HBP | Main | 1.1 • Mittag–Leffler for Helson Zeta via Blur
Authors/Creators
Description
We prove a Helson-type factorization on $\{\Re s>1\}$ by a purely blur/Fourier argument: if $f$ is continuous on $\{\Re s\ge 1\}$ and analytic on $\{\Re s>1\}$, then
\[
f(s)= -\,\frac{\zeta'_\chi}{\zeta_\chi}(s) + g(s)\qquad(\Re s>1),
\]
for some Helson zeta $\zeta_\chi(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1}\chi(n)n^{-s}$ with completely multiplicative unimodular $\chi$ and an entire $g$. As in the Mittag-Leffler paradigm, we obtain prescribed zero/pole patterns for Helson zetas on domains containing $\{\Re s>1\}$. The novelty is quantitative: we avoid short-interval prime estimates by (i) matching the target under a \emph{multiplicative Gaussian blur} on the Mellin side using only PNT at relative scale, and (ii) deblurring via a time--frequency sampling principle for Gaussians.
