A Necessary Condition for a Nontrivial Zero of the Riemann Zeta Function via the Polylogarithmic Function

(2012-05-02)

We provide a new series expansion of the polylogarithm of complex argument $\Li_{s}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n^{s}}$. From the new series, we define a new entire function $Z(s,x)$ which is related to $\Li_{s}(x)$ but processes several advantages over the initial polylogarithmic series. For example, the limit of $Z(s,x)$ when $x\to 1$ is convergent to $(s-1)\zeta(s)$ for all complex numbers $s$ while le limit of $\Li_{s}(x)$ converges only when $\re(s)>1$. As an application of the expansion of $Z(s,x)$, we derive of a necessary condition for a non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function.
