Questions tagged [riemann-zeta-function]
The Riemann zeta function is the function of one complex variable $s$ defined by the series $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1}{n^s}$ when $\operatorname{Re}(s)>1$. It admits a meromorphic continuation to $\mathbb{C}$ with only a simple pole at $1$. This function satisfies a functional equation relating the values at $s$ and $1-s$. This is the most simple example of an $L$-function and a central object of number theory.

Let $T_0\geq 20$. Let $L$ be the half-line from $-\infty + i T$ to (say) $-1/2 + i T$. Since $|\zeta(s)|$ is roughly proportional to $(T/2 \pi e)^\sigma$ for $s=\sigma+ i T$ on $L$, it is clear that ...
