I notice that the trick to define Dirichlet Eta Function can be repeated for each prime number, let p a prime, and then

\eta_p= (1 - p^{-s}) \zeta(s) - p^{-s} \zeta(s) = (1 - 2 p^s) \zeta(s)

So each prime p defines a function \eta_p that adds a family of zeros at s= (\log 2 + 2 n i \pi) / \log p. Particularly, for p=2 it kills the only pole of zeta in s = 1.

Repeating the trick for each prime, we seem to obtain a function \eta_\infty(s) having the same zeros that the Riemann zeta plus families of zeros of density 1/log p placed at the lines r=log(2)/log(p)

Or, if we don't like to crowd the critical strip, we can use only the left part of the eta, the \eta^F_p(s)= (1 - p^{-s}) \zeta(s), and then for \eta^F_\infty(s) we get all the families cummulated in the r=0 line.

But on other hand it can be argued that \eta^F_\infty(s)=1, as we have removed all the factors in Euler product. So there should be some relation between the n/log(p) zeros in the imaginary line and the other zeros in the Riemann function

It is hard to tell anything as long as ##\eta_\infty## is basically undefined.
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##?
