Abstract
We attach a certain matrix to the Dirichlet series . We study the determinant, characteristic polynomial, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of these matrices. The determinant of can be understood as a weighted sum of the first coefficients of the Dirichlet series . We give an interpretation of the partial sum of a Dirichlet series as a product of eigenvalues. In a special case, the determinant of is the sum of the M\"obius function. We disprove a conjecture of Barrett and Jarvis regarding the eigenvalues of .
