupPoint1} |f'(z)|=\left|\frac{1}{2\pi }\int _0^{2\pi }\frac{r'e^{it}\, f(r'e^{it})}{(r'e^{it}-z)^2}\, dt\right|\leq \frac{1}{2\pi }\int _0^{2\pi }\left|\frac{r'e^{it}\, f(r'e^{it})}{(r'e^{it}-z)^2}\right|\, dt. \end{equation}
3

Now applying Theorem 25, and noting that \(r'-r\leq |r'e^{it}-z|\), we have that

\[ \left|\frac{r'e^{it}\, f(r'e^{it})}{(r'e^{it}-z)^2}\right|\leq \frac{2M(r')^2}{(R-r')(r'-r)^2}. \]

Substituting this into Equation (3) and evaluating the integral completes the proof.

Theorem 26 BorelCaratheodoryDeriv
#

Let \(R,\, M{\gt}0\). Let \(f\) be analytic on \(|z|\leq R\) such that \(f(0)=0\) and suppose \(\Re f(z)\leq M\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). Then for any \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R\),

\[ |f'(z)|\leq \frac{16MR^2}{(R-r)^3} \]

for all \(|z|\leq r\).

Proof

Using Lemma 104 with \(r'=(R+r)/2\), and noting that \(r {\lt} R\), we have that

\[ |f'(z)|\leq \frac{4M(R+r)^2}{(R-r)^3}\leq \frac{16MR^2}{(R-r)^3}. \]
Theorem 27 LogOfAnalyticFunction
#

Let \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\). Let \(B:\overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\) with \(B(z)\neq 0\) for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\). Then there exists \(J_B:\overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\to \mathbb {C}\) that is analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\) such that

  • \(J_B(0)=0\)

  • \(J_B'(z)=B'(z)/B(z)\)

  • \(\log |B(z)|-\log |B(0)|=\Re J_B(z)\)

for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\).

Proof

We let \(J_B(z)=\mathrm{Log}\, B(z)-\mathrm{Log}\, B(0)\). Then clearly, \(J_B(0)=0\) and \(J_B'(z)=B'(z)/B(z)\). Showing the third property is a little more difficult, but by no standards terrible. Exponentiating \(J_B(z)\) we have that

\[ \exp (J_B(z))=\exp (\mathrm{Log}\, B(z)-\mathrm{Log}\, B(0))=\frac{B(z)}{B(0)}\implies B(z)=B(0)\exp (J_B(z)). \]

Now taking the modulus

\[ |B(z)|=|B(0)|\cdot |\exp (J_B(z))|=|B(0)|\cdot \exp (\Re J_B(z)). \]

Taking the real logarithm of both sides and rearranging gives the third point.

Definition 22 SetOfZeros
#

Let \(R{\gt}0\) and \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\to \mathbb {C}\). Define the set of zeros \(\mathcal{K}_f(R)=\{ \rho \in \mathbb {C}:|\rho |\leq R,\, f(\rho )=0\} \).

Definition 23 ZeroOrder
#

Let \(0 {\lt} R{\lt}1\) and \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analtyic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\). For any zero \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R)\), we define \(m_f(\rho )\) as the order of the zero \(\rho \) w.r.t \(f\).

Lemma 105 ZeroFactorization
#

Let \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)\neq 0\). For all \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(1)\) there exists \(h_\rho (z)\) that is analytic at \(\rho \), \(h_\rho (\rho )\neq 0\), and \(f(z)=(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}\, h_\rho (z)\).

Proof

Since \(f\) is analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) we know that there exists a series expansion about \(\rho \):

\[ f(z)=\sum _{0\leq n}a_n\, (z-\rho )^n. \]

Now if we let \(m\) be the smallest number such that \(a_m\neq 0\), then

\[ f(z)=\sum _{0\leq n}a_n\, (z-\rho )^n=\sum _{m\leq n}a_n\, (z-\rho )^n=(z-\rho )^m\sum _{m\leq n}a_n\, (z-\rho )^{n-m}=(z-\rho )^m\, h_\rho (z). \]

Trivially, \(h_\rho (z)\) is analytic at \(\rho \) (we have written down the series expansion); now note that

\[ h_\rho (\rho )=\sum _{m\leq n}a_n(\rho -\rho )^{n-m}=\sum _{m\leq n}a_n0^{n-m}=a_m\neq 0. \]
Definition 24 CFunction
#

Let \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\), and \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)\neq 0\). We define a function \(C_f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\to \mathbb {C}\) as follows. This function is constructed by dividing \(f(z)\) by a polynomial whose roots are the zeros of \(f\) inside \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\).

\[ C_f(z)=\begin{cases} \displaystyle \frac{f(z)}{\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}\qquad \text{for }z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r) \\ \displaystyle \frac{h_z(z)}{\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\setminus \{ z\} }(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}\qquad \text{for }z\in \mathcal{K}_f(r) \end{cases} \]

where \(h_z(z)\) comes from Lemma 105.

Definition 25 BlaschkeB
#

Let \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\), and \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)\neq 0\). We define a function \(B_f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_R}\to \mathbb {C}\) as follows.

\[ B_f(z)=C_f(z)\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left(R-\frac{z\overline{\rho }}{R}\right)^{m_f(\rho )} \]
Lemma 106 BlaschkeOfZero
#

Let \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\), and \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)\neq 0\). Then

\[ |B_f(0)|=|f(0)|\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left(\frac{R}{|\rho |}\right)^{m_f(\rho )}. \]
Proof

Since \(f(0)\neq 0\), we know that \(0\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Thus,

\[ C_f(0)=\frac{f(0)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}(-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

Thus, substituting this into Definition 25,

\[ |B_f(0)|=|C_f(0)|\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}R^{m_f(\rho )}=|f(0)|\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left(\frac{R}{|\rho |}\right)^{m_f(\rho )}. \]
Lemma 107 DiskBound
#

Let \(B{\gt}1\) and \(0 {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) is a function analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(|f(z)|\leq B\) for \(|z|\leq R\), then \(|B_f(z)|\leq B\) for \(|z|\leq R\) also.

Proof

For \(|z|=R\), we know that \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Thus,

\[ C_f(z)=\frac{f(z)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

Thus, substituting this into Definition 25,

\[ |B_f(z)|=|f(z)|\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|^{m_f(\rho )}. \]

But note that

\[ \left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|=\frac{|R^2-z\overline{\rho }|/R}{|z-\rho |}=\frac{|z|\cdot |\overline{z-\rho }|/R}{|z-\rho |}=1. \]

So we have that \(|B_f(z)|=|f(z)|\leq B\) when \(|z|=R\). Now by the maximum modulus principle, we know that the maximum of \(|B_f|\) must occur on the boundary where \(|z|=R\). Thus \(|B_f(z)|\leq B\) for all \(|z|\leq R\).

Theorem 28 ZerosBound
#

Let \(B{\gt}1\) and \(0{\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) is a function analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)=1\) and \(|f(z)|\leq B\) for \(|z|\leq R\), then

\[ \sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}m_f(\rho )\leq \frac{\log B}{\log (R/r)}. \]
Proof

Since \(f(0)=1\), we know that \(0\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Thus,

\[ C_f(0)=\frac{f(0)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}(-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

Thus, substituting this into Definition 25,

\[ (R/r)^{\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}m_f(\rho )}=\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left(\frac{R}{r}\right)^{m_f(\rho )}\leq \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left(\frac{R}{|\rho |}\right)^{m_f(\rho )}=|B_f(0)|\leq B \]

whereby Lemma 107 we know that \(|B_f(z)|\leq B\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). Taking the logarithm of both sides and rearranging gives the desired result.

Definition 26 JBlaschke
#

Let \(B{\gt}1\) and \(0 {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) is a function analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)=1\), define \(L_f(z)=J_{B_f}(z)\) where \(J\) is from Theorem 27 and \(B_f\) is from Definition 25.

Lemma 108 BlaschkeNonZero
#

Let \(0 {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\) and \(f:\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\to \mathbb {C}\) be analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\). Then \(B_f(z)\neq 0\) for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\).

Proof

Suppose that \(z\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Then we have that

\[ C_f(z)=\frac{h_z(z)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\setminus \{ z\} }(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

where \(h_z(z)\neq 0\) according to Lemma 105. Thus, substituting this into Definition 25,

\begin{equation} \label{pickupPoint2} |B_f(z)|=|h_z(z)|\cdot \left|R-\frac{|z|^2}{R}\right|^{m_f(z)}\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\setminus \{ z\} }\left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|^{m_f(\rho )}. \end{equation}
6

Trivially, \(|h_z(z)|\neq 0\). Now note that

\[ \left|R-\frac{|z|^2}{R}\right|=0\implies |z|=R. \]

However, this is a contradiction because \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\) tells us that \(|z|\leq r {\lt} R\). Similarly, note that

\[ \left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|=0\implies |z|=\frac{R^2}{|\overline{\rho }|}. \]

However, this is also a contradiction because \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\) tells us that \(R {\lt} R^2/|\overline{\rho }|=|z|\), but \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\) tells us that \(|z|\leq r {\lt} R\). So, we know that

\[ \left|R-\frac{|z|^2}{R}\right|\neq 0\qquad \text{and}\qquad \left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|\neq 0\quad \text{for all}\quad \rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\setminus \{ z\} . \]

Applying this to Equation (6) we have that \(|B_f(z)|\neq 0\). So, \(B_f(z)\neq 0\).

Now suppose that \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Then we have that

\[ C_f(z)=\frac{f(z)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

Thus, substituting this into Definition 25,

\begin{equation} \label{pickupPoint3} |B_f(z)|=|f(z)|\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)}\left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|^{m_f(\rho )}. \end{equation}
7

We know that \(|f(z)|\neq 0\) since \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\). Now note that

\[ \left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|=0\implies |z|=\frac{R^2}{|\overline{\rho }|}. \]

However, this is a contradiction because \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\) tells us that \(R {\lt} R^2/|\overline{\rho }|=|z|\), but \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_r}\) tells us that \(|z|\leq r {\lt} R\). So, we know that

\[ \left|\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right|\neq 0\quad \text{for all}\quad \rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(r). \]

Applying this to Equation (7) we have that \(|B_f(z)|\neq 0\). So, \(B_f(z)\neq 0\).

We have shown that \(B_f(z)\neq 0\) for both \(z\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\) and \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(r)\), so the result follows.

Theorem 29 JBlaschkeDerivBound
#

Let \(B{\gt}1\) and \(0 {\lt} r' {\lt} r {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) is a function analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)=1\) and \(|f(z)|\leq B\) for all \(|z|\leq R\), then for all \(|z|\leq r'\)

\[ |L_f'(z)|\leq \frac{16\log (B)\, r^2}{(r-r')^3} \]
Proof

By Lemma 107 we immediately know that \(|B_f(z)|\leq B\) for all \(|z|\leq R\). Now since \(L_f=J_{B_f}\) by Definition 26, by Theorem 27 we know that

\[ L_f(0)=0\qquad \text{and}\qquad \Re L_f(z)=\log |B_f(z)|-\log |B_f(0)|\leq \log |B_f(z)|\leq \log B \]

for all \(|z|\leq r\). So by Theorem 26, it follows that

\[ |L_f'(z)|\leq \frac{16\log (B)\, r^2}{(r-r')^3} \]

for all \(|z|\leq r'\).

Theorem 30 FinalBound
#

Let \(B{\gt}1\) and \(0 {\lt} r' {\lt} r {\lt} R' {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f:\mathbb {C}\to \mathbb {C}\) is a function analytic on neighborhoods of points in \(\overline{\mathbb {D}_1}\) with \(f(0)=1\) and \(|f(z)|\leq B\) for all \(|z|\leq R\), then for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_{R'}}\setminus \mathcal{K}_f(R')\) we have

\[ \left|\frac{f'}{f}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\leq \left(\frac{16r^2}{(r-r')^3}+\frac{1}{(R^2/R'-R')\, \log (R/R')}\right)\log B. \]
Proof

Since \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_{r'}}\setminus \mathcal{K}_f(R')\) we know that \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(R')\); thus, by Definition 24 we know that

\[ C_f(z)=\frac{f(z)}{\displaystyle \prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}(z-\rho )^{m_f(\rho )}}. \]

Substituting this into Definition 25 we have that

\[ B_f(z)=f(z)\prod _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\left(\frac{R-z\overline{\rho }/R}{z-\rho }\right)^{m_f(\rho )}. \]

Taking the complex logarithm of both sides we have that

\[ \mathrm{Log}\, B_f(z)=\mathrm{Log}\, f(z)+\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}m_f(\rho )\, \mathrm{Log}(R-z\overline{\rho }/R)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}m_f(\rho )\, \mathrm{Log}(z-\rho ). \]

Taking the derivative of both sides we have that

\[ \frac{B_f'}{B_f}(z)=\frac{f'}{f}(z)+\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-R^2/\rho }-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }. \]

By Definition 26 and Theorem 27 we recall that

\[ L_f(z)=J_{B_f}(z)=\mathrm{Log}\, B_f(z)-\mathrm{Log}\, B_f(0). \]

Taking the derivative of both sides we have that \(L_f'(z)=(B_f'/B_f)(z)\). Thus,

\[ \frac{f'}{f}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }=L_f'(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-R^2/\rho }. \]

Now since \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_{R'}}\) and \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')\), we know that \(R^2/R'-R'\leq |z-R^2/\rho |\). Thus by the triangle inequality we have

\[ \left|\frac{f'}{f}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\leq |L_f'(z)|+\left(\frac{1}{R^2/R'-R'}\right)\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}m_f(\rho ). \]

Now by Theorem 28 and 29 we get our desired result with a little algebraic manipulation.

Theorem 31 ZetaFixedLowerBound
#

For all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) one has

\[ |\zeta (3/2+it)|\geq \frac{\zeta (3)}{\zeta (3/2)}. \]
Proof

From the Euler product expansion of \(\zeta \), we have that for \(\Re s{\gt}1\)

\[ \zeta (s)=\prod _p\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}. \]

Thus, we have that

\[ \frac{\zeta (2s)}{\zeta (s)}=\prod _p\frac{1-p^{-s}}{1-p^{-2s}}=\prod _p\frac{1}{1+p^{-s}}. \]

Now note that \(|1-p^{-(3/2+it)}|\leq 1+|p^{-(3/2+it)}|=1+p^{-3/2}\). Thus,

\[ |\zeta (3/2+it)|=\prod _p\frac{1}{|1-p^{-(3/2+it)}|}\geq \prod _p\frac{1}{1+p^{-3/2}}=\frac{\zeta (3)}{\zeta (3/2)} \]

for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) as desired.

Lemma 109 ZetaAltFormula
#

Let

\[ \zeta _0(s)=1+\frac{1}{s-1}-s\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}. \]

We have that \(\zeta (s)=\zeta _0(s)\) for \(\sigma {\gt}1\).

Proof

Note that for \(\sigma {\gt}1\) we have

\[ \zeta (s)=\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}=\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{n^s}-\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{n-1}{n^s}=\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{n^s}-\sum _{n=0}^\infty \frac{n}{(n+1)^s}=\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{n^s}-\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{(n+1)^s}. \]

Thus

\[ \zeta (s)=\sum _{n=1}^\infty n\, (n^{-s}-(n+1)^{-s}). \]

Now we note that

\[ s\int _n^{n+1}x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}=s\left(-\frac{1}{s}\, x^{-s}\right)_n^{n+1}=n^{-s}-(n+1)^{-s}. \]

So, substituting this we have

\[ \zeta (s)=\sum _{n=1}^\infty n\, (n^{-s}-(n+1)^{-s})=s\sum _{n=1}^\infty n\int _n^{n+1}x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}=s\int _1^\infty \lfloor x\rfloor \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}. \]

But noting that \(\lfloor x\rfloor =x-\{ x\} \) we have that

\[ \zeta (s)=s\int _1^\infty \lfloor x\rfloor \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}=s\int _1^\infty x^{-s}\, dx-s\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}. \]

Evaluating the first integral completes the result.

Lemma 110 ZetaAltFormulaAnalytic
#

We have that \(\zeta _0(s)\) is analytic for all \(s\in S\) where \(S=\{ s\in \mathbb {C}:\Re s{\gt}0,\, s\neq 1\} \).

Proof

Note that we have

\[ \left|\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x}\right|\leq \int _1^\infty |\{ x\} \, x^{-s-1}|\, dx\leq \int _1^\infty x^{-\sigma -1}\, dx=\frac{1}{\sigma }. \]

So this integral converges uniformly on compact subsets of \(S\), which tells us that it is analytic on \(S\). So it immediately follows that \(\zeta _0(s)\) is analytic on \(S\) as well, since \(S\) avoids the pole at \(s=1\) coming from the \((s-1)^{-1}\) term.

Lemma 111 ZetaExtend
#

We have that

\[ \zeta (s)=1+\frac{1}{s-1}-s\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-s}\, \frac{dx}{x} \]

for all \(s\in S\).

Proof

This is an immediate consequence of the identity theorem.

Theorem 32 GlobalBound
#

For all \(s\in \mathbb {C}\) with \(|s|\leq 1\) and \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\), we have that

\[ |\zeta (s+3/2+it)|\leq 7+2\, |t|. \]
Proof

For the sake of clearer proof writing let \(z=s+3/2+it\). Since \(|s|\leq 1\) we know that \(1/2\leq \Re z\); additionally, as \(|t|\geq 3\), we know \(z\in S\). Thus, from Lemma 111 we know that

\[ |\zeta (z)|\leq 1+\frac{1}{|z-1|}+|z|\cdot \left|\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-z}\, \frac{dx}{x}\right| \]

by applying the triangle inequality. Now note that \(|z-1|\geq 1\). Likewise,

\[ |z|\cdot \left|\int _1^\infty \{ x\} \, x^{-z}\, \frac{dx}{x}\right|\leq |z|\int _1^\infty |\{ x\} \, x^{-z-1}|\, dx\leq |z|\int _1^\infty x^{-\Re z-1}\, dx=\frac{|z|}{\Re z}\leq 2\, |z|. \]

Thus we have that,

\[ |\zeta (s+3/2+it)|=|\zeta (z)|\leq 1+1+2\, |z|=2+2\, |s+3/2+it|\leq 2+2\, |s|+3+2\, |it|\leq 7+2\, |t|. \]
Theorem 33 LogDerivZetaFinalBound
#

Let \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\) and \(0 {\lt} r' {\lt} r {\lt} R' {\lt} R{\lt}1\). If \(f(z)=\zeta (z+3/2+it)\), then for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_R'}\setminus \mathcal{K}_f(R')\) we have that

\[ \left|\frac{f'}{f}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \left(\frac{16r^2}{(r-r')^3}+\frac{1}{(R^2/R'-R')\, \log (R/R')}\right)\log |t|. \]
Proof

Let \(g(z)=\zeta (z+3/2+it)/\zeta (3/2+it)\). Note that \(g(0)=1\) and for \(|z|\leq R\)

\[ |g(z)|=\frac{|\zeta (z+3/2+it)|}{|\zeta (3/2+it)|}\leq \frac{\zeta (3/2)}{\zeta (3)}\cdot (7+2\, |t|)\leq \frac{13\, \zeta (3/2)}{3\, \zeta (3)}\, |t| \]

by Theorems 31 and 32. Thus by Theorem 30 we have that

\[ \left|\frac{g'}{g}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_g(R')}\frac{m_g(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\leq \left(\frac{16r^2}{(r-r')^3}+\frac{1}{(R^2/R'-R')\, \log (R/R')}\right)\left(\log |t|+\log \left(\frac{13\, \zeta (3/2)}{3\, \zeta (3)}\right)\right). \]

Now note that \(f'/f=g'/g\), \(\mathcal{K}_f(R')=\mathcal{K}_g(R')\), and \(m_g(\rho )=m_f(\rho )\) for all \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')\). Thus we have that,

\[ \left|\frac{f'}{f}(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(R')}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \left(\frac{16r^2}{(r-r')^3}+\frac{1}{(R^2/R'-R')\, \log (R/R')}\right)\log |t| \]

where the implied constant \(C\) is taken to be

\[ C\geq 1+\frac{\log ((13\, \zeta (3/2))/(3\, \zeta (3)))}{\log 3}. \]

Lemma 112 SumBoundI
#

For all \(\delta \in (0,1)\) and \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\) we have

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{1+\delta +it-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]
Proof

We apply Theorem 33 where \(r'=2/3\), \(r=3/4\), \(R'=5/6\), and \(R=8/9\). Thus, for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_{5/6}}\setminus \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\) we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z+3/2+it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t| \]

where \(f(z)=\zeta (z+3/2+it)\) for \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\). Now if we let \(z=-1/2+\delta \), then \(z\in (-1/2,1/2)\subseteq \overline{\mathbb {D}_{5/6}}\). Additionally, \(f(z)=\zeta (1+\delta +it)\), where \(1+\delta +it\) lies in the zero-free region where \(\sigma {\gt}1\). Thus, \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\). So,

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{-1/2+\delta -\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]

But now note that if \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\), then \(\zeta (\rho +3/2+it)=0\) and \(|\rho |\leq 5/6\). Thus, \(\rho +3/2+it\in \mathcal{Z}_t\). Additionally, note that \(m_f(\rho )=m_\zeta (\rho +3/2+it)\). So changing variables using these facts gives us that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{1+\delta +it-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]
Lemma 113 ShiftTwoBound
#

For all \(\delta \in (0,1)\) and \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\) we have

\[ -\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)\right)\ll \log |t|. \]
Proof

Note that, for \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_{2t}\)

\begin{align*} \Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +2it-\rho }\right)& =\Re \left(\frac{1+\delta -2it-\overline{\rho }}{(1+\delta +2it-\rho )(1+\delta -2it-\overline{\rho })}\right) \\ & =\frac{\Re (1+\delta -2it-\overline{\rho })}{|1+\delta +2it-\rho |^2}=\frac{1+\delta -\Re \rho }{(1+\delta -\Re \rho )^2+(2t-\mathfrak {I}\rho )^2}. \end{align*}

Now since \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_{2t}\), we have that \(|\rho -(3/2+2it)|\leq 5/6\). So, we have \(\Re \rho \in (2/3,7/3)\) and \(\mathfrak {I}\rho \in (2t-5/6,2t+5/6)\). Thus, we have that

\[ 1/3{\lt}1+\delta -\Re \rho \qquad \text{and}\qquad (1+\delta -\Re \rho )^2+(2t-\mathfrak {I}\rho )^2{\lt}16/9+25/36=89/36. \]

Which implies that

\begin{equation} \label{pickupPoint4} 0\leq \frac{12}{89}{\lt}\frac{1+\delta -\Re \rho }{(1+\delta -\Re \rho )^2+(2t-\mathfrak {I}\rho )^2}=\Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +2it-\rho }\right). \end{equation}
8

Note that, from Lemma 112, we have

\[ \sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_{2t}}m_\zeta (\rho )\, \Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +2it-\rho }\right)-\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)\right)\leq \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_{2t}}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{1+\delta +2it-\rho }\right|\ll \log |2t|. \]

Since \(m_\zeta (\rho )\geq 0\) for all \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_{2t}\), the inequality from Equation (8) tells us that by subtracting the sum from both sides we have

\[ -\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)\right)\ll \log |2t|. \]

Noting that \(\log |2t|=\log (2)+\log |t|\leq 2\log |t|\) completes the proof.

Lemma 114 ShiftOneBound
#

There exists \(C{\gt}0\) such that for all \(\delta \in (0,1)\) and \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\); if \(\zeta (\rho )=0\) with \(\rho =\sigma +it\), then

\[ -\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)\right)\leq -\frac{1}{1+\delta -\sigma }+C\log |t|. \]
Proof

Note that for \(\rho '\in \mathcal{Z}_t\)

\begin{align*} \Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +it-\rho '}\right)& =\Re \left(\frac{1+\delta -it-\overline{\rho '}}{(1+\delta +it-\rho ')(1+\delta -it-\overline{\rho '})}\right) \\ & =\frac{\Re (1+\delta -it-\overline{\rho '})}{|1+\delta +it-\rho '|^2}=\frac{1+\delta -\Re \rho '}{(1+\delta -\Re \rho ')^2+(t-\mathfrak {I}\rho ')^2}. \end{align*}

Now since \(\rho '\in \mathcal{Z}_t\), we have that \(|\rho -(3/2+it)|\leq 5/6\). So, we have \(\Re \rho '\in (2/3,7/3)\) and \(\mathfrak {I}\rho '\in (t-5/6,t+5/6)\). Thus we have that

\[ 1/3{\lt}1+\delta -\Re \rho '\qquad \text{and}\qquad (1+\delta -\Re \rho ')^2+(t-\mathfrak {I}\rho ')^2{\lt}16/9+25/36=89/36. \]

Which implies that

\begin{equation} \label{pickupPoint5} 0\leq \frac{12}{89}{\lt}\frac{1+\delta -\Re \rho '}{(1+\delta -\Re \rho ')^2+(t-\mathfrak {I}\rho ')^2}=\Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +it-\rho '}\right). \end{equation}
9

Note that, from Lemma 112, we have

\[ \sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}m_\zeta (\rho )\, \Re \left(\frac{1}{1+\delta +it-\rho }\right)-\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)\right)\leq \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{1+\delta +it-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]

Since \(m_\zeta (\rho )\geq 0\) for all \(\rho '\in \mathcal{Z}_t\), the inequality from Equation (9) tells us that by subtracting the sum over all \(\rho '\in \mathcal{Z}_t\setminus \{ \rho \} \) from both sides we have

\[ \frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{\Re (1+\delta +it-\rho )}-\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)\right)\ll \log |t|. \]

But of course we have that \(\Re (1+\delta +it-\rho )=1+\delta -\sigma \). So subtracting this term from both sides and recalling the implied constant we have

\[ -\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)\right)\leq -\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{1+\delta -\sigma }+C\log |t|. \]

We have that \(\sigma \leq 1\) since \(\zeta \) is zero free on the right half plane \(\sigma {\gt}1\). Thus \(0{\lt}1+\delta -\sigma \). Noting this in combination with the fact that \(1\leq m_\zeta (\rho )\) completes the proof.

For all \(\delta \in (0,1)\) we have

From Theorem 16 we know that

\[ -\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(s)=\frac{1}{s-1}+O(1). \]

Changing variables \(s\mapsto 1+\delta \) and applying the triangle inequality we have that

\[ -\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta )\right)\leq \left|-\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta )\right|\leq \frac{1}{\delta }+O(1). \]

We know that \(\cos (2\theta )=2\cos ^2\theta -1\), thus

\[ 3+4\cos \theta +\cos 2\theta =2+4\cos \theta +2\cos ^2\theta =2\, (1+\cos \theta )^2. \]

Noting that \(0\leq 1+\cos \theta \) completes the proof.

Theorem 34 ZeroInequality
#

There exists a constant \(0 {\lt} E{\lt}1\) such that for all \(\rho =\sigma +it\) with \(\zeta (\rho )=0\) and \(|t|\geq 3\), one has

\[ \sigma \leq 1-\frac{E}{\log |t|}. \]
Proof

From Theorem 18 when \(\Re s{\gt}1\) we have

\[ -\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(s)=\sum _{1\leq n}\frac{\Lambda (n)}{n^s}. \]

Thus,

\[ -3\, \frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta )-4\, \frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)-\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)=\sum _{1\leq n}\Lambda (n)\, n^{-(1+\delta )}\left(3+4n^{-it}+n^{-2it}\right). \]

Now applying Euler’s identity

\begin{align*} -3\, \Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta )\right)& -4\, \Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +it)\right)-\Re \left(\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(1+\delta +2it)\right) \\ & \qquad \qquad \qquad =\sum _{1\leq n}\Lambda (n)\, n^{-(1+\delta )}\left(3+4\cos (-it\log n)+\cos (-2it\log n)\right) \end{align*}

By Lemma 116 we know that the series on the right hand side is bounded below by \(0\), and by Lemmas 113, 114, and 115 we have an upper bound on the left hand side. So,

\[ 0\leq \frac{3}{\delta }+3A-\frac{4}{1+\delta -\sigma }+4B\log |t|+C\log |t| \]

where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are the implied constants coming from Lemmas 115, 114, and 113 respectively. By choosing \(D\geq 3A/\log 3+4B+C\) we have

\[ \frac{4}{1+\delta -\sigma }\leq \frac{3}{\delta }+D\log |t| \]

by some manipulation. Now if we choose \(\delta =(2D\log |t|)^{-1}\) then we have

\[ \frac{4}{1-\sigma +1/(2D\log |t|)}\leq 7D\log |t|. \]

So with some manipulation we have that

\[ \sigma \leq 1-\frac{1}{14D\log |t|}. \]

This is exactly the desired result with the constant \(E=(14D)^{-1}\)

Let \(\delta _t=E/\log |t|\) where \(E\) is the constant coming from Theorem ??.

Lemma 117 DeltaRange
#

For all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\) we have that

\[ \delta _t{\lt}1/28. \]
Proof

Note that \(\delta _t=E/\log |t|\) where \(E\) is the implied constant from Lemma 34. But we know that \(E=(14D)^{-1}\) where \(D\geq 3A/\log 3+4B+C\) where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are the constants coming from Lemmas 115, 114, and 113 respectively. Thus,

\[ E\leq \frac{1}{14\, (3A/\log 3+4B+C)}. \]

But note that \(A\geq 0\) and \(B\geq 0\) by Lemmas 115 and 114 respectively. However, we have that

\[ C\geq 2+\frac{2\log ((13\, \zeta (3/2))/(3\, \zeta (3)))}{\log 3} \]

by Theorem 33 with Lemmas 112 and 113. So, by a very lazy estimate we have \(C\geq 2\) and \(E\leq 1/28\). Thus,

\[ \delta _t=\frac{E}{\log |t|}\leq \frac{1}{28\, \log 3}{\lt}\frac{1}{28}. \]
Lemma 118 SumBoundII
#

For all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\) and \(z=\sigma +it\) where \(1-\delta _t/3\leq \sigma \leq 3/2\), we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]
Proof

By Lemma 117 we have that

\[ -43/84{\lt}-1/2-\delta _t/3\leq \sigma -3/2\leq 0. \]

We apply Theorem 33 where \(r'=2/3\), \(r=3/4\), \(R'=5/6\), and \(R=8/9\). Thus for all \(z\in \overline{\mathbb {D}_{5/6}}\setminus \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\) we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z+3/2+it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t| \]

where \(f(z)=\zeta (z+3/2+it)\) for \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 3\). Now if we let \(z=\sigma -3/2\), then \(z\in (-43/84,0)\subseteq \overline{\mathbb {D}_{5/6}}\). Additionally, \(f(z)=\zeta (\sigma +it)\), where \(\sigma +it\) lies in the zero free region given by Lemma 34 since \(\sigma \geq 1-\delta _t/3\geq 1-\delta _t\). Thus, \(z\not\in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\). So,

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(\sigma +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}\frac{m_f(\rho )}{\sigma -3/2-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]

But now note that if \(\rho \in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)\), then \(\zeta (\rho +3/2+it)=0\) and \(|\rho |\leq 5/6\). Additionally, note that \(m_f(\rho )=m_\zeta (\rho +3/2+it)\). So changing variables using these facts gives us that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(\sigma +it)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{\sigma +it-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]
Lemma 119 GapSize
#

Let \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 4\) and \(z=\sigma +it\) where \(1-\delta _t/3\leq \sigma \leq 3/2\). Additionally, let \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t\). Then we have that

\[ |z-\rho |\geq \delta _t/6. \]
Proof

Let \(\rho =\sigma '+it'\) and note that since \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t\), we have \(t'\in (t-5/6,t+5/6)\). Thus, if \(t{\gt}1\) we have

\[ \log |t'|\leq \log |t+5/6|\leq \log |2t|=\log 2+\log |t|\leq 2\log |t|. \]

And otherwise if \(t{\lt}-1\) we have

\[ \log |t'|\leq \log |t-5/6|\leq \log |2t|=\log 2+\log |t|\leq 2\log |t|. \]

So by taking reciprocals and multiplying through by a constant we have that \(\delta _t\leq 2\delta _{t'}\). Now note that since \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t\) we know that \(\sigma '\leq 1-\delta _{t'}\) by Theorem 34 (here we use the fact that \(|t|\geq 4\) to give us that \(|t'|\geq 3\)). Thus,

\[ \delta _t/6\leq \delta _{t'}-\delta _t/3=1-\delta _t/3-(1-\delta _{t'})\leq \sigma -\sigma '\leq |z-\rho |. \]
Lemma 120 LogDerivZetaUniformLogSquaredBoundStrip
#

There exists a constant \(F\in (0,1/2)\) such that for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) with \(|t|\geq 4\) one has

\[ 1-\frac{F}{\log |t|}\leq \sigma \leq 3/2\implies \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(\sigma +it)\right|\ll \log ^2|t| \]

where the implied constant is uniform in \(\sigma \).

Proof

Take \(F=E/3\) where \(E\) comes from Theorem 34. Then we have that \(\sigma \geq 1-\delta _t/3\). So, we apply Lemma 118, which gives us that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)-\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{z-\rho }\right|\ll \log |t|. \]

Using the reverse triangle inequality and rearranging, we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)\right|\leq \sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}\frac{m_\zeta (\rho )}{|z-\rho |}+C\, \log |t| \]

where \(C\) is the implied constant in Lemma 118. Now applying Lemma 119 we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)\right|\leq \frac{6}{\delta _t}\sum _{\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t}m_\zeta (\rho )+C\, \log |t|. \]

Now let \(f(z)=\zeta (z+3/2+it)/\zeta (3/2+it)\) with \(\rho =\rho '+3/2+it\). Then if \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t\) we have that

\[ 0=\zeta (\rho )=\zeta (\rho '+3/2+it)=f(\rho ') \]

with the same multiplicity of zero, that is \(m_\zeta (\rho )=m_f(\rho ')\). And also if \(\rho \in \mathcal{Z}_t\) then

\[ 5/6\geq |\rho -(3/2+it)|=|\rho '|. \]

Thus we change variables to have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)\right|\leq \frac{6}{\delta _t}\sum _{\rho '\in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}m_f(\rho ')+C\, \log |t|. \]

Now note that \(f(0)=1\) and for \(|z|\leq 8/9\) we have

\[ |f(z)|=\frac{|\zeta (z+3/2+it)|}{|\zeta (3/2+it)|}\leq \frac{\zeta (3/2)}{\zeta (3)}\cdot (7+2\, |t|)\leq \frac{15\, \zeta (3/2)}{4\, \zeta (3)}\, |t| \]

by Theorems 31 and 32. Thus by Theorem 28 we have that

\[ \sum _{\rho '\in \mathcal{K}_f(5/6)}m_f(\rho ')\leq \frac{\log |t|+\log (15\, \zeta (3/2)/(4\, \zeta (3)))}{\log ((8/9)/(5/6))}\leq D\log |t| \]

where \(D\) is taken to be sufficiently large. Recall, by definition that, \(\delta _t=E/\log |t|\) with \(E\) coming from Theorem 34. By using this fact and the above, we have that

\[ \left|\frac{\zeta '}{\zeta }(z)\right|\ll \log ^2|t|+\log |t| \]

where the implied constant is taken to be bigger than \(\max (6D/E,C)\). We know that the RHS is bounded above by \(\ll \log ^2|t|\); so the result follows.
