Zeta Lerch function. Proof of functional equation.

so I'm trying to prove the functional equation of Lerch Zeta, through the Hankel contour and Residue theorem, did the following. In the article "Note sur la function" by Mr. Mathias Lerch, a ...

Understanding the functional equation $\left( \frac{2}{\pi} \right)^s \sin \left( \frac{\pi s}{2} \right) \Gamma(s)L(s)= L(1-s).$

In the functional equation $L(s)$ is the Dirichlet Beta function which is defined as $L(s)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}$ where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character of period 4. Now I know that ...

Squared modulus of Dirichlet eta function.

I have a problem: Find formula for $|\eta(x+iy)|^{2}$, where $\eta(x+iy)=\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{x+iy}}$ I calculated it in two ways and i got a contradiction. First method: $|\eta(x+iy)|...

How are values of the Dirichlet Beta function derivative derived?

Wolfram Mathworld gives the following values for the beta function derivative. $$\beta'(-1) = \frac{2K}{\pi},\quad \beta'(0) = \ln \left[\frac{\Gamma^{2}(\frac{1}{4})}{2\pi\sqrt{2}} \right],\quad \...

Is $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n (2n+1)^{-s}$ expressible in terms of the zeta function?

I am interested if the alternating Dirichlet Lambda function $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n (2n+1)^{-s}$$ can be expressed in terms of the zeta function or another Dirichlet L-Function. I know that for $...

How to prove this Dirichlet series identity?

On this website, within a proof of the prime number theorem, they boldly make the following claim:$$-\frac{\zeta'(x)}{\zeta(x)}=\sum_n \frac{\Lambda(n)}{n^x}$$ Where $\Lambda(x)$ is the von Mangoldt ...

Dirichlet $L$ functions at $s=2$

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character and let $L(\chi,s)$ denotes its Dirichlet $L$-function. What is the value of $L(2,\chi)$ ? Or simply, is $L(2,\chi)/\pi^2$ rational ? Many thanks for your answer !...

Writing Dirichlet series in infinite product.

In Serre's $A \, Course\, In \,Arithmetic$, it says the following: $\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}c(n)/n^s= \prod\limits_{p \,\rm prime}\frac{1}{1-c(p)p^{-s}+p^{2k-1-2s}}$ $\Longleftrightarrow$ ...

$\zeta_m(s)=\prod\limits_{p\nmid m} \frac{1}{\left(1-\frac{1}{p^{f(p)s}}\right)^{g(p)}}$ is a Dirichlet series with non-negative coefficients

Let $p$ be a prime number, $m$ be any integer, $f(p)$ be the order of $p$ in $(Z/mZ)^*$, $i.e.$ $p^{f(p)} \equiv 1 \pmod m$ with $f(p)$ smallest. Let $g(p)=\frac{\phi(m)}{f(p)}$ is a integer where $\...

Convergence of the Fourier Transform of the Prime $\zeta$ Functions

I think I found a way to write the truncated Prime $\zeta$ function like this: $$ P_x(s)=\sum_{p<x} \frac{1}{p^s} =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{ \mu (n)}{n} \sum_{z\in\{1,\rho\}}(-1)^{1-\delta_{1z}} \...

Summing Lerch Transcendents

The Lerch transcendent is given by $$ \Phi(z, s, \alpha) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac { z^n} {(n+\alpha)^s}. $$ While computing $\sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sum_{p=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)...
