How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Dirichlet character chebyshev laplace transform
Statement
Fix a Dirichlet character modulo . Put and for the principal character, zero otherwise. The bounded, locally integrable function has Laplace transform After the removable value at zero is filled in, this extends holomorphically to an open neighborhood of the closed right half-plane.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The data and hypotheses of the statement.
Euler product for Dirichlet L-functions: For every Dirichlet character and every with , and this product is nonzero on .
Dirichlet series from arithmetic functions admit the Abel-summation integral formula: Let , let be complex coefficients, and put . If , then for every with , For every integer one has the endpoint formula
Chebyshev's theta function has linear lower and upper bounds: There exist positive constants and a real number such that for every real .
Psi and theta differ by at most a square-root term: There are positive constants such that for every real , and, for all sufficiently large ,
Nonprincipal Dirichlet L-functions are nonzero at one: If is a Dirichlet character, then .
Nonprincipal Dirichlet L-functions do not vanish on Re s = 1 away from s = 1: If is a Dirichlet character, then for every real .
Nonprincipal Dirichlet L-functions are holomorphic on Re s greater than 0: If is a Dirichlet character, then the Dirichlet series converges for every and defines a holomorphic function there.
The principal Dirichlet L-function factors through zeta: Let be the principal Dirichlet character modulo . Then on , Consequently, the meromorphic continuation of has a simple pole at with residue
The Riemann zeta function has no zeros on the closed half-plane , except for its pole at : The meromorphic continuation of has no zeros on the closed half-plane . Its only singularity there is the simple pole at .
Proof
The linear theta bound and prime-power comparison give , uniformly after enlarging the constant for bounded x. Since , ; thus is bounded and locally integrable, with only finitely many jumps on each compact t-interval.
For nonprincipal chi, holomorphy on and nonvanishing at w=1 and at every , , show that the logarithmic derivative is holomorphic near every point of that line; the Euler product covers its right side. For the principal character, continues meromorphically, with a simple pole at one and no zero on . The finite factors cannot vanish there because .
The Euler logarithm is normally absolutely convergent on ; its differentiated series is dominated on each smaller half-plane by . Differentiation gives . Apply the summatory integral at and substitute , obtaining the displayed formula with the factor s+1 intact.
At s=0 in the principal case write with h holomorphic. Then is holomorphic. Elsewhere shrink the pointwise neighborhoods to avoid s=-1. The union of these neighborhoods and the original half-plane is the required open set. For q=1 the finite product is empty and equals one.
