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.

The Dirichlet series for zeta converges absolutely and locally uniformly on the half-plane $Re s > 1$

Statement

For every complex number $s$ with $Re s > 1$ , the series

$\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} n^{- s}, n^{- s} : = \exp (- s \log n),$

converges absolutely. Moreover, if $K \subseteq {s \in C : Re s > 1}$ is compact, then the same series converges uniformly on $K$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A compact set $K \subseteq {s \in C : Re s > 1}$ .

[L1]

The complex exponential is $\exp z = \sum_{m \geq 0} z^{m} / m!$ (The complex exponential by its power series).

[L2]

The real logarithm is defined on $(0, \infty)$ , so $\log n$ is defined for every integer $n \geq 1$ (The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function).

[L3]

If $∣ f_{n} (s) ∣ \leq M_{n}$ on a set and $\sum M_{n}$ converges, then $\sum f_{n}$ converges uniformly there (Weierstrass M-test for complex-valued function series).

[L4]

For rational $p > 1$ , the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{- p}$ converges (For rational $p > 0$ , $\sum 1 / k^{p}$ converges iff $p > 1$ ).

1.1givenL1L2choosealgebra

Because $K$ is compact and lies in the open half-plane $Re s > 1$ , there is a real number $σ > 1$ with $Re s \geq σ$ for every $s \in K$ . For $n \geq 1$ and $s \in K$ , [L1] and [L2] give $n^{- s} = \exp (- s \log n)$ , so $∣ n^{- s} ∣ = \exp (- Re s \log n) \leq \exp (- σ \log n) = n^{- σ} .$

2.1step 1.1L3L4algebra∎

Taking $σ > 1$ rational if necessary, [L4] makes $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{- σ}$ convergent. Step 1.1 and [L3] therefore give uniform convergence of $\sum n^{- s}$ on $K$ . Since $∣ n^{- s} ∣$ is bounded by the same summable majorant, the series also converges absolutely at each point of $K$ , hence at each $s$ with $Re s > 1$ .
