Definition
The Riemann ξ function is given by
where ζ is the Riemann zeta function. Consider the sequence
Li's criterion is then the statement that
- the Riemann hypothesis is completely equivalent to the statement that for every positive integer n.
The numbers may also be expressed in terms of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function:
![\lambda_n=\sum_{\rho} \left[1-
\left(1-\frac{1}{\rho}\right)^n\right]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/5/3/c/53c989545cbb61055031c11698511747.png)
where the sum extends over ρ, the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function. This conditionally convergent sum should be understood in the sense that is usually used in number theory, namely, that

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
“It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
