Riemann zeta function is analytic for $\operatorname{Re}(z)>1$

642 Views Asked by At

I want to show that, Riemann zeta function is analytic on the domain $\operatorname{Re}(z)>1$. I know that it is absolutely and uniformly convergent on the right half of the line $Re(z)=1$. Now, I am trying to invoke Morera's theorem to prove its analyticity, but I am not quite sure how to do that. Can anyone help?

In general, if anyone can point me to some other direction then that is also welcome.

Otherwise it is immediate that for $\Re(c)> 1$ and $|s-c|<\Re(c)-1$, by absolute convergence $$\sum_{n\ge 1}n^{-s}=\sum_{n\ge 1}n^{-c}\sum_{k\ge 0}\frac{((c-s)\log n)^k}{k!}=\sum_{k\ge 0} (c-s)^k \sum_{n\ge 1}n^{-c} \frac{(\log n)^k}{k!} $$

We need the whole analytic continuation of $\zeta(s)$ and the Cauchy integral formula to prove that the latter series in fact converges for $|s-c|<|c-1|$.

From analyticity of $\sum_{n=1}^k \frac{1}{n^z}$, we get that $ \int_{\mathfrak{D}}\sum_{n=1}^k \frac{1}{n^z}=0 $, from Goursat's Theorem. Now, from uniform convergence of the partial sums, $\sum_{n=1}^k \frac{1}{n^z}$, to $\zeta(z)$ in $Re(z)>1$, we get

$$ lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}\int_{\mathfrak{D}}\sum_{n=1}^k \frac{1}{n^z}=\int_{\mathfrak{D}}\zeta(z)=0 $$ Therefore, analytic.
