Euler product Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An Euler product factors a Dirichlet series into local factors indexed by prime numbers. For a multiplicative arithmetic function and in a half-plane of absolute convergence,
If is a multiplicative function with , then for its Dirichlet series has the Euler product
Indeed, expanding the product over a finite set of primes and using unique prime factorization gives the sum over integers having no other prime factors. Moreover,
so absolute convergence permits rearrangement and passage to the limit over all primes. This proves the formula.

For , the Dirichlet series multiplication rule and give
Apply an effective Perron formula on the line and truncate at
The bound from part (c) controls the truncation error.
Use the classical Zero-free region of the Riemann zeta function
together with there. Contour shifting moves the Perron contour to . The only crossed singularity is the double pole at , whose residue is by part (b). On the new contour,
and the logarithmic-derivative bounds contribute only powers of , which can be absorbed by reducing the positive constant in the exponential. The horizontal integrals and Perron truncation error are as well. Therefore, for some ,

Perron formula Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Perron's formula recovers a summatory arithmetic function from its Dirichlet series by the inverse Mellin integral
with the usual convergence and endpoint conventions.
