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
Uniformly for and whose ordinate is not that of a nontrivial zero, where zeros occur with multiplicity. For the pole term is absorbed into the error, giving the usual large-height local formula.
Facts & Assumptions
For , the number of nontrivial zeros with ordinates in is , counted with multiplicity (A unit-interval bound for zeta zeros).
Nontrivial zeros occur in conjugate pairs (The only zeros of zeta on the nonpositive real axis are the negative even integers, and every other zero lies in the open critical strip).
Proof
Given: , , and away from the zero ordinates.
Put . Logarithmic differentiation of the Hadamard product and subtraction at give The constants and genus-one correction terms cancel; the difference series converges absolutely, since its terms are for large .
For , each difference has absolute value at most . By [L1] and [L2], grouping into the bands bounds their total by Here , and both resulting weighted series converge. For the remaining zeros, , so the sum of their subtracted terms is also by [L1] and [L2]. Thus
By The Riemann xi function and the Gamma recurrence, The Gamma factor has argument with real part at least . 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 there for large ; 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 . Hence . Substituting the displayed xi identity into step 2.1 leaves the pole term and a Gamma logarithmic derivative of size , proving the stated uniform formula even at bounded ordinates.
