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:
“Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
“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)
“No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
