We prove that the abscissas of Bohr and Rogosinski for ordinary Dirichlet series, mapping the right half-plane into the bounded convex domain G ⊂ C are independent of the domain G. Furthermore, we obtain new estimates about these abscissas. 1. Preliminaries Let us recall the theorem of H.Bohr [19] in 1914. Theorem 1.1. If a power series

Only three dimensions exist in the Universe, as most humans have long suspected, with the exception of mathematicians and physicists. Albert Einstein at one point approached this realization but geometry prevented his making the logical connections necessary to understand this basic principle. Today mathematicians and physicists fantasize about eleven, fifty – six and two hundred and fifty – si...
