Explicit Formula

The so-called explicit formula


gives an explicit relation between prime numbers and Riemann zeta function zeros for x > 1 and x not a prime or prime power. Here, is the summatory Mangoldt function (also known as the second Chebyshev function), and the second sum is over all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function , i.e., those in the critical strip so (Montgomery 2001).
