The Riemann xi function is the entire functionwith . Its Hadamard factorization iswhere the Nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are repeated by multiplicity and the factors are canonical genus-one factors.
Here is the growth estimate needed for the Jensen zero-count bound. For , functional symmetry reduces to . Euler summation truncated at bounds by a fixed power of , uniformly in that region; the multiplication cancels the pole at one. The logarithmic gamma estimate bounds by , including the bounded small- part separately. The remaining elementary factors obey the same bound. ThusFor a zero with , its contribution in Jensen's formula on radius is at least . ConsequentlyIf a zero lies on the integration circle, use nearby radii and continuity of the zero-count estimate. Hence for . The growth also gives order at most one and justifies the stated Hadamard factorization; the zero-count bound gives convergence of its genus-one factors.
The printed logarithmic Stirling hint drops the term . The correct expansion is in a fixed sector. Its consequence is all that the argument needs.
