Is Riemann zeta function injective in some strips $a<\Re(s)<b$, where $0\leq a<b \leq 1$?

Or more generally, are L-functions injective in some strips $a<\Re(s)<b$, where $0\leq a<b \leq 1$?

Has the Weierstass transform been used to give Hermite series representations of the Riemann zeta function?

The inverse of the Weierstrass transform expands a function as a series of Hermite polynomials $H_{n}$. There are several ways to invert the Weierstrass transform which led me to the following ...

$\zeta^{(k)}(s) < 0$ for $s\in (0,1)$

A bit of plotting suggests that $\zeta^{(k)}(s) < 0$ for all $s\in (0,1)$ and all integers $k\geq 0$. (Or, what is the same: $\zeta^{(k)}(s)$ has no zeroes on $(0,1)$.) Is there a brief, clean ...
