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 1σ2 and s=σ+it1 whose ordinate is not that of a nontrivial zero, ζζ(s)=1s1+ρ:tρ<11sρ+O(log(t+2)), where zeros occur with multiplicity. For t2 the pole term is absorbed into the error, giving the usual large-height local formula.

Facts & Assumptions

[L1]

For T0, 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: 1σ2, s1, and t away from the zero ordinates.

1.1

Put s0=2+it. Logarithmic differentiation of the Hadamard product and subtraction at s0 give ξξ(s)ξξ(s0)=ρ(1sρ1s0ρ). The constants and genus-one correction terms cancel; the difference series converges absolutely, since its terms are Os(ρ2) for large ρ.

2.1

For tρ1, each difference has absolute value at most 3/tρ2. By [L1] and [L2], grouping into the bands ktρ<k+1 bounds their total by Ck1log(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, s0ρ1, so the sum of their subtracted terms is also O(log(t+2)) by [L1] and [L2]. Thus ξξ(s)=tρ<11sρ+ξξ(s0)+O(log(t+2)).

3.1

By The Riemann xi function ξ(s)=12s(s1)Λ(s) and the Gamma recurrence, ξ(s)=(s1)πs/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)=Logz+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)n2(logn)n2<. Hence ξ/ξ(s0)=O(log(t+2)). Substituting the displayed xi identity into step 2.1 leaves the pole term 1/(s1) and a Gamma logarithmic derivative of size O(log(t+2)), proving the stated uniform formula even at bounded ordinates.
