Theorem 10 in Ingham's book states that
has no zeros on the line = 1. Here
s = + ti. This is the proof:
Equation (13), p.17 is just
After proving the PNT, Ingham goes on to explain: "The above proof of the prime number theorem is based on the fact that
Equation (17), p. 18 is just
which follows from Abel's identity.
