calculus - Conditional convergence of Riemann's zeta's series

Do Riemann's zeta-function's partial sums
Nn=1ns converge conditionally for some value s=σ+it with σ1? (We must at least have t0 of course.)



Partial summation does not work because cos(tlogn) does not have bounded sums, but I wonder if perhaps at least for σ=1 and some t0 we may have convergence.



1st Edit: I insist that I am not interested in absolute convergence, which I understand. I really want to know if enough cancellation occurs in the complex powers n1+it, t0 for the ordered sequence of partial sums to converge—i.e. for the series to converge conditionally.



I guess that this issue may be related to elementary estimates used to prove the prime number theorem (like those of Erdős and Selberg)—even if none implies conditional convergence.




2nd Edit: To recap, conditional convergence at σ of a Dirichlet series n1anns, with real an implies no pole on the real half-line at the right of σ so the abscissa of absolute and conditional convergence of the Dirichlet series representations (which is unique, a nontrivial result) for Riemann's ζ are the same, 1, i.e. the series does not converge conditionally for σ<1.



I will also mention that the Dirichlet series n1(1)nns has abscissa of conditional convergence 0 (therefore no pole at the right of 0), and dividing it by 21s1 we obtain ζ(s), so this is close to a Dirichlet series evaluation of ζ—which are known not to be practical computationally.



I could find interesting results in Tenenbaum's book on analytic number theory. I guess I will have to look at the heavy weight references, specialized on Riemann's zeta-function.



The case of σ=1 and t0 is still unsettled in the answers to this question, and in my mind.



3rd Edit: This question on mathoverflow seems to address exactly my question:

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/84097/divergence-of-dirichlet-series



The conclusion, there, is that the series diverges also for t0. This may be related to the existence of unbounded functions with bounded mean oscillation, like logt.



I'll read more about that and think about it.
