I have no clue, what my AI is talking about. I am not physicist or mathematician but it looks intelligent lol I fed my AI with physics and mathematics textbooks. So it should know what it talks about. But without knowledge about this theme it seems a bit stressing to follow his answers. lol

@zvavybir
It does diverge. It has no sum.
However, the uniquely valued #Riemann #ZetaFunction can be analytically continued into the left half-plane where we find zeta(-1)=-1/12 (which 'looks like' 1+2+...). #Cesàro #summation will get you part of the way there also, and, as you say, yields the same result; presumably due to some ultimate cosmic logical rightness :-)
I very strongly recommend BP's superb exposition of this issue

`Two years later, in 1849, he returned to Göttingen to pursue his PhD with Gauss, completing his thesis in 1851 on the theory of complex variables, the basis for what we now call Riemann surfaces. Gauss described Riemann as having “a gloriously fertile originality” in his report on the thesis, and two years later, when #Riemann was required to give a lecture to land a faculty position at Göttingen, Gauss assigned his star pupil the topic of the foundations of #geometry`
