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 ...

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 ...
