Convergence abscissas for Dirichlet series with multiplicative coefficients (Q346268): Difference between revisions

Considering the standard definition of a Dirichlet series \[ f(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn^{-s}\quad(s=\sigma+it), \] one can define three convergence abscissas: \[ \begin{aligned} \sigma_c(f)&=\inf\left\{\sigma:\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn^{-\sigma}\text{ converges}\right\},\\ \sigma_b(f)&=\inf\left\{\sigma:\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn^{-\sigma-it}\text{ converges uniformly for }t\in\mathbb R\right\},\\ \sigma_a(f)&=\inf\left\{\sigma:\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|n^{-\sigma}\text{ converges}\right\}.\end{aligned} \] The authors study the relationship between these abscissas when the sequence \(a_n\) is (completely) multiplicative. The authors prove the following two statements: 1) There exists a Dirichlet series \(f\) with completely multiplicative coefficients such that \(\sigma_a(f)-\sigma_c(f)=\alpha\) for any \(\alpha\in[0,1]\). 2) For any Dirichlet series \(f\) with multiplicative coefficients, \(\sigma_a(f)=\sigma_b(f)\).
