Abstract
Open-access reader
In this note we examine Littlewood's proof of the prime number theorem. We show that this can be extended to provide an equivalence between the prime number theorem and the non-vanishing of Riemann's zeta-function on the one-line. Our approach goes through the theory of almost periodic functions and is self-contained.
