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 and equals the prefactor times zeta there
Statement
The series
converges locally uniformly on the half-plane and so defines a holomorphic function there. On the same half-plane one has
The identity is a representation theorem: it remains valid at the zeros of because both sides are already holomorphic there.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A compact set .
The zeta series defines on (The Riemann zeta function on the half-plane ).
The fractional-part formula extends meromorphically to with only a simple pole at (For , zeta admits the fractional-part integral formula with a simple residue-one pole at ).
The complex Weierstrass M-test gives locally uniform convergence from a summable majorant (Weierstrass M-test for complex-valued function series).
The real logarithm is defined on and the complex exponential defines for (The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The complex exponential by its power series).
For rational , the series converges (For rational , converges iff ).
For fixed , the derivative of on is .
Two holomorphic functions on a connected domain that agree on a nonempty open subset agree everywhere on that domain.
Proof
Choose and so that and on . Pair the alternating series as Using [A1] and [L4], Taking rational, [L5] makes convergent. Therefore [L3] gives local uniform convergence of the paired series on , so is holomorphic on .
On , the zeta series of [L1] converges absolutely, so regrouping odd and even terms gives
By step 1.1, is holomorphic on . By [L2], the function is also holomorphic there: the factor vanishes at and removes the only pole of . Step 1.2 shows that the two holomorphic functions agree on the nonempty open set , so [A2] gives the identity throughout .
