Lemma 3.8 If \( s > 1 \), then\n\n\[ \mathop{\prod }\limits_{\chi }L\left( {s,\chi }\right) \geq 1 \]\n\nwhere the product is taken over all Dirichlet characters. In particular the product is real-valued.
Proof. We have shown earlier that for \( s > 1 \)\n\n\[ L\left( {s,\chi }\right) = \exp \left( {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{p}{\log }_{1}\left( \frac{1}{1 - \chi \left( p\right) {p}^{-s}}\right) }\right) .\n\nHence,\n\n\[ \mathop{\prod }\limits_{\chi }L\left( {s,\chi }\right) = \exp \left( {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{\chi }\mat...

Lemma 3.9 The following three properties hold:\n\n(i) If \( L\\left( {1,\\chi }\\right) = 0 \), then \( L\\left( {1,\\bar{\\chi }}\\right) = 0 \) .\n\n(ii) If \( \\chi \) is non-trivial and \( L\\left( {1,\\chi }\\right) = 0 \), then\n\n\[ \n\\left| {L\\left( {s,\\chi }\\right) }\\right| \\leq C\\left| {s - 1}\\right| ...
Proof. The first statement is immediate because \( L\\left( {1,\\bar{\\chi }}\\right) = \\overline{L\\left( {1,\\chi }\\right) } \) . The second statement follows from the mean-value theorem since \( L\\left( {s,\\chi }\\right) \) is continuously differentiable for \( s > 0 \) when \( \\chi \) is non-trivial. Finally, ...

Proposition 3.11 If \( N \) is a positive integer, then\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{1 \leq n \leq N}}\frac{1}{{n}^{1/2}} = {\int }_{1}^{N}\frac{dx}{{x}^{1/2}} + {c}^{\prime } + O\left( {1/{N}^{1/2}}\right) \]\n\n\[ = 2{N}^{1/2} + c + O\left( {1/{N}^{1/2}}\right) \text{.} \]
The proof is essentially a repetition of the proof of the previous proposition, this time using the fact that\n\n\[ \left| {\frac{1}{{n}^{1/2}} - \frac{1}{{\left( n + 1\right) }^{1/2}}}\right| \leq \frac{C}{{n}^{3/2}} \]\n\nThis last inequality follows from the mean-value theorem applied to \( f\left( x\right) = {x}^{-...

Proof. Let \( {S}_{N} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{N}d\left( k\right) \) . We observed that summing \( F = 1 \) along hyperbolas gives \( {S}_{N} \) . Summing vertically, we find\n\n\[ \n{S}_{N} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{1 \leq m \leq N}}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{1 \leq n \leq N/m}}1 \n\]\n\nBut \( \mathop{\sum }\l...

The proof of the lemma is simple. If \( k \) is a power of a prime, say \( k = {p}^{a} \), then the divisors of \( k \) are \( 1, p,{p}^{2},\ldots ,{p}^{a} \) and\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n \mid k}}\chi \left( n\right) = \chi \left( 1\right) + \chi \left( p\right) + \chi \left( {p}^{2}\right) + \cdots + \chi \left...

Lemma 1.2 If \( f \) is real-valued integrable on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) and \( \varphi \) is a real-valued continuous function on \( \mathbb{R} \), then \( \varphi \circ f \) is also integrable on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) .
Proof. Let \( \epsilon > 0 \) and remember that \( f \) is bounded, say \( \left| f\right| \leq M \) . Since \( \varphi \) is uniformly continuous on \( \left\lbrack {-M, M}\right\rbrack \) we may choose \( \delta > 0 \) so that if \( s, t \in \left\lbrack {-M, M}\right\rbrack \) and \( \left| {s - t}\right| < \delta \...

Proposition 1.3 A bounded monotonic function \( f \) on an interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) is integrable.
Proof. We may assume without loss of generality that \( a = 0, b = 1 \) , and \( f \) is monotonically increasing. Then, for each \( N \), we choose the uniform partition \( {P}_{N} \) given by \( {x}_{j} = j/N \) for all \( j = 0,\ldots, N \) . If \( {\alpha }_{j} = \) \( f\left( {x}_{j}\right) \), then we have\n\n\[ ...

Lemma 1.8 If \( \epsilon > 0 \), then the set \( {A}_{\epsilon } \) is closed and therefore compact.

Write \( \operatorname{osc}\left( {f, c}\right) = \epsilon - \delta \) where \( \delta > 0 \) . Select \( r \) so that \( \operatorname{osc}\left( {f, c, r}\right) < \epsilon - ...

The continuity of \( F \) follows from the uniform continuity of \( f \) on \( R \) and the fact that\n\n\[ \n\left| {F\left( {x}_{1}\right) - F\left( {x}_{1}^{\prime }\right) }\right| \leq {\int }_{{R}_{2}}\left| {f\left( {{x}_{1},{x}_{2}}\right) - f\left( {{x}_{1}^{\prime },{x}_{2}}\right) }\right| d{x}_{2}.\n...

The proof of this theorem consists first of an analysis of the special situation when \( g \) is a linear transformation \( L \) . In this case, if \( R \) is a rectangle, then\n\n\[ \n\left| {g\left( R\right) }\right| = \left| {\det \left( L\right) }\right| \left| R\right|\n\]\nwhich explains the term \( \left| {\det ...

Lemma 1 Suppose that there exists some \( \omega \in \Omega \) such that \( \rho \left( \widetilde{\omega }\right) > 0 \) and \( M\left( \widetilde{\omega }\right) \) is a \( K - {R}_{0} \) matrix.

The condition \( \operatorname{diam}\left( {\Omega }_{n}\right) \rightarrow 0 \) says precisely that \( \left\{ {z}_{n}\right\} \) is a Cauchy sequence, therefore this sequence converges to a limit that we call \( w \) .

Theorem 3.2 If a continuous function \( f \) has a primitive \( F \) in \( \Omega \), and \( \gamma \) is a curve in \( \Omega \) that begins at \( {w}_{1} \) and ends at \( {w}_{2} \), then\n\n\[{\int }_{\gamma }f\left( z\right) {dz} = F\left( {w}_{2}\right) - F\left( {w}_{1}\right)\]

If \( \gamma \left( t\right) : \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \) is a parametrization for \( \gamma \), then\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{\gamma }\frac{f\left( \zeta \right) }{\zeta - z}{d\zeta } = {\int }_{0}^{1}\frac{f\left( {\gamma \left( t\right) }\right) }{\gamma \left( t\right) - z}{\gamma }^{\...

Theorem 1.1 Suppose that \( f \) is holomorphic in a connected open set \( \Omega \) , has a zero at a point \( {z}_{0} \in \Omega \), and does not vanish identically in \( \Omega \) . Then there exists a neighborhood \( U \subset \Omega \) of \( {z}_{0} \), a non-vanishing holomorphic function \( g \) on \( U \), and ...
Proof. Since \( \Omega \) is connected and \( f \) is not identically zero, we conclude that \( f \) is not identically zero in a neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) . In a small disc centered at \( {z}_{0} \) the function \( f \) has a power series expansion\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 0}}^{\infty }...

Theorem 1.2 If \( f \) has a pole at \( {z}_{0} \in \Omega \), then in a neighborhood of that point there exist a non-vanishing holomorphic function \( h \) and a unique positive integer \( n \) such that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = {\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{-n}h\left( z\right) . \]
Proof. By the previous theorem we have \( 1/f\left( z\right) = {\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}g\left( z\right) \) , where \( g \) is holomorphic and non-vanishing in a neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \), so the result follows with \( h\left( z\right) = 1/g\left( z\right) \) .

Theorem 1.3 If \( f \) has a pole of order \( n \) at \( {z}_{0} \), then\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \frac{{a}_{-n}}{{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}} + \frac{{a}_{-n + 1}}{{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n - 1}} + \cdots + \frac{{a}_{-1}}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) } + G\left( z\right) ,\] \n\nwhere \( G \) is a holomorphi...
Proof. The proof follows from the multiplicative statement in the previous theorem. Indeed, the function \( h \) has a power series expansion\n\n\[ h\left( z\right) = {A}_{0} + {A}_{1}\left( {z - {z}_{0}}\right) + \cdots \]\n\nso that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = {\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{-n}\left( {{A}_{0} + {A}_{1}\l...

Theorem 1.4 If \( f \) has a pole of order \( n \) at \( {z}_{0} \), then\n\n\[ \n{\operatorname{res}}_{{z}_{0}}f = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{z \rightarrow {z}_{0}}}\frac{1}{\left( {n - 1}\right) !}{\left( \frac{d}{dz}\right) }^{n - 1}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}f\left( z\right) .\n\]
The theorem is an immediate consequence of formula (1), which implies\n\n\[ \n{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}f\left( z\right) = {a}_{-n} + {a}_{-n + 1}\left( {z - {z}_{0}\right) + \cdots + {a}_{-1}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n - 1} + \n\]\n\n\[ \n+ G\left( z\right) {\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}\text{.} \n\]

Theorem 2.1 Suppose that \( f \) is holomorphic in an open set containing a circle \( C \) and its interior, except for a pole at \( {z}_{0} \) inside \( C \) . Then\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{C}f\left( z\right) {dz} = {2\pi i}{\operatorname{res}}_{{z}_{0}}f \n\]
Proof. Once again, we may choose a keyhole contour that avoids the pole, and let the width of the corridor go to zero to see that\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{C}f\left( z\right) {dz} = {\int }_{{C}_{\epsilon }}f\left( z\right) {dz} \n\]\n\nwhere \( {C}_{\epsilon } \) is the small circle centered at the pole \( {z}_{0} \) and of ra...

Corollary 2.2 Suppose that \( f \) is holomorphic in an open set containing a circle \( C \) and its interior, except for poles at the points \( {z}_{1},\ldots ,{z}_{N} \) inside C. Then\n\n\[{\int }_{C}f\left( z\right) {dz} = {2\pi i}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{N}{\operatorname{res}}_{{z}_{k}}f.\]
For the proof, consider a multiple keyhole which has a loop avoiding each one of the poles. Let the width of the corridors go to zero. In the limit, the integral over the large circle equals a sum of integrals over small circles to which Theorem 2.1 applies.
No
Corollary 2.3 Suppose that \( f \) is holomorphic in an open set containing a toy contour \( \gamma \) and its interior, except for poles at the points \( {z}_{1},\ldots ,{z}_{N} \) inside \( \gamma \) .

The proof consists of choosing a keyhole appropriate for the given toy contour, so that, as we have seen previously, we can reduce the situation to integrating over small circles around the poles where Theorem 2.1 applies.

Theorem 3.1 (Riemann's theorem on removable singularities) Suppose that \( f \) is holomorphic in an open set \( \Omega \) except possibly at a point \( {z}_{0} \) in \( \Omega \) . If \( f \) is bounded on \( \Omega - \left\{ {z}_{0}\right\} \), then \( {z}_{0} \) is a removable singularity.
Proof. Since the problem is local we may consider a small disc \( D \) centered at \( {z}_{0} \) and whose closure is contained in \( \Omega \) . Let \( C \) denote the boundary circle of that disc with the usual positive orientation. We shall prove that if \( z \in D \) and \( z \neq {z}_{0} \), then under the assumpt...

Corollary 3.2 Suppose that \( f \) has an isolated singularity at the point \( {z}_{0} \) . Then \( {z}_{0} \) is a pole of \( f \) if and only if \( \left| {f\left( z\right) }\right| \rightarrow \infty \) as \( z \rightarrow {z}_{0} \) .
Proof. If \( {z}_{0} \) is a pole, then we know that \( 1/f \) has a zero at \( {z}_{0} \), and therefore \( \left| {f\left( z\right) }\right| \rightarrow \infty \) as \( z \rightarrow {z}_{0} \) . Conversely, suppose that this condition holds. Then \( 1/f \) is bounded near \( {z}_{0} \), and in fact \( 1/\left| {f\le...

Then, the image of \( {D}_{r}\left( {z}_{0}\right) - \left\{ {z}_{0}\right\} \) under \( f \) is dense in the complex p...
Proof. We argue by contradiction. Assume that the range of \( f \) is not dense, so that there exists \( w \in \mathbb{C} \) and \( \delta > 0 \) such that\n\n\[ \left| {f\left( z\right) - w}\right| > \delta \;\text{ for all }z \in {D}_{r}\left( {z}_{0}\right) - \left\{ {z}_{0}\right\} . \]\n\nWe may therefore define a...

Theorem 3.4 The meromorphic functions in the extended complex plane are the rational functions.
Proof. Suppose that \( f \) is meromorphic in the extended plane. Then \( f\left( {1/z}\right) \) has either a pole or a removable singularity at 0, and in either case it must be holomorphic in a deleted neighborhood of the origin, so that the function \( f \) can have only finitely many poles in the plane, say at \( {...

Theorem 4.4 (Open mapping theorem) If \( f \) is holomorphic and nonconstant in a region \( \Omega \), then \( f \) is open.
Proof. Let \( {w}_{0} \) belong to the image of \( f \), say \( {w}_{0} = f\left( {z}_{0}\right) \) . We must prove that all points \( w \) near \( {w}_{0} \) also belong to the image of \( f \) .

Theorem 4.5 (Maximum modulus principle) If \( f \) is a non-constant holomorphic function in a region \( \Omega \), then \( f \) cannot attain a maximum in \( \Omega \) .
Proof. Suppose that \( f \) did attain a maximum at \( {z}_{0} \) . Since \( f \) is holomorphic it is an open mapping, and therefore, if \( D \subset \Omega \) is a small disc centered at \( {z}_{0} \), its image \( f\left( D\right) \) is open and contains \( f\left( {z}_{0}\right) \) . This proves that there are poin...

In fact, since \( f\left( z\right) \) is continuous on the compact set \( \bar{\Omega } \), then \( \left| {f\left( z\right) }\right| \) attains its maximum in \( \bar{\Omega } \) ; but this cannot be in \( \Omega \) if \( f \) is non-constant. If \( f \) is constant, the conclusion is trivial.

Corollary 7.3 If \( f \) is holomorphic in a disc \( {D}_{R}\left( {z}_{0}\right) \), and \( u = \operatorname{Re}\left( f\right) \) , then\n\n\[ u\left( {z}_{0}\right) = \frac{1}{2\pi }{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }u\left( {{z}_{0} + r{e}^{i\theta }}\right) {d\theta },\;\text{ for any }0 < r < R. \]
Recall that \( u \) is harmonic whenever \( f \) is holomorphic, and in fact, the above corollary is a property enjoyed by every harmonic function in the disc \( {D}_{R}\left( {z}_{0}\right) \) . This follows from Exercise 12 in Chapter 2, which shows that every harmonic function in a disc is the real part of a holomor...

Proof. Recall that \( \widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) = {\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }f\left( x\right) {e}^{-{2\pi ix\xi }}{dx} \). The case \( b = 0 \) simply says that \( \widehat{f} \) is bounded, which follows at once from the integral defining \( \widehat{f} \), the assumption that \( f \) is of moderate decrease, and...

Proof. Since \( A > 0 \) and \( B \in \mathbb{R} \), we have \( \left| {e}^{-\left( {A + {iB}}\right) \xi }\right| = {e}^{-{A\xi }} \), and the integral converges.

Since by the theorem \( f \) is analytic in a region containing the real line, the corollary is a consequence of Theorem 4.8 in Chapter 2. In particular, we recover the fact proved in Exercise 21, Chapter 5 in Book I, namely that \( f \) and \( \widehat{f} \) cannot both have compact support unless \( f = 0 \) .

If \( \left| z\right| \leq 1/2 \), then with the logarithm defined in terms of the power series, we have \( 1 - z = {e}^{\log \left( {1 - z}\right) } \), and therefore\n\n\[ \n{E}_{k}\left( z\right) = {e}^{\log \left( {1 - z}\right) + z + {z}^{2}/2 + \cdots + {z}^{k}/k} = {e}^{w}, \n\]\n\nwhere \( w = - \mathop{...

Corollary 5.4 There exists a sequence of radii, \( {r}_{1},{r}_{2},\ldots \), with \( {r}_{m} \rightarrow \infty \), such that\n\n\[ \left| {\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{E}_{k}\left( {z/{a}_{n}}\right) }\right| \geq {e}^{-c{\left| z\right| }^{s}}\;\text{ for }\left| z\right| = {r}_{m} \]
Proof. Since \( \sum {\left| {a}_{n}\right| }^{-k - 1} < \infty \), there exists an integer \( N \) so that\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = N}}^{\infty }{\left| {a}_{n}\right| }^{-k - 1} < 1/{10} \]\n\nTherefore, given any two consecutive large integers \( L \) and \( L + 1 \), we can find a positive number \( r \) w...

Proof. By the Hadamard factorization theorem and the fact that \( 1/\Gamma \) is entire, of growth order 1, and has simple zeros at \( s = 0, - 1, - 2,\ldots \), we can expand \( 1/\Gamma \) in a Weierstrass product of the form \n\n\[ \n\frac{1}{\Gamma \left( s\right) } = {e}^{{As} + B}s\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{n = 1}}...

Moreover, \[ \xi \left( s\right) = \xi \left( {1 - s}\right) \;\text{ for all }s \in \...
Proof. The idea of the proof is to use the functional equation for \( \vartheta \) , namely \[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty }}^{\infty }{e}^{-\pi {n}^{2}u} = {u}^{-1/2}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty }}^{\infty }{e}^{-\pi {n}^{2}/u},\;u > 0. \] We then could multiply both sides by \( {u}^{\left( {s/2}\righ...

Corollary 2.6 For \( \operatorname{Re}\left( s\right) > 0 \) we have\n\n\[ \zeta \left( s\right) - \frac{1}{s - 1} = H\left( s\right) \]\n\nwhere \( H\left( s\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{\delta }_{n}\left( s\right) \) is holomorphic in the half-plane \( \operatorname{Re}\left( s\right) > 0 \) .
Turning to the corollary, we assume first that \( \operatorname{Re}\left( s\right) > 1 \) . We let \( N \) tend to infinity in formula (8) of the proposition, and observe that by the estimate \( \left| {{\delta }_{n}\left( s\right) }\right| \leq \left| s\right| /{n}^{\sigma + 1} \) we have the uniform convergence of th...

In particular, the proposition implies that \( \zeta \left( {1 + {it}}\right) = O\left( {\left| t\right| }^{\epsilon }\right) \) as \( \left| t\right| \) tends to infinity, \( {}^{3} \) and the same estimate also holds for \( {\zeta }^{\prime } \).
