 Truncated Perron kernel estimate

For $v\ne 1$, $K_T(v)$ differs from $1_{v>1}$ by $O(v^c\min (1,(T|\log v|{)}^{-1}))$. Close the contour to the left for $v>1$ and to the right for $v<1$; horizontal sides give the logarithmic denominator and the nearby transition is bounded. At $v=1$, direct integration gives $K_T(1)={\pi }^{-1}\arctan (T/c)=1/2+O(c/T)$. This explains the half-weight endpoint in the truncated Perron formula. The constants may be taken uniform for $1\le c\le 2$ and $T\ge 2$.
