Several identities for the Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) are proved. For example, if s = σ + it and σ > 0, then ∞ −∞ (1 − 2 1−s)ζ(s) s 2 dt = π σ (1 − 2 1−2σ)ζ(2σ). Let as usual ζ(s) = ∞ n=1 n −s (ℜe s > 1) denote the Riemann zeta-function. The motivation for this note is the quest to evaluate explicitly integrals of |ζ(1 2 + it)| 2k , k ∈ N, weighted by suitable functions. In particular, the prob...

It is proved that the Riemann zeta function does not satisfy any nontrivial algebraic difference equation whose coefficients are meromor-phic functions φ with Nevanlinna characteristic satisfying T (r, φ) = o(r) as r → ∞.

The series is convergent when s is a complex number with <(s) > 1. Some special values of ζ(s) are well known, for example the values ζ(2) = π/6, ζ(4) = π/90, were obtained by Euler. In 1859, Riemann had the idea to define ζ(s) for all complex number s by analytic continuation. This continuation is very important in number theory and plays a central role in the study of the distribution of prim...

In this paper, we obtain several expansions for ζ(s) involving a sequence of polynomials in s, denoted by αk(s). These polynomials can be regarded as a generalization of Stirling numbers of the first kind and our identities extend some series expansions for the zeta function that are known for integer values of s. The expansions also give a different approach to the analytic continuation of the...

The history of problems of evaluation of series associated with the Riemann Zeta function can be traced back to Christian Goldbach (1690–1764) and Leonhard Euler (1707–1783). Many di¤erent techniques to evaluate various series involving the Zeta and related functions have since then been developed. The authors show how elegantly certain families of series involving the Zeta function can be eval...

In this chapter, we will see a proof of the analytic continuation of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) and the Dirichlet L function L(s, χ) via the Hurwitz zeta function. This then gives rise to a functional equation for ζ(s) and a direct computation for the value of this function at negative integer points. 1. The Hurwitz zeta function We have already seen the definition of the Riemann zeta funct...

In this paper we propose a quantum gauge system from which we construct generalized Wilson loops which will be as quantum knots. From quantum knots we give a classification table of knots where knots are one-to-one assigned with an integer such that prime knots are bijectively assigned with prime numbers and the prime number 2 corresponds to the trefoil knot. Then by considering the quantum kno...

Riemann’s way to calculate his zeta function on the critical line was based on an application of his saddle-point technique for approximating integrals that seems astonishing even today. His contour integral for the remainder in the Dirichlet series for the zeta function involved not an isolated saddle, nor a saddle near a pole or an end-point or several coalescing saddles, but the configuratio...

A number of authors have considered mean values of powers of the modulus of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s, a), see [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. In this paper, the mean of the function itself is considered. First a functional equation relating the Riemann zeta function to sums of the values of the Hurwitz zeta function at rational values of a is derived. This functional equation underlies the vanishing of t...

This paper begins with a re-examination of the Riemann-Siegel Integral, which first discovered amongst by Bessel-Hagen in 1926 and expanded upon by C. L. Siegel on his 1932 account of Riemann’s unpublished work on the zeta function. By application of standard asymptotic methods for integral estimation, and the use of certain approximations pertaining to special functions, it proves possible to ...
