riemann zeta functionnoun(number theory, analytic number theory, uncountable) The function ζ defined by the Dirichlet series ζ(s)=∑ₙ₌₁ ᪲1/(nˢ)=1/(1ˢ)+1/(2ˢ)+1/(3ˢ)+1/(4ˢ)+⋯, which is summable for points s in the complex half-plane with real part > 1; the analytic continuation of said function, being a holomorphic function defined on the complex numbers with pole at 1.
