what is the value of d/ds (integral(0,infinity) sin(s arctan t)/((1-t^2)(s/2) (e^(2pi t) -1)) dt) [closed]

I was reading about the Riemann zeta function and found the integral form of it ζ(s)= 1/(s-1) + 1/2 + 2(integral(0, infinity) sin(s arctan t)/((1-t^2)(s/2) (e^(2pi t) -1)) dt). When I was trying to ...

Periodic zeta function

Let $e(x)=e^{2\pi ix}$ and let $$F(x,s)=\sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac {e(nx)}{n^s}$$ be the periodic zeta function. What is the functional equation for the periodic zeta function ?: I can find a statement ...

Estimation of the absolute value of the $n$th non-real zero of the Riemann zeta function

Recently, I have been studying the oringinal proof of the prime number theory by Hadamard. I didn't get it on the estimation of the absolute value of the $n$th non-real zero of the $\zeta$ function by ...

Proper Way to Calculate Value of Riemann Zeta function?

I understand that an Analytic Continuation of a function will extend its domain into areas that it previously wasn't defined in. I've been looking at one of the Analytic Continuations of the Zeta ...

An infinite series of powers of fractions.

The series at hand is given by, $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{2k+1}{k (k+1)}\right)^s$$ I think it converges for $s>1$, but I have not been able to derive a general expression for this series. ...

Is there a useful/meaningful notion of a multi-variable L-function in number theory?

I recently encountered multi-variable generalizations of various classical zeta functions. For example, the multi-variable Riemann zeta function $$ \zeta(s_1, \ldots , s_r) := \sum_{0 < n_1 < \...

$|\zeta(1/2 + it)|^2 \geq \frac{\log(t)}{\log \log(t)}$

I've tried to solve this exercise for hours but I didn't managed to figure it out. Show that there exists a sequence $t \to \infty$ for which $$|\zeta (1/2 + it)|^2 \geq \frac{\log(t)}{\log\log(t)}$$ ...

For arithmetical periodic function $f$, if $\sum_{r=1}^k f(r)=0$, then $S=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^{s}}$ converges

[Introduction to Analytic Number Theory - Tom M. Apostol, chapter 12, question 1(b)] Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetical function which is periodic mod $k$. If $$\sum_{r=1}^k f(r)=0$$ then prove that the ...

"Mollifier" of the Dirichlet L-function

I was studying some zero-density results for $\zeta(s)$, mostly from Titchmarsh's book "The Theory of the Riemann zeta function", Chapter 9. In one place, as per the literature, a mollifier ...

Zeros of Riemann's $\xi(t)$

In Riemann's paper he defined $\xi(t)=\Pi(\frac{s}{2})(s-1)\pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\zeta(s)$, where $s=\frac{1}{2}+ti$. On page 4 he said: The number of roots of $\xi(t)=0$, whose real parts lie between $0$...

A question from Titchmarsh's book " The Theory of the Riemann zeta function, Theorem 9.16, page 231

I am studying about upper bounds for $N(\sigma, T)$ (zero-density estimates), and while going through Theorem 9.16 in Titchmarsh's book (2nd edition) (page 231), I got a bit stuck in understanding the ...

A few questions about Riemann's Main Formula in the paper On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude

Sorry for asking multiple questions these days about the same topic, but the thing is I was doing a school project about Riemann's zeta function so I kind of suffered when reading Riemann's paper On ...

Why do number theorists care so much about how well $\text{Li}(x)$ approximates $\pi(x)$ if it's not our best approximation?

An alleged primary motivator for the RH is so that we can bound the error term $|\text{Li}(x) - \pi(x)|$ by a factor of $O(\sqrt{x}\log x)$. However, I also learned about Riemann's explicit formula $R(...

modified riemann zeta function $\zeta ^*(s)$?

I remember there being a function $\zeta ^*(s)$ where $$\zeta ^*(s)=\zeta (s), \ s\neq 1$$ $$\zeta ^*(1)=\gamma$$ but now I can't seem to find any record of it, does a function like this exist or am I ...
