Abstract

Given a sequence of frequencies {λn}n1\{\lambda_n\}_{n\geq1}, a corresponding generalized Dirichlet series is of the form f(s)=n1aneλnsf(s)=\sum_{n\geq 1}a_ne^{-\lambda_ns}. We are interested in multiplicatively generated systems, where each number eλne^{\lambda_n} arises as a finite product of some given numbers {qn}n1\{q_n\}_{n\geq 1}, 1<qn1 < q_n \to \infty, referred to as Beurling primes. In the classical case, where λn=logn\lambda_n = \log n, Bohr's theorem holds: if ff converges somewhere and has an analytic extension which is bounded in a half-plane {s>θ}\{\Re s> \theta\}, then it actually converges uniformly in every half-plane {s>θ+ε}\{\Re s> \theta+\varepsilon\}, ε>0\varepsilon>0. We prove, under very mild conditions, that given a sequence of Beurling primes, a small perturbation yields another sequence of primes such that the corresponding Beurling integers satisfy Bohr's condition, and therefore the theorem. Applying our technique in conjunction with a probabilistic method, we find a system of Beurling primes for which both Bohr's theorem and the Riemann hypothesis are valid. This provides a counterexample to a conjecture of H. Helson concerning outer functions in Hardy spaces of generalized Dirichlet series.
