Absence of zeros of $\zeta(s)$ on the line $\sigma = 1$ under prime number theorem

In this article we show that prime number theorem implies nonvanishing of $\zeta(s)$ on the line $\sigma = 1$ and the argument we present here follows closely the approach taken in Ingham’s book The Distribution of Prime Numbers. The key … Continue reading

A Möbius function formulation of prime number theorem

The prime number theorem states that\[\pi(x) \sim \frac{x}{\log x}.\] It is equivalent to $\psi(x) \sim x$ or $\theta(x) \sim x$. Let $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$. In this article we will show that prime number theorem is also equivalent … Continue reading
