Analytic Number Theory calculation involving zeta

60 Views Asked by At

In proving the weak zero free region of the zeta function given by (Hadamard, de la Vallee Poussin 1896) one has for $ \sigma' > 1$ and any $t' \in \mathbb{R}$ we have:

$$|\zeta(\sigma' + it')| = exp(Relog \zeta(\sigma' + it')) $$ $$ = exp(-Re\sum_{p}log(1- \frac{1}{p^{\sigma' + it'}})) $$ $$ = exp(Re \sum_{p} \sum_{k} \frac{1}{kp^{k(\sigma' + it')}})$$ $$ = exp(Re\sum_{p}\sum_{k}\frac{cos(t'klogp)}{kp^{k \sigma'}})$$

How is the last equality obtained? I tried using taylor series but couldn't get the result.

Thanks.

Write $$\frac{1}{p^{k(\sigma' + it')}} = p^{-k(\sigma' + it')} = p^{-k\sigma'} p^{-k it'} = p^{-k\sigma'} (e^{\log(p)})^{-kit'} = p^{-k\sigma'} e^{-i(t' k \log(p))}.$$

Then take the real part, reminding yourself that the real part of $e^{i\theta} = \cos(\theta)$ and that $\cos$ is an even function.
