For , put . Its absolutely convergent Dirichlet series and
give the three-four-one zero-free-region argument
The pole of at one gives
Suppose is a zero with and close to one. Apply the supplied Local partial-fraction expansion of the Riemann zeta logarithmic derivative at . Every term has positive real part, so retaining the term belonging to gives
At the same expansion gives merely . The zero is included in the supplied disk whenever and are sufficiently small. Hence
Set and , where is a sufficiently small fixed constant. If were smaller than a sufficiently small constant , division by would give
a contradiction. Conjugation handles negative . Reducing to absorb the bounded range proves the classical Zero-free region of the Riemann zeta function
