Abel summation for norm-indexed summatory functions #
Mathlib's sum_mul_eq_sub_sub_integral_mul is Abel summation for a sequence indexed by the natural
numbers. Every counting argument of the arithmetic-Dirichlet-series roadmap instead sums a weight
over a carrier indexed by ideals or by height-one primes, cut off inclusively by the absolute norm.
This file supplies the bridge: the weight is regrouped into its norm fibres, Mathlib's identity is
applied to the resulting sequence, and the answer is read back as an equation between
TauCeti.summatory functions.
The bridge is stated for a general Northcott index N : ι → ℕ, because Layer 6 uses it for both
the ideal carrier and the prime carrier. The integral runs over the half-open interval Set.Ioc,
so each boundary term is counted exactly once, as the roadmap's conventions table demands.

Roadmap role #
This is Layer 6.1 of TauCetiRoadmap/ArithmeticDirichletSeries/README.md: Mathlib's exact
finite identity is consumed, not restated, and only the norm-indexed bridges are added. The two
prime identities are the finite input to Layer 6.2, which turns ϑ(x) ∼ δx into π(x) ∼ δ Li(x)
by estimating the integrals appearing here.

Regrouping a weight into its norm fibres #
Abel summation over a Northcott carrier #
Abel summation for a norm-indexed summatory function. For a weight w on the index type
and a function g differentiable on [a, b], the summatory function of the twisted weight
i ↦ w i * g (N i) between the inclusive cutoffs a and b is the boundary term
g b · A(b) - g a · A(a) minus the integral of g' · A, where A = summatory N w.
This is Mathlib's sum_mul_eq_sub_sub_integral_mul read through the norm fibres of N.
Abel summation from a real cutoff a for a carrier all of whose indices have N-value at
least a. The boundary term at a cancels, because there the twisted weight is g a times the
untwisted one.
The identity holds for every cutoff b: below a all three terms vanish.
A summatory function, multiplied by a factor integrable on a compact interval of nonnegative cutoffs, is integrable there.
Imaginary-power twists #
An imaginary-power Abel bound. Suppose every index has N-value at least 1, and the
partial sums of w are bounded by C * t ^ θ on [1, x] for a positive exponent θ. Twisting
the weight by (N i) ^ (-z) with Re z = 0 preserves that exponent, at the cost of the explicit
factor 1 + ‖z‖ / θ.
One-sided bounds for twisted sums #
A one-sided Abel bound. Let every index have N-value at least the cutoff a ≥ 0, and
let g be nonincreasing on [a, x] with 0 ≤ g x. If the summatory function of a real weight w
is at most C at every cutoff in [a, x], then the summatory function at x of the twisted weight
i ↦ w i * g (N i) is at most C * g a.
No sign condition is imposed on w or on C: only the partial sums of w are controlled.
A one-sided Abel bound for the full series. Let every index have N-value at least the
cutoff a ≥ 0. If the summatory function of a real weight w is at most C at every cutoff
t ≥ a, and g is nonnegative and nonincreasing on [a, ∞), then the sum of the summable twisted
family i ↦ w i * g (N i) is at most C * g a.
The ideal and prime carriers of a number field #
Abel summation over the nonzero ideals of 𝓞 K, from the cutoff 1.
An imaginary norm-power twist preserves a positive power bound for partial sums over the nonzero ideals of a number field.
Abel summation over the height-one primes of 𝓞 K, from the cutoff 2.
Chebyshev's ϑ from π. The logarithmically weighted prime count is recovered from the
unweighted one by Abel summation, with the inclusive cutoff and the half-open integration range
fixed by the roadmap's conventions.
Chebyshev's π from ϑ. The unweighted prime count is recovered from the logarithmically
weighted one by Abel summation. This is the finite identity whose two terms Layer 6.2 estimates
in order to turn ϑ(x) ∼ δx into π(x) ∼ δ Li(x).
