A conjecture about Dirichlet series.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conjecture regarding Dirichlet series, specifically the function g(s) defined as g(s) = ∑_{n=1}^{∞} a(n) n^{-s}, which has a single pole at s=1 with residue C. The main question posed is whether the series converges for s > 1 and if the singularity at s=1 can be effectively managed using Ramanujan resummation techniques. The proposed formulation suggests that g(s) can be expressed in a way that accounts for the pole, allowing for meaningful evaluation at any positive s.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Dirichlet series and their properties
  • Familiarity with complex analysis, particularly poles and residues

if g(s)= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a(n) n^{-s}

Where g(s) has a single pole at s=1 with residue C, then my question/conjecture is if for s >0 (real part of s bigger than 0) we can write

g(s)= C(\frac{1}{s-1}+1)-s\int_{0}^{\infty}dx(Cx-A(x))x^{-s-1}

of course A(x)=\sum_{n \le x}a(n)

the question is if the series converge for s >1 with a pole there is a method to 'substract' this singularity (pole) at s=1 to give meaning for the series at any positive s.

I think that the 'Ramanujan resummation' may help to give the result:

\sum_{ n >1}^{[R]}a(n)n^{-s} = g(s)-C(s-1)^{-1} valid even for s=1 or s>0 (??)

Jose, how's it been?
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
