The Riemann zeta function is defined as: $$ \zeta(s) := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s} $$ for all $s$ in the $\textrm{Re}(s)>1$ half-plane.
In order to distinguish between $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}$ and the Euler product expression of $\zeta$, I usually refer to $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}$ as the Dirichlet series expression of $\zeta$.
The same applies for Dirichlet $L$-series: $$ L(\chi,s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}. $$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}$ is the Dirichlet series expression of the Dirichlet $L$-series $L(\chi,s)$ (again, as distinct from the Euler product expression).
Now we come the the Dedekind zeta function, defined in terms of some algebraic number field $K$: $$ \zeta_K(s) := \sum_{\mathfrak{a}}\frac{1}{N(\mathfrak{a})^s}, $$ where the sum is taken over all integral ideals $\mathfrak{a} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$, and $N$ denotes the ideal norm in $\mathcal{O}_K$.
My question is: What do we call $\sum_{\mathfrak{a}}\frac{1}{N(\mathfrak{a})^s}$? Note that it is not a Dirichlet series.
Might we call it the additive series expression (again, as distinct from the Euler product expression)?
Any suggestions, or does anyone know of a universally accepted standard name for it?
Many thanks.
Call it a "Dirichlet series indexed by the ideals of $K$" (really, by the "nonzero ideals of $\mathcal O_K$").
In a similar way, the product representation $$ \zeta_K(s) = \prod_{\mathfrak p} \frac{1}{1 - 1/{\rm N}(\mathfrak p)^s} $$ for ${\rm Re}(s) > 1$ is an "Euler product indexed by the primes of $K$" (really, by the "nonzero prime ideals of $\mathcal O_K$"). This should be distinguished from an Euler product over rational primes, which in this case would be $$ \zeta_K(s) = \prod_{p} \frac{1}{Q_p(1/p^s)} $$ for $Q_p(1/p^s) = \prod_{\mathfrak p\mid p} (1 - 1/{\rm N}(\mathfrak p)^s)$. Over $\mathbf Q$, a function represented by a Dirichlet series or Euler product on some right half-plane has a unique such expression, but over a number field bigger than $\mathbf Q$ there are many different ideals (including different prime ideals) with the same norm, so a Dirichlet series or Euler product over a number field bigger than $\mathbf Q$ can arise in more than one way (it does not determine its coefficients).
