Dirichlet series


Let (λn)n1 be an increasing sequence ofpositive real numbers tending to .A Dirichlet seriesMathworldPlanetmath with exponentsPlanetmathPlanetmath (λn) isa series of the form

nane-λnz

where z and all the an are complex numbersMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath.

An ordinary Dirichlet series is one having λn=lognfor all n.It is written

annz.

The best-known examples are the Riemann zeta functionMathworldPlanetmath (in which anis the constant (http://planetmath.org/ConstantFunction) 1) and the more general Dirichlet L-series(in which the mapping nan is multiplicative and periodic).

When λn=n, the Dirichlet series is just a power seriesMathworldPlanetmathin the variable e-z.

The following are the basic convergence properties of Dirichlet series.There is nothing profound about their proofs, which can be foundin [1] and in various other works on complex analysis and analyticnumber theoryMathworldPlanetmath.

Let f(z)=nane-λnz be a Dirichlet series.

  1. 1.

    If f converges at z=z0, then f converges uniformly in the region

    (z-z0)0  -αarg(z-z0)α

    where α is any real number such that 0<α<π/2.(Such a region is known as a “Stoltz angle”.)

  2. 2.

    Therefore, if f converges at z0, its sum defines a holomorphicfunctionMathworldPlanetmath on the region (z)>(z0), and moreover f(z)f(z0)as zz0 within any Stoltz angle.

  3. 3.

    f=0 identically if and only if all the coefficients an are zero.

So, if f converges somewhere but not everywhere in , thenthe domain of its convergence is the region (z)>ρ forsome real number ρ, which is called the abscissa of convergenceof the Dirichlet series.The abscissa of convergence of the seriesf(z)=n|an|e-λnz, if it exists,is called the abscissa of absolute convergence of f.

Now suppose that the coefficients an are all real and nonnegative.If the series f converges for (z)>ρ, and the resulting functionadmits an analytic extension (http://planetmath.org/AnalyticContinuation) to a neighbourhood of ρ,then the series f converges in a neighbourhood of ρ.Consequently, the domain of convergence of f (unless it is the wholeof ) is boundedPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath by a singularity at a point on the real axisMathworldPlanetmath.

Finally, return to the general case of any complex numbers (an), butsuppose λn=logn, so f is an ordinary Dirichlet seriesannz.

  1. 1.

    If the sequenceMathworldPlanetmath (an) is bounded, then f converges absolutely in theregion (z)>1.

  2. 2.

    If the partial sums n=klan are bounded, then f converges(not necessarily absolutely) in the region (z)>0.
