Dedekind zeta function
Let be a number field with ring of integers . Then the Dedekind zeta function of is the analytic continuation of the following series:
where ranges over non-zero ideals of , and is the norm of .
This converges for , and has a meromorphic continuation to the whole plane, with a simple pole![]()
at , and no others.
The Dedekind zeta function has an Euler product![]()
expansion,
where ranges over prime ideals![]()
of . The Dedekind zeta function of is just the Riemann zeta function
