1 Mathematics 324 Riemann Zeta Function August 5, 25 In this note we give an introduction to the Riemann zeta function, which connects the ideas of real analysis with the arithmetic of the integers. Define a function of a real variable s as follows, ζ(s) = This function is called the Riemann zeta function, after the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann who systematically studied the deeper properties of this function beginning in 859. The infinite series for ζ(s) was actually first introduced by Euler nearly years before Riemann s work. Note that from the integral test, the series for ζ(s) converges for s >, and therefore the function ζ(s) is defined for all real numbers s >. Also, since for all n, we have for all s >. Now we let s +, and we see that n s. n+ n s dx n x s, n s dx x s = s lim ζ(s) =. s + Infinite Products In order to discuss the connection of ζ(s) with the primes, we need the concept of an infinite product, which is very similar to the notion of an infinite sum. Definition. Given a sequence of real numbers {a n } n, let p = a, p 2 = a a 2, p 3 = a a 2 a 3,. p n = a a 2 a n = n a k. The ordered pair of sequences {{a n }, {p n }} is called an infinite product. The real number p n is called the n th partial product and a n is called the n th factor of the product, and the following symbols are used to denote the infinite product defined above: k= a a 2 a n or a n.
2 Using the the analogy with infinite series, where we say that the series converges if and only if the sequence of partial sums converges, it is tempting to say that the infinite product converges if and only if the sequence of partial products converges. However, if we do this, then every product which has one factor equal to zero would converge, regardless of the behavior of the remaining factors. The definition below is more useful: n Definition. Given an infinite product a n, let p n = a k be the n th partial product. (a) If infinitely many factors a n are zero, then we say the product diverges to zero. (b) If no factor a n is zero, then we say that the product converges if and only if there exists a p, such that p n p as n. In this case, p is called the value of the product, and we write p = a n. k= If p n as n, then we say the product diverges to zero. (c) If there exists an integer N such that n > N implies that a n, then we say that (d) provided that n=n+ a n converges, a n converges as described in part (b). In this case, the value of the product is a a 2 a N n=n+ a n is said to be divergent if it does not converge as described in parts (b) and (c) above. Note: The value of a convergent infinite product can be zero, but this is the case if and only if a finite number of the factors are zero. Also, the convergence of an infinite product is not affected by inserting or removing a finite number of factors, zero or not. Now we give a criterion for the converge of infinite products, completely analogous to the corresponding criterion for convergence of infinite series. Theorem (Cauchy Criteria for Convergence of an Infinite Product). The infinite product a n converges if and only if given any ɛ >, there exists an integer n such that whenever m > n n. Proof. Assume first that the product m k=n+ a k < ɛ a n. a n converges, we may also assume that no a n is zero (discarding a finite number of terms if necessary). Let p n = a a 2 a n and p = lim n p n, so that p, and there exists an M > such that p n > M for all n. Now, since {p n } satisfies the Cauchy criteria for sequences, given an ɛ >, there exists an integer n such that p m p n < ɛm m whenever m > n n. Dividing by p n we get a k < ɛ whenever m > n n. k=n+
3 Conversly, suppose that given any ɛ >, there exists an integer n such that m a k < ɛ k=n+ ( ) whenever m > n n. First note that if m > n this implies that a m, since (assuming that < ɛ < ), taking n = m, we have a m a m < ɛ, that is, for m n. Now take ɛ = 2, and let q for m > n, then < ɛ < a m < + ɛ m = a n+a n+2 a m 2 < q m < 3 2, for all m > n. Therefore, if {q m } converges, it cannot converge to zero. To see that the sequence {q n } does actually converge, let < ɛ < 2 be arbitrary, then there exists an n such that q m q n < 2 3 ɛ whenever m > n n, that is, q m q n < 2 3 ɛ q n < ɛ = ɛ whenever m > n n. Thus, the sequence {q n } is a Cauchy sequence of real numbers, and hence converges, and so the infinite product a n converges. Note: Taking n = m in ( ), we see that if the infinite product lim a n =. n a n converges, then Because of this, the factors of a product are often written as + a n, so that convergence of a product ( + a n ) implies that lim a n =. n Theorem. If a n > for all n, then the infinite product series a n converges. Proof. Let the partial sums and partial products be given by ( + a n ) converges if and only if the infinite s n = a + a a n and p n = ( + a )( + a 2 ) ( + a n ) for n. Since a n > for all n, then both of the sequences {s n } and {p n } are monotone increasing, and to prove the theorem, we only have to show that {s n } is bounded above if and only if {p n } is bounded above.
4 First we note that s n < p n for all n. Now using the fact that + x e x for all real numbers x, we have p n = ( + a )( + a 2 ) ( + a n ) e a e a2 e an = e sn for all n. Therefore the sequence {p n } is bounded above if and only if the sequence {s n } is bounded above. Also, note that the sequence of partial products {p n } cannot converge to zero, since p n for n. Finally, note that p n + if and only if s n +. Definition. The infinite product ( + a n ) is said to converge absolutely if and only if the infinite product ( + a n ) converges. Theorem. If the infinite product ( + a n ) converges absolutely, then it converges. Proof. Use the Cauchy criterion together with the inequality ( + a n+ )( + a n+2 ) ( + a m ) ( + a n+ )( + a n+2 ) ( + a m ). Note: For positive terms a n > for all n, we know that converges, so that ( + a n ) converges if and only if ( + a n ) converges absolutely if and only if a n a n converges absolutely. However, if the terms are not positive, we have the following examples to show the results need not be valid. Exercise. Let a n = ( )n for n, show that ( + a n ) diverges, but a n converges. n Exercise 2. Let for n =, 2,..., show that a 2n = n and a 2n = n + n ( + a n ) converges, but a n diverges. We do have a theorem analogous to the positive term result: Theorem. If a for all n, then the infinite product ( a n ) converges if and only if the infinite series a n converges. Proof. Note that convergence of convergence of ( a n ). a n implies the absolute convergence of ( a n ), and hence the
5 Conversely, suppose that a n diverges, if {a n } does not converge to zero, then ( a n ) also diverges. Therefore, we may assume that a n as n, and by discarding finitely many terms if necessary, we may assume that a n 2 for all n. But then, a n 2 for all n, and so a n for n. Let for all n, then since p n = ( a )( a 2 ) ( a n ) and q n = ( + a )( + a 2 ) ( + a n ) we have p n q n for all n. Now since a n diverges, then ( a k )( + a k ) = a 2 k ( + a n ) diverges also, and q n + as n. Therefore, p n as n and so by part (b) of the definition of convergence, it follows that ( a n ) diverges to. Euler s Product Formula for the Riemann Zeta Function We now have enough information to prove Euler s theorem and make the connection between infinite products and prime numbers. Theorem (Euler s Product Formula) Let p k denote the k th prime number, if s >, then ζ(s) = and the infinite product converges absolutely. Proof. For m, let P m = k= n s = m k= k= p s k p s k be the m th partial product of the infinite product. If we write each factor as a convergent geomteric series, we have m ( P m = + p s + ) k p 2s +, k which is a product of a finite number of absolutely convergent infinite series, and multiplying these series together and rearranging the terms according to increasing denominators, we get another absolutely convergent infinite series, and a typical term looks like p as p a2s 2 p ams = m n s where n = p a pa2 2 pam m, and a i for i =, 2,..., m. Therefore, P m = { } n s : all prime factors of n are p m and by the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, each such n occurs exactly once in the summation.,
6 Therefore, ζ(s) P m = { } n s : at least one prime factor of n is > p m and since these prime factors occur among the integers n > p m, we have ζ(s) P m n>p m n s. As m, the sum on the right tends to, since Finally, the product has the form and the series ( + a n ) where lim P m = ζ(s). m a n = p s n converges, and therefore ns + p 2s +, n a n converges absolutely since it is dominated by ( + a n ) also converges absolutely., and therefore the infinite product ns Evaluating the Zeta Function In 734, Euler found that and he later found closed formulas for ζ(2) = n 2 = π2 6, ζ(4) = ζ(6) = ζ(8) =. but he failed to find a closed formula for ζ(3) =. In fact, it was not even known if ζ(3) was irrational n3 or not until 979, when R. Apery proved that ζ(3) is irrational. It is still unknown whether or not ζ(3) is transcendental. n 4 n 6 n 8
7 An elementary proof that ζ(2) = π2 uses the theory of Fourier series to sum the series. There is another 6 elementary proof given below that uses only the binomial theorem and some elementary facts about the roots of polynomials with integer coefficients. Theorem. ζ(2) = n 2 = π2 6. Proof. Note that for < x < π 2, we have < sin x < x < tan x, so that < cot x < < csc x, and x therefore cot 2 x < x 2 < csc2 x () for < x < π 2. Now let m N, then for k =,..., m we have < for all m ; therefore, m cot 2 k= m 2m + < k= 2m + < π, so that 2 (2m + ) 2 k 2 π 2 < m csc 2 k= 2m + π 2 (2m + ) 2 m cot 2 k= m 2m + < k= k 2 < π 2 (2m + ) 2 m csc 2 k= 2m + (2) for all m. Now we find explicit formulas for m cot 2 2m+ and m k= 2m+. From DeMoivre s formula and the binomial theorem, we have, for x R and n N, cos nx + i sin nx = ( cos x + i sin x ) n = n n n j j cos x i sin x j k= [ n 2 ] n = cos n 2j x (i) 2j sin 2j x + 2j csc 2 [ n 2 ] [ n 2 ] [ j n n = cos n 2j x sin 2j x + i 2j and equating real and imaginary parts in this expression, we have n cos n 2j x (i) 2j+ sin 2j+ x 2j + 2 ] j n cos n 2j x sin 2j+ x, 2j + [ n 2 ] j n cos nx = cos n 2j x sin 2j x (3) 2j and sin nx = [ n 2 ] j n cos n 2j x sin 2j+ x. (4) 2j +
8 Now, if sin x, and m N, then taking n = 2m + in (4), we have sin(2m + )x = m j 2m + cos 2m 2j x sin 2j+ x 2j + = sin 2m+ x = sin 2m+ x m m j 2m + ( cos 2 x ) m j ( sin 2 x ) j m 2j + j 2m + ( cot 2 x ) m j, 2j + that is, sin(2m + )x = sin 2m+ x for all m N, provided that sin x. Taking x = 2m+, for k =, 2,..., m; then m j 2m + ( cot 2 x ) m j 2j + (5) sin for k =, 2,..., m, and (5) yields 2m+ but sin ( (2m + ) 2m+) = sin = m for k =, 2,..., m. Therefore, the m roots of the equation are t = cot 2 2m+, k =, 2,..., m. j 2m + cot 2 m j 2j + 2m+ = (6) m j 2m + t m j = 2j + Now, if p(t) = a + a t + + a m t m is a polynomial in t of degree m, and if λ, λ 2,..., λ m are the roots of p, then p(t) = a m (t λ )(t λ 2 ) (t λ m ) k= = a m t m a m (λ + + λ m )t m + so the coefficient of t m is a m (λ + +λ m ). Now, for p(t) = m ( ) j 2m+ 2j+ t m j, the coefficient of t m is 2m+ 3 and am = 2m+, and therefore from (6) we have ( m 2m+ ) cot 2 2m + = 3 m(2m ) ) = (7) 3 for all m. and since csc 2 x = + cot 2 x, then ( 2m+ m csc 2 2m(m + ) = 2m + 3 k= (8) for all m.
9 Combining (2), (7) and (8), we have for all m, and letting m, we have as required. 2m(2m ) (2m + ) 2 π2 m 6 < 2m(2m + 2) < k2 (2m + ) 2 π2 6, (9) k= k= k 2 = π2 6. Example. The usual Fourier series evaluation of ζ(2) looks at the function f(x) = x 2, < x < π, and then finds the Fourier cosine series of f, the even 2π-periodic extension of f, to be a 2 + a n cos nx, where for n =,, 2,.... For n =, we have a = 2 π π a n = 2 π π x 2 dx = 2 π x3 3 f(x) cos nx dx π = 2 π π3 3 = 2π2 3. For n, we have a n = 2 π π = 4 nπ = 4( )n n 2. x 2 cos nx dx = 2 [ x 2 sin nx π π n 2 n [ x cos nx π n + π ] cos nx dx n Therefore, the Fourier cosine series for f is given by for all x R. f(x) π π ] x sin nx dx = 4 nπ = 4 n 2 ( )n 4 n 3 π ( ) n cos nx n 2 sin nx π π x sin nx dx
10 From Dirichlet s theorem, since the even 2π-periodic extension of f is continuous at each x R, then the Fourier cosine series converges to f(x) for all x R, and we can write f(x) = π ( ) n cos nx for all x R, in particular, when x = π, the series converges to π 2, so that n 2 π 2 = π n 2, and therefore ζ(2) = n 2 = π2 6. Exercise 3. Show that ζ(2) = π2 6 by evaluating the double integral I = dx dy xy in two different ways. (a) Obtain I = ζ(2) from the expansion which is valid for xy <. xy = + xy + x2 y 2 + x 3 y 3 +, (b) Evaluate the integral directly by rotating the coordinate system about the origin through an angle of π to obtain 4 / 2 ( u ) ( 2 ) dv 2 u dv I = 4 2 u 2 + v 2 du + 4 / 2 2 u 2 + v 2 du, integrating with respect to v and then making the substitution u = 2 cos θ.
