Newman's Short Proof of the Prime Number Theorem

Don Bernard Zagier

Open publisher page 82 citations

Abstract

This three-page article contains a complete proof of the prime number theorem, starting with the zeta series, and ending with \\it D. J. Newman's Tauberian theorem [Am. Math. Mon. 87, 693-696 (1980; Zbl 0444.10033)]. A shorter approach can hardly be imagined.
