Summability of a sinc function power 'p', where 1<p<2

Question

We know that a sum of the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left|\frac{sin(a\pi n)}{a\pi n}\right|$ where $a$ is not an integer, is unbounded and tends to infinity. But what about the expression $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left|\frac{sin(a\pi n)}{a\pi n}\right|^p$ where $1<p<2$. Would anyone please provide some insight on this?

Answer 1

Since $|\sin(a\pi n)|\le1$ and the potential series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-p}$ converges if and only if $p>1$, the comparison principle implies that your series converges for all $p>1$.
