Analytic continuation of Dirichlet L series via nonstandard limits
Analytic continuation of Dirichlet L series via nonstandard limits
Let be a sequence of complex numbers, and let be its partial sum sequence, assumed to be bounded. Choose a hyperreal number system and define as in Definition 1.5: when it exists, it is the common standard part of for every infinite integer divisible by any finite integer, where is the arithmetic average sequence of . Analytic-continuation conjecture. If exists under this definition, and both its existence and its value are independent of the choice of hyperreal number system, then the Dirichlet series
can be analytically continued to , with the single value given by . The conjecture proposes a nonstandard-analysis criterion for assigning the value of a potentially divergent Dirichlet series at , extending the agreement with analytic continuation known in the special cases discussed earlier in the paper. The general assertion is presented as a technical conjecture, and no resolution is supplied here.
