Mar 26, 2020 at 0:31 comment added GH from MO @SylvainJULIEN: I think there are plenty of continuous and non-continuous functions from $\mathbb{C}$ to $\mathbb{C}$ that commute with $\zeta$. On the other hand, there probably very few holomorphic of meromorphic functions that commute with $\zeta$. At any rate, I stop here a this site is not a discussion board, and also these questions appear to be pretty random (they have little to do with $\zeta$).
Mar 26, 2020 at 0:19 comment added Sylvain JULIEN But do these functions commute with $\zeta$?
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:52 comment added GH from MO @SylvainJULIEN: There are also plenty of continuous functions from $\mathbb{C}$ to $\mathbb{C}$ that permute the zeros of $\zeta(s)$, not just the identity and complex conjugation.
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:49 comment added Sylvain JULIEN And as a permutation is bijective, if $P$ is continuous, it is either the identity or the complex conjugation.
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:48 comment added GH from MO @SylvainJULIEN: My intuition is that there are plenty of non-continuous functions commuting with $\zeta$, but I don't want to think about it.
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:47 comment added GH from MO @zeraouliarafik: If $P(\zeta(s))=\zeta(P(s))$ holds at infinitely many distinct points $(s_1,s_2,\dots)$ with a limit point in $\mathbb{C}$, then it also holds for all complex $s\neq 1$ by the uniqueness of analytic continuation. Hence we infer $P(1)=1$ as before.
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:42 comment added Sylvain JULIEN @zeraoulia rafik: with $s$ in the critical strip, you get that if $z$ is a non trivial zero of $\zeta$, then $P(\zeta(z))=\zeta(P(z))=P(0)$. As this equality doesn't depend on the zero, it means $P$ is a permutation of the multiset of the non trivial zeros of $\zeta$ and thus $P(0)=0$.
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:34 comment added zeraoulia rafik @GH from MO , would be the same simple proof with s lie in the critical strip ?
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:32 comment added zeraoulia rafik @SylvainJULIEN, nice idea probably you meant uses of Voronin's universality to show any commuting complex function to R zeta function must be continious
Mar 25, 2020 at 23:29 comment added Sylvain JULIEN Can your argument be used to show that any complex function commuting to $\zeta$ is necessarily continuous?
