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 eta series is holomorphic on Res>0 and equals the prefactor times zeta there

Statement

The series

η(s):=n=1(1)n1ns

converges locally uniformly on the half-plane Res>0 and so defines a holomorphic function there. On the same half-plane one has

η(s)=(121s)ζ(s).

The identity is a representation theorem: it remains valid at the zeros of 121s because both sides are already holomorphic there.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A compact set K{sC:Res>0}.

[L1]

The zeta series ns defines ζ(s) on Res>1 (The Riemann zeta function on the half-plane Res>1).

[L2]

The fractional-part formula extends ζ meromorphically to Res>0 with only a simple pole at 1 (For Res>0, zeta admits the fractional-part integral formula with a simple residue-one pole at 1).

[L3]

The complex Weierstrass M-test gives locally uniform convergence from a summable majorant (Weierstrass M-test for complex-valued function series).

[L4]

The real logarithm is defined on (0,) and the complex exponential defines xs=exp(slogx) for x>0 (The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The complex exponential by its power series).

[L5]

For rational p>1, the series n1np converges (For rational p>0, 1/kp converges iff p>1).

[A1]

For fixed s, the derivative of xxs=exp(slogx) on (0,) is sxs1.

[A2]

Two holomorphic functions on a connected domain that agree on a nonempty open subset agree everywhere on that domain.

1.1

Choose σ>0 and M0 so that Resσ and sM on K. Pair the alternating series as η(s)=n=1((2n1)s(2n)s). Using [A1] and [L4], (2n1)s(2n)s=s2n12nxs1dxM(2n1)σ1. Taking σ rational, [L5] makes n(2n1)σ1 convergent. Therefore [L3] gives local uniform convergence of the paired series on K, so η is holomorphic on Res>0.

1.2

On Res>1, the zeta series of [L1] converges absolutely, so regrouping odd and even terms gives η(s)=n1ns2n1(2n)s=(121s)ζ(s).

2.1

By step 1.1, η is holomorphic on Res>0. By [L2], the function (121s)ζ(s) is also holomorphic there: the factor 121s vanishes at s=1 and removes the only pole of ζ. Step 1.2 shows that the two holomorphic functions agree on the nonempty open set Res>1, so [A2] gives the identity η(s)=(121s)ζ(s) throughout Res>0.
