On meromorphic continuation of zeta function(s) and special values at negative integers

Euler developped (at least) two different approaches in order to calculate the values $\zeta(-m)$ of the zeta function $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n\geq 1} \frac{1}{n^s}$$ at non-positive integers. In one ...

non-trivial zeros of partial zeta functions

Let $N,a\in\mathbf{Z}_{\geq 1}$. Define a partial $\zeta$-function as $$ \zeta(s;N,a):=\sum_{\substack{n\geq 1\newline n\equiv a\pmod{N}}} \frac{1}{n^s} $$ where $Re(s)>1$. Let $\omega$ be either ...

Derivative of the Riemann zeta function at $z=-2$

I have a question regarding the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function. It is known that $\zeta'(-1)=\frac{1}{12}-\ln A$, where $A$ is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (which is an elegant ...

Zeta function associated with a function $f$

Let the function $f(t) = \cos(at)$, where ($0 < a < 1$). Let us define $$\zeta(z, f) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(z)} \int_0^{+\infty} \frac{t^{z-1}\cos(at)}{e^t-1}\, dt. $$ Is there a general formula that ...

computing a certain contour integral [closed]

I want to compute an integral along a vertical line segment. The function I'm integrating involves the zeta-function, and usually the way such integrals are done treats the line segment as one side ...

Analytic extension of the Hurwitz ζ function

For the purpose of formalisation in a theorem prover, I am looking for a simple definition of the analytic extension of the Hurwitz ζ function $\zeta(s,q)$ valid for all $s\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{1\}$ ...

Residue calculation for Eulerian expansion of the cotangent

I am looking for ideas on proving the Eulerian expansion of the cotangent using residue calculation: $$\pi\cot(\pi z)=\frac{1}{z}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{z+n}+\frac{1}{z-n}\right), \ z\in\...

On integral relating logarithm of absolute value of Zeta function

Sorry for such a direct question: Consider the following integral: $$I(t)=\int_{1/2}^{1} {\log|\zeta(a+it)|}da.$$ How to find the nature of $I(t)$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$?

When is $\Re(\zeta(s)) - \Im(\zeta(s)) = 0 $ with $\Re(\zeta(s))\neq 0$ and $\Im(\zeta(s))\neq 0$? [closed]

When is $\Re(\zeta(s)) - \Im(\zeta(s)) = 0 $ for $0<\Re(s)<1$. Here $\zeta$ denotes the Reimann zeta function. Does the solution live on a vertical line? Or is this another coincidence when both ...

Is the real part of the Eta function bounded by $2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\dfrac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{\alpha}}} $ [closed]

Consider the series defined by \begin{equation} f(\alpha,\beta) := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\dfrac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{\alpha}}\cos(\beta\ln(n))} \end{equation} is it true that $$f(\alpha,\beta) \le 2\sum_{n=1}...
