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.

A local formula for the logarithmic derivative of zeta

Statement

Assume countable choice.

Uniformly for −1≤σ≤2 and s=σ+it≠1 whose ordinate is not that of a nontrivial zero, ζ′ζ(s)=−1s−1+∑ρ: ∣t−ℑρ∣<11s−ρ+O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)), where zeros occur with multiplicity. For ∣t∣≥2 the pole term is absorbed into the error, giving the usual large-height local formula.

Facts & Assumptions

[L1]

For T≥0, the number of nontrivial zeros with ordinates in [T,T+1] is O(log⁡(T+2)), counted with multiplicity (A unit-interval bound for zeta zeros).

Proof

Given: Countable choice, −1≤σ≤2, s≠1, and t away from the zero ordinates.

Put s0=2+it. Logarithmic differentiation of the Hadamard product and subtraction at s0 give ξ′ξ(s)−ξ′ξ(s0)=∑ρ(1s−ρ−1s0−ρ). The constants and genus-one correction terms cancel; the difference series converges absolutely, since its terms are Os(∣ρ∣−2) for large ∣ρ∣.

For ∣t−ℑρ∣≥1, each difference has absolute value at most 3/∣t−ℑρ∣2. By [L1] and [L2], grouping into the bands k≤∣t−ℑρ∣<k+1 bounds their total by C∑k≥1log⁡(∣t∣+k+3)k2=O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)). Here log⁡(∣t∣+k+3)≤log⁡(∣t∣+2)+log⁡(k+3), and both resulting weighted series converge. For the remaining zeros, ∣s0−ρ∣≥1, so the sum of their subtracted terms is also O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)) by [L1] and [L2]. Thus ξ′ξ(s)=∑∣t−ℑρ∣<11s−ρ+ξ′ξ(s0)+O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)).

By The Riemann xi function ξ(s)=12s(s−1)Λ(s) and the Gamma recurrence, ξ(s)=(s−1)π−s/2Γ(1+s/2)ζ(s). The Gamma factor has argument with real part at least 1/2. Stirling's formula for Gamma, differentiated using Cauchy's estimate on disks of radius proportional to the argument's modulus in a slightly larger sector, gives Γ′(z)/Γ(z)=Log⁡z+O(1/∣z∣) there for large ∣z∣; compact subsets of this half-plane supply the remaining bound. Also The logarithmic derivative of the zeta Dirichlet series is the Dirichlet series of the von Mangoldt function on Re s greater than 1 gives ∣ζ′/ζ(2+it)∣≤∑n≥2(log⁡n)n−2<∞. Hence ξ′/ξ(s0)=O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)). Substituting the displayed xi identity into step 2.1 leaves the pole term −1/(s−1) and a Gamma logarithmic derivative of size O(log⁡(∣t∣+2)), proving the stated uniform formula even at bounded ordinates.
