Power series and analytic continuation

Radius of convergence, the identity theorem, and extending ζ(s) beyond its series.

A holomorphic function equals its Taylor series on the largest disc avoiding singularities. Two holomorphic functions agreeing on a small set agree everywhere they are both defined, so a function can be extended uniquely, which is how ζ(s) exists at s = −1 (and equals −1/12). Picture it: the geometric series 1/(1 − x) converging inside |x| < 1, though the function lives everywhere except x = 1. Think it: this rigidity is the engine of the Riemann Hypothesis page.

Taylor series of 1/(1 - x)

\frac{1}{1 - x}

Hatua kwa hatua

  1. f(x) = \frac{1}{1 - x}

    Taylor series about x = 0: f(x) = Σ fᵏ(x₀)/k! · (x − x₀)ᵏ.

  2. f^{(0)}(0) = \frac{1}{1 - x}\big|_{x=0} = 1

    Derivative 0 at the centre.

  3. f^{(1)}(0) = \frac{1}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}}\big|_{x=0} = 1

    Derivative 1 at the centre.

  4. f^{(2)}(0) = - \frac{2}{\left(x - 1\right)^{3}}\big|_{x=0} = 2

    Derivative 2 at the centre.

  5. f^{(3)}(0) = \frac{6}{\left(x - 1\right)^{4}}\big|_{x=0} = 6

    Derivative 3 at the centre.

  6. f^{(4)}(0) = - \frac{24}{\left(x - 1\right)^{5}}\big|_{x=0} = 24

    Derivative 4 at the centre.

  7. f^{(5)}(0) = \frac{120}{\left(x - 1\right)^{6}}\big|_{x=0} = 120

    Derivative 5 at the centre.

  8. x^{5} + x^{4} + x^{3} + x^{2} + x + 1

    Assemble the terms up to degree 5.

Lafunua jibu
x^{5} + x^{4} + x^{3} + x^{2} + x + 1 + O((x-0)^{6})

Why is complex differentiability so much stronger than real?

The limit must be the same from every direction in the plane, not just two. That forces the Cauchy-Riemann equations, which in turn force infinitely many derivatives and a convergent Taylor series.

What is a residue?

The coefficient of 1/(z − a) in the Laurent series at a singularity a. The residue theorem says a contour integral equals 2πi times the sum of the residues inside, which evaluates many real integrals in one line.
