Dirichlet Series
The von Mangoldt function plays an important role in the theory of Dirichlet series, and in particular, the Riemann zeta function. In particular, one has
for . The logarithmic derivative is then
These are special cases of a more general relation on Dirichlet series. If one has
for a completely multiplicative function, and the series converges for, then
converges for .
