Title: THE WIENER-IKEHARA TAUBERIAN THEOREM REVISITED

Abstract: The celebrated Wiener-Ikehara Tauberian theorem is a versatile result used in analytic number theory to produce "instant asymptotic formulas" simply from knowing analytic continuation of associated Dirichlet series. We will give a new proof of this result using Fourier analysis. Our method also produces an error term which the classical approach does not. This is joint work with Jagannath Sahoo and Akshaa Vatwani at IIT Gandhinagar.
