A Riemann–von Mangoldt-Type Formula for the Distribution of Beurling Primes

Abstract

In this paper we work out a Riemann–von Mangoldt type formula for the summatory function := , where is an arithmetical semigroup (a Beurling generalized system of integers) and is the corresponding von Mangoldt function attaining with a prime element and zero otherwise. On the way towards this formula, we prove explicit estimates on the Beurling zeta function , belonging to , to the number of zeroes of in various regions, in particular within the critical strip where the analytic continuation exists, and to the magnitude of the logarithmic derivative of , under the sole additional assumption that Knopfmacher’s Axiom A is satisfied. We also construct a technically useful broken line contour to which the technic of integral transformation can be well applied. The whole work serves as a first step towards a further study of the distribution of zeros of the Beurling zeta function, providing appropriate zero density and zero clustering estimates, to be presented in the continuation of this paper.
