The conformal automorphism of the upper half-plane with the indicated three boundary values isIts Möbius transformation matrix has determinant one, so it preserves $\mathbb{H}$. The inverse is ${\Phi }^{-1}(w)=w/(1-w)$. In particularon the extended real boundary. Therefore the image trace's first contact with the latter ray corresponds to the original time $S$. The map sends the original target at infinity to the new target $1$; it does not preserve the target of the chordal curve.

We use the image half-plane capacity as its time parameter:Since ${\Phi }_t$ is a conformal automorphism of the upper half-plane analytic at ${\xi }_t$, its real derivative there is strictly positive. Hence $u$ is continuous and strictly increasing before $S$. The original time $t$ and image time $u$ must be kept distinct throughout the comparison.

Write $g_t=g_{K_t}$ and, for $s<t$, let $K_{s,t}$ be the filled image hull $g_s(K_t\setminus K_s)$. The half-plane-capacity composition rule givesThe Loewner local growth property says that these mapped increments shrink uniformly on bounded time intervals: for every $A<\infty$,Using diameter instead of radius is equivalent, since a nonempty compact H-hull has its closure meeting the real axis. This is a condition on the increments after mapping out the past, not merely on the Euclidean size of $K_t\setminus K_s$ in the original domain.

For fixed $t$, the nonempty compact sets $\overline{K_{t,t+h}}$, $h>0$, are nested as $h$ decreases. Their diameters tend to zero by Loewner local growth property. The nested-compact-set property gives a single intersection point, and its imaginary part is zero because $K_{t,t+h}$ lies in a real-centred disc of radius tending to zero. Define the Loewner transform byOne may restrict the intersection to sufficiently small $h$. Every point of $K_{t,t+h}$ is within $2{\omega }_A(h)$ of ${\xi }_t$ when $t+h\le A$.

Here is a direct proof of continuity, using the permitted displacement estimate. Fix $s<t$ and put $\delta =t-s$. Take $0<h\le \delta$ and a point $v\in K_{t,t+h}$. Set $z=g_{K_{s,t}}^{-1}(v)$. The hull composition rule puts $z\in K_{s,t+h}$, while the displacement estimate givesSince $z$ is within $2{\omega }_A(\delta +h)$ of ${\xi }_s$, let $h\downarrow 0$, taking $v\to {\xi }_t$, to obtainUse a slightly larger fixed time interval if $t$ is its endpoint. Both terms tend to zero with $\delta$. This proves continuity from both sides, and indeed uniform continuity on every compact time interval. The real boundary value is obtained as a limit; evaluating the displacement estimate directly on a possibly rough boundary is unnecessary.

The Loewner correspondence theorem states that a capacity-$2t$ increasing hull family with Loewner local growth property has the unique continuous real Loewner driving function just defined, and its mapping-out functions solve the Chordal Loewner equationFor each $z\in \mathbb{H}$, this solution is taken up to its maximal lifetime; $\mathbb{H}\setminus K_t$ is precisely the set of points whose lifetimes exceed $t$. Conversely a continuous real driver gives such a hull family through this ordinary differential equation. A continuous driver alone need not have a continuous Loewner trace; that additional assertion is part of the trace theory of SLE, not of the deterministic correspondence theorem.

A continuous process $\gamma :[0,\infty )\to \overline{\mathbb{H}}$ is chordal Schramm–Loewner evolution with parameter $\kappa$ from $0$ to infinity when ${\gamma }_0=0$, its filled past generates these capacity-$2t$ hulls, and their Loewner driving function iswith $B$ standard real Brownian motion. The filling includes bounded components cut off from infinity. Equivalently its Loewner trace is the continuous extension of ${\gamma }_t={\lim }_{y\downarrow 0}{g}_t^{-1}({\xi }_t+iy)$. This last boundary limit is the trace-existence input for SLE.

Fix $r>0$ and scale space and time together:The half-plane capacity of ${\hat{K}}_t$ is $2t$ by part (a). Differentiation givesBy Brownian scaling, $r^{-1}{B}_{r^{2}t}$ is again standard Brownian motion, so the new driver has the same law as the old one. Uniqueness of the Chordal Loewner equation transfers this equality to the hulls and their continuous Loewner traces. ThusThis is capacity-parametrized scale invariance of a Loewner chain. It includes $\kappa =0$, when the driver is zero and the trace is the deterministic vertical slit ${\gamma }_t=2i\sqrt{t}$.

We use the Dirichlet density form of the Chebotarev density theorem, the version directly proved by the permitted information at $s=1$. If $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of number fields with group $G$ and $C$ is a conjugacy class, let $S_C$ be the unramified prime ideals of $K$ whose Frobenius conjugacy class is $C$. ThenThe same conclusion holds for a union of conjugacy classes, replacing $|C|$ by the size of that union. The denominator may equivalently be the sum over all primes of $K$. Here and below $s>1$ is real. This specifies the density being proved; an unweighted prime-counting asymptotic is a stronger formulation and is not being inferred merely from a limit at one.

First establish the necessary pole for a general base field. The Dedekind zeta function as a permutation Artin L-function gives it using exactly the allowed assumptions. Take a finite normal closure $E$ of $K/\mathbb{Q}$, and let $W$ be the permutation representation on ${\mathrm{Hom}}_{\mathbb{Q}}(K,E)$. Its trivial constituent has multiplicity one: an invariant function on the transitive set of embeddings is constant. At a rational prime, a basis of $W^I$ consists of the sums over inertia orbits of embeddings. Frobenius automorphism permutes these orbit sums. Within the decomposition-group orbit belonging to a prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$, the resulting cycle has length $f_{\mathfrak{p}}$, because the residue embeddings are permuted cyclically by finite-field Frobenius. A cycle of length $f$ has determinant $\det (1-T\rho (\mathrm{Frob}))=1-T^f$. Consequently the local factor of an Artin L-function givesincluding at ramified primes. Decomposing $W=1\oplus {⨁}_{\psi \ne 1}{m}_{\psi }\psi$ givesAll factors after $\zeta$ are holomorphic and nonzero at one by the allowed hypothesis. Thus ${\zeta }_K$ has a simple pole there andThis argument also explains why the trivial relative Artin L-function is ${\zeta }_K$, rather than always the Riemann zeta function.

Now let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$, of degree $d_{\chi }$. At an unramified prime the Euler product has local factor $\det (1-{\rho }_{\chi }(g_{\mathfrak{p}})(N\mathfrak{p}{)}^{-s}{)}^{-1}$, where $g_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is a Frobenius representative. The eigenvalues of ${\rho }_{\chi }(g)$ are roots of unity, since $g$ has finite order. Expanding the logarithm for $s>1$ therefore giveswhere the finitely many ramified local factors contribute a function bounded as $s\downarrow 1$. They are nonzero and finite near one because their eigenvalues have modulus one while $(N\mathfrak{p}{)}^{-1}<1$.

The terms $m\ge 2$ are uniformly bounded. Indeed $|\chi (g)|\le d_{\chi }$, and for $N\mathfrak{p}\ge 2$ and $s\ge 1$,There are at most $[K:\mathbb{Q}]$ primes of $K$ above each rational prime and each has norm at least that prime. Hence ${\sum }_{\mathfrak{p}}(N\mathfrak{p}{)}^{-2}<\infty$. Isolating $m=1$ proves the character prime sums in the Chebotarev proof identityFor nontrivial $\chi$, the allowed holomorphy and nonvanishing at one give a local holomorphic logarithm and a bounded right side. The logarithm specified by the Euler series differs from that local branch by a constant multiple of $2\pi i$ on the real interval near one, so it too is bounded. For the trivial character, the right side is $\log (1/(s-1))+O(1)$ by the pole of ${\zeta }_K$. Thus

Expand the conjugacy-class indicator by character orthogonality. For $c\in C$,To see the coefficient, take its inner product with $\chi$: $|G{|}^{-1}{\sum }_{g\in C}\overline{\chi (g)}=|C|\overline{\chi (c)}/|G|$. The irreducible characters form an orthonormal basis of class functions, so this is the full expansion. Substituting the prime-sum estimates leaves only the trivial character's logarithmic term:Division by the diverging logarithm proves the theorem. The same trivial-character calculation shows that all primes of $K$ have density one; adding or removing finitely many primes does not change a Dirichlet density.

There is a necessary qualification for the final polynomial application: the printed claim is false for degree one. For example, $X$ is monic and irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$, yet has the root zero modulo every prime. We prove the intended assertion for degree $n\ge 2$.

Let $L$ be the splitting field of the monic irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\Omega$ be its $n$ roots. The Galois group $G$ acts transitively on $\Omega$. There is a derangement in a transitive group action: count the pairs $(g,\alpha )$ satisfying $g\alpha =\alpha$. The orbit-stabilizer theorem givesIf every $g$ fixed at least one root, the identity, which fixes $n\ge 2$, would make this sum at least $|G|+n-1$, a contradiction. Therefore some $g$ fixes no root, and neither does any conjugate of $g$.

For completeness, relate this group action to reduction without assuming the desired splitting result. All roots are algebraic integers, since the polynomial is monic. Exclude the finitely many primes ramifying in $L$ or dividing the nonzero polynomial discriminant. At a prime $\mathfrak{q}$ over any remaining $p$, the roots reduce to distinct elements of $k_{\mathfrak{q}}$ and give all roots of the reduced polynomial. Arithmetic Frobenius permutes them by $b\mapsto b^p$. A reduced root belongs to ${\mathbb{F}}_p$ exactly when it is fixed by this map. Because reduction is injective on the original root set, this happens exactly when the Frobenius permutation fixes an original root. This proves the Frobenius permutation and roots modulo a prime criterion.

The Chebotarev density theorem assigns the conjugacy class of our fixed-point-free $g$ the positive Dirichlet density $|C_g|/|G|$. All but finitely many of these primes have rootless reduction, so there are infinitely many. More precisely, applying the same argument to the union of all fixed-point-free classes gives

The three quadratic subfields are $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})$, $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{6})$, with respective fundamental discriminants $-8,-3,24$. Their associated quadratic Dirichlet characters are the Kronecker symbolsThe regular representation of $C_2\times C_2$ is the direct sum of the trivial character and these three nontrivial characters. At an unramified prime the character is the sign by which Frobenius automorphism acts on the square root defining its quadratic subfield; at a ramified prime the linear character has no inertia group invariants. The local factor of an Artin L-function consequently givesThe zero values of a quadratic Dirichlet character at conductor primes mean that its local factor is one, not that the whole Artin L-function vanishes there.

Only the rational primes $2,3,5,7$ can contribute to coefficients with index at most ten. Their character values areFor the odd unramified primes these entries follow by checking squares: modulo five, both $-8$ and $-3$ are the nonsquare $2$, while $24$ is the square $4$; modulo seven they are respectively $6,4,3$. At $3$, $-8\equiv 1$ is a square. At $2$, the $-3$ character is $-1$ because the integral quadratic generator has polynomial $X^2+X+1$, irreducible modulo two. The other entries at $2$ and $3$ are zero exactly where the corresponding fundamental discriminant is divisible by that prime. This verifies every local factor, including the ramified ones.

The Euler product makes $a_n$ a multiplicative arithmetic function. Expanding the first two factors givesTherefore $a_2=0$, $a_4=1$, $a_8=0$, $a_3=2$ and $a_9=3$. Both factors for $5$ and $7$ have zero coefficient of $T$, so $a_5=a_7=0$. Multiplicativity gives $a_6=a_2{a}_3=0$ and $a_{10}=a_2{a}_5=0$, while $a_1=1$. The answer isAs an arithmetic check, the regular representation Artin L-function is the Dedekind zeta function of $F$. The local factors say there is one prime of norm four above two and two primes of norm three above three. Their powers give respectively one ideal of norm four and three ideals of norm nine, matching the nonzero coefficients above.

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha )$ with $\alpha$ an algebraic integer, let $m\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be its monic minimal polynomial of an algebraic element, and write $A=\mathbb{Z}[\alpha ]$. The Kummer-Dedekind theorem applies to a rational prime $p$ not dividing the finite index $[{\mathcal{O}}_K:A]$. Ifwith distinct monic irreducible polynomials $g_j$, choose monic integer lifts ${\tilde{g}}_j$. Then the distinct prime ideals above $p$ areIn particular, $p$ is unramified precisely when $\overline{m}$ has no repeated irreducible factor. The exclusion of primes dividing the index is essential.

Here is the quotient-ring proof of the Kummer-Dedekind theorem. The finite group ${\mathcal{O}}_K/A$ has order coprime to $p$. Localizing at the integers coprime to $p$ therefore gives $A\otimes {\mathbb{Z}}_{(p)}={\mathcal{O}}_K\otimes {\mathbb{Z}}_{(p)}$, and reduction yieldsThe second isomorphism follows from $A\simeq \mathbb{Z}[X]/(m)$. The Chinese remainder theorem givesEach factor is a local ring with unique maximal ideal generated by $g_j$ and residue field ${\mathbb{F}}_p[X]/(g_j)$. Pulling its maximal ideal back to ${\mathcal{O}}_K$ gives exactly ${\mathfrak{p}}_j$; these exhaust the primes above $p$. This proves the asserted residue degrees and their independence of the chosen lifts.

It remains to prove the exponents rather than simply identify the primes. Unique prime ideal factorization in the Dedekind domain ${\mathcal{O}}_K$ writes $(p)={\prod }_j{\mathfrak{p}}_j^{b_j}$. At ${\mathfrak{p}}_j$, its discrete valuation ring has $p=u{\pi }^{b_j}$, with $u$ a unit. Thus the maximal ideal of ${\mathcal{O}}_{K,{\mathfrak{p}}_j}/p{\mathcal{O}}_{K,{\mathfrak{p}}_j}$ has nilpotence index of an ideal $b_j$: its $b_j$th power is zero and its $(b_j-1)$st is nonzero. In ${\mathbb{F}}_p[X]/(g_j^{e_j})$ this index is $e_j$, since $g_j^{e_j}=0$ but $g_j^{e_j-1}\ne 0$. The displayed product isomorphism identifies these local factors, hence $b_j=e_j$. This completes the theorem's proof. The same local argument works over a base number field whenever ${\mathcal{O}}_K[\alpha ]$ equals the full relative ring of integers after localizing at the chosen base prime.

For the required cyclotomic field, the allowed ring of integers formula makes the index one. Its cyclotomic polynomial isFor $p\notin \{2,5\}$, the polynomial $X^{80}-1$ has derivative $80X^{79}$ coprime to it modulo $p$. Its divisor ${\overline{\Phi }}_{80}$ is therefore squarefree, so the Kummer-Dedekind theorem gives no ramification.

The cyclotomic reduction at a conductor prime is explicit at the remaining two primes:The quartic over ${\mathbb{F}}_2$ has no linear factor. Its only possible irreducible quadratic divisor would be $X^2+X+1$, whose roots have order three, whereas its own roots have order five. Hence it is irreducible. The two quartics over ${\mathbb{F}}_5$ are also irreducible: their roots have multiplicative order sixteen because their fourth powers are $2$ or $3$, both of order four; the finite-field Frobenius automorphism has orbit length four on an element of order sixteen, since $5^4\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}16)$ and neither $5$ nor $5^2$ is $1$ modulo sixteen.

Consequently the prime ideal factorization above $2$ has one prime with ramification index eight and residue degree four. Above $5$ it has two primes, each with ramification index four and residue degree four. In particular,

The rational approximation below is taken in lowest terms, $(a,q)=1$, with $1\le q\le Q$, and $X>0$. This is necessary for denominator-sensitive exponential sum estimates and for the final Ramanujan sum to equal $\mu (q)$. If $0<X<1$, the defining sum over $a\le X$ is empty and $S_4=0$; hence we may assume $1\le X<\sqrt{N}$.

Set $c_u={\sum }_{a\mid u,a\le X}\mu (a)$, so $|c_u|\le \tau (u)$, and write the given Vaughan identity term as the Type II sumUse a dyadic decomposition into $u\in (U,2U]$, $d\in (D,2D]$, retaining $ud\le N$. Empty blocks may be discarded; every remaining block has $U,D\ge X$, $UD<N$, and there are $O({\log }^2(2N))$ blocks. Denote a block by $T$. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality givesBy the allowed divisor-square summatory bound, the first factor is $O(U{\log }^3(2N))$. Expand the second factor. The diagonal $d_1=d_2$ contributes $O(UD{\log }^2(2N))$, using $0\le \Lambda (d)\le \log (2N)$. For a pair $d_1\ne d_2$, the allowed $u$ form the intervalThus the exponential geometric sum bound applies to this interval even though the original block has a hyperbolic cutoff. For each difference $h=|d_1-d_2|\le D$, there are $O(D)$ ordered pairs, giving an upper boundfor the expanded second factor, with an absolute constant $C$ accommodating integer endpoints. The supplied reciprocal fractional-part sum near a rational, with $M\asymp D$ and $R\asymp U$, bounds the last sum byOne may also derive this directly from the separated reciprocal-distance sum by splitting $h$ into blocks of length at most $q/2$; the approximation error between two block points is at most $1/(2q)$, and the rational rotations are separated by $1/q$.

Combining the estimates yieldsSince $UD<N$ and $U,D\ge X$, both $U,D\le N/X$. Taking square roots provesSumming the dyadic blocks establishes the rational-phase Type II estimate and, in particular, the requested bound with an explicit logarithmic power:

The Siegel–Walfisz theorem states that for fixed $A,C>0$, uniformly for $q\le (\log N{)}^A$ and $(b,q)=1$,The constant is allowed to be ineffective. Apply this with $C=A+B+2$ to the reduced residue classes. Their contribution to the prime exponential sum issince there are at most $q\le (\log N{)}^A$ residue classes. To evaluate the Ramanujan sum, the Möbius divisor-sum identity gives $1_{(b,q)=1}={\sum }_{d\mid (b,q)}\mu (d)$. Then the finite geometric series givesWhen $(a,q)=1$, only $m=1$ remains, giving $c_q(a)=\mu (q)$. The omitted nonunits contribute only prime powers $p^j$ with $p\mid q$. For each such prime, the sum of their Von Mangoldt function weights is at most $\log N$, so their total is at most $\omega (q)\log N=O_A(\log N\log \log (3N))$, absorbed by the stated error. This proves the major-arc value of the prime exponential sum:The original PDF does not state coprimality in this last request. Without it the asserted main term is genuinely false: $a=q=2$ makes $e(an/q)=1$ and hence ${\hat{\Lambda }}_N(a/q)=\psi (N)\sim N$, whereas $\mu (2)/\phi (2)=-1$. For an arbitrary numerator the correct main term is $N{c}_q(a)/\phi (q)$, with $c_q(a)$ given by the divisor formula above. Reducing the fraction before applying the boxed result is the equivalent repair.

Write $e(t)=\exp (2\pi it)$ and use $\Vert t\Vert$ for distance to the nearest integer. The Dirichlet approximation theorem, in its pigeonhole form, says that for every real $\alpha$ and integer $Q\ge 1$ there are coprime integers $a,q$ with $1\le q\le Q$ and $|\alpha -a/q|\le 1/(qQ)$. Indeed put the $Q+1$ fractional parts of $0,\alpha ,\dots ,Q\alpha$ into $Q$ equal intervals; two lie in the same interval. Their difference gives $|q\alpha -a|\le 1/Q$, and reducing the fraction preserves the claimed bound. This includes rational $\alpha$.

For $t\ge s$, the finite geometric series has length $L=t-s+1$. When $\theta \notin \mathbb{Z}$,The last inequality uses the concavity of sine on $[0,\pi /2]$. The triangle inequality also gives $L$. At integer $\theta$ the sum has absolute value $L$, interpreting the reciprocal as infinity. Thus the precise exponential geometric sum bound isThe interval must be nonempty; for $t<s$ its sum is zero and its length should be defined as $\max (0,t-s+1)$, rather than using a potentially negative bound.

For the separated points, assume $Q\ge 2$ and $\delta >0$. An arc of length $2r\le 1$ contains at most $1+2r/\delta$ of the points, by ordering them along the arc. Points with $\Vert {\theta }_i\Vert \le 1/Q$ contribute $O(Q+{\delta }^{-1})$. In the dyadic annulus $2^j/Q<\Vert {\theta }_i\Vert \le 2^{j+1}/Q$, each summand is $O(Q{2}^{-j})$ and there are at most $1+2^{j+2}/(Q\delta )$ points. There are $O(\log (2Q))$ nonempty annuli, giving the stronger separated reciprocal-distance sumIf there is only one point the bound is immediate; otherwise $\delta \le 1/2$. The printed $\log Q$ requires a lower bound away from $Q=1$; $\log (2Q)$ avoids that endpoint defect.

A useful version of the quadratic Weyl inequality is the following, with $(a,q)=1$, $1\le q\le Q$ and $|\alpha -a/q|\le 1/(qQ)$:For $N\ge 2$, expand the square of this quadratic exponential sum by $h=n-m$:The exponential geometric sum bound therefore gives $|S{|}^2\ll N+{\sum }_{h\le N}\min (N+1,\Vert 2\alpha h{\Vert }^{-1})$. For $q\ge 8$, partition these $h$ into blocks of length at most $\lfloor q/4\rfloor$. Two different points in one block have difference $d$ with $0<|d|<q/4$. The reduced denominator of $2a/q$ is at least $q/2$, so $\Vert 2ad/q\Vert \ge 1/q$, whileThus the rotations $2\alpha h$ are separated by at least $1/(2q)$ in each block. The separated reciprocal-distance sum bounds each block by $O(N+q\log (2N))$. There are $O(N/q+1)$ blocks, and henceFor $q<8$ or $N<2$, the trivial bound supplies the same assertion with an absolute constant. The same proof applies to ${\sum }_{n=1}^{N}e(\alpha n^2)$, whose difference sums also have interval endpoints.

We finally prove a polynomial rate of quantitative quadratic recurrence, without using the optional finite-group assumption. For $0<\epsilon \le 1/2$, use the periodic triangular bump $b(t)=(1-\Vert t\Vert /\epsilon {)}_{+}$. It is ${\epsilon }^{-1}$ times the periodic convolution of two interval indicators, and therefore has the nonnegative Fourier coefficientsIts Fourier series is absolutely convergent, ${\sum }_r\hat{b}(r)=b(0)=1$, and the coefficient tail is ${\sum }_{|r|>R}\hat{b}(r)\ll 1/(\epsilon R)$. Suppose that $\Vert \alpha n^2\Vert \ge \epsilon$ for every $1\le n\le N$. Then ${\sum }_{n}b(\alpha n^2)=0$. Choose $R=\lceil C{\epsilon }^{-2}\rceil$ with a sufficiently large absolute $C$, so that the contribution of frequencies $|r|>R$ has absolute value at most $N\epsilon /2$. The zero frequency contributes $N\epsilon$. Since all coefficients are nonnegative and their sum is one, some $1\le r\le R$ must satisfyApply the Dirichlet approximation theorem to $r\alpha$ with $Q=N$, obtaining a reduced $a/q$, $q\le N$. The quadratic Weyl inequality then impliesSet $\epsilon =N^{-1/8}$. For sufficiently large $N$, the $N\log (2N)$ term is absorbed on the left, giving $q\ll {\epsilon }^{-2}\log (2N)$. The integer $n=rq$ consequently satisfiesMoreover the approximating integer is $arq$, andThis contradicts the assumed avoidance. Increasing the absolute constant handles the finitely many smaller $N$, uniformly for every real $\alpha$. Thus

For $\Re s>1$, the Euler products areThe Dirichlet character is completely multiplicative, and unique prime factorization expands each finite product into the terms of the corresponding Dirichlet series supported on those primes. Absolute convergence permits passage to all primes. More strongly, the absolutely convergent Euler product logarithm givessince the sum of absolute values is bounded by ${\sum }_{n\ge 2}{\sum }_{m\ge 1}{n}^{-m\Re s}/m<\infty$.

We prove nonvanishing of a nonprincipal Dirichlet L-function at one, including real Dirichlet characters. If $\chi$ is nonprincipal modulo $q$, periodicity and the given Orthogonality of Dirichlet characters bound $A_{\chi }(x)={\sum }_{n\le x}\chi (n)$ by $q$. Partial summation giveswhich is holomorphic for $\Re s>0$ by locally uniform convergence, including after differentiation. The principal Dirichlet character instead haswith a simple pole at one.

For a nonreal Dirichlet character, consider $P(s)={\prod }_{\chi \mathrm{mod}q}L(s,\chi )$. For real $\sigma >1$, its Euler product logarithm isThe given character inversion with $a=1$ makes each inner sum either $\phi (q)$ or zero, so $P(\sigma )\ge 1$. If $L(1,\chi )=0$ for a nonreal Dirichlet character, then $L(1,\overline{\chi })=0$ as well, since their values at real $s$ are conjugate. These are two distinct factors. All nonprincipal factors are holomorphic at one, and only the principal factor has a simple pole. Their two zeros would force $P(\sigma )\to 0$, a contradiction.

For a real nonprincipal Dirichlet character, suppose $L(1,\chi )=0$. Then $G(s)=\zeta (s)L(s,\chi )$ is holomorphic throughout $\Re s>0$: the supplied continuation of the Riemann zeta function has no other pole there, and the zero cancels the pole at one. On $\Re s>1$ its Dirichlet series has coefficientsTo check the sign explicitly, for a prime power $p^j$ the local sum is $j+1$ if $\chi (p)=1$, is $1$ for even $j$ and $0$ for odd $j$ if $\chi (p)=-1$, and is $1$ if $\chi (p)=0$. Multiplication over prime factors proves nonnegativity and $g_{m^2}\ge 1$. Also $g_n\le \tau (n)$, so termwise derivatives at $s=2$ are justified by absolute convergence:The disc $|s-2|<2$ lies in $\Re s>0$. Its Taylor series therefore converges at $s=1/2$, and Tonelli theorem givesThis contradicts holomorphy at $1/2$. It is the positive-coefficient argument behind the Landau theorem for a Dirichlet series with nonnegative coefficients, proved here rather than invoked. Thus $L(1,\chi )\ne 0$ for every nonprincipal Dirichlet character.

It remains to detect the primes. For real $\sigma >1$, the Euler product logarithm satisfiesuniformly as $\sigma \downarrow 1$: terms with $m\ge 2$ are bounded in absolute value by ${\sum }_{n\ge 2}{\sum }_{m\ge 2}{n}^{-m}/m<\infty$. For a nonprincipal Dirichlet character, a holomorphic logarithm of $L$ exists near one by the nonvanishing just proved. On a short real interval it differs from the Euler product logarithm by a fixed multiple of $2\pi i$, so the prime sum stays bounded. For the principal Dirichlet character, the simple pole instead givesApplying the supplied Orthogonality of Dirichlet characters for a reduced residue class $a$ now yieldsThe right side tends to infinity, whereas a finite set of primes would give a bounded left side. Therefore every residue class coprime to $q$ contains infinitely many primes, proving the Dirichlet theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions.

Use the Fourier transform convention $\hat{m}(t)=\int e^{-itx}dm(x)$. The complex measure is finite because ${\sum }_n|f(n)|n^{-\sigma }<\infty$. The Möbius divisor-sum identity, proved in the preceding solution, allows multiplication of absolutely convergent Dirichlet series and givesHere $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. We prove the estimates in the intended range $1<\sigma \le 2$. A uniform estimate of the printed form for all $\sigma >1$ would be false: at $t=0$, $F(\sigma )\to 1$ as $\sigma \to \infty$, while its proposed upper bound tends to zero. A version valid for every $\sigma >1$ replaces $(\sigma -1{)}^{-3/4}$ by $1+(\sigma -1{)}^{-3/4}$.
