Local logarithmic-derivative lemma

ID: local-logarithmic-derivative-lemma

If is holomorphic near the closed radius- disc, , and , the displayed estimate holds away from zeros for , counting zeros with multiplicity. Factoring local zeros isolates their poles; the remaining logarithm is controlled by disc estimates. If all zeros lie to the left of a point in real part, their real contributions are nonnegative. This is the disc estimate used by the Landau zero-free-region theorem; a version with general radius ratios is Lemma 24.17 in Montgomery and Vaughan.
