Convergence of P-Series/Divergence if p between 0 and 1

Theorem
Let $p$ be a complex number. Let $0 < \map \Re p \le 1$.

Then the $p$-series:
 * $\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty n^{-p}$

diverges.

Lemma
Hence, the convergence of the $p$-series is dependent on the convergence of:


 * $\ds \lim_{t \mathop \to \infty} \frac {t^{1 - x} } {1 - x}$

Suppose $0 < x < 1$.

Then:

The special case of $x = 1$ is covered by Integral of Reciprocal is Divergent.

Hence the result from the Integral Test.
