An Euler product is a way to represent a Dirichlet series as an infinite product over prime numbers.

Examples of Euler products

Theorem

The following formula holds for $\mathrm{Re}(z)>1$: $$\zeta(z)=\displaystyle\prod_{p \mathrm{\hspace{2pt} prime}} \dfrac{1}{1-p^{-z}},$$ where $\zeta$ denotes Riemann zeta.
