Theta Function - Relation To The Riemann Zeta Function

Relation To The Riemann Zeta Function

The relation

was used by Riemann to prove the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function, by means of the integral

\Gamma\left(\frac{s}{2}\right) \pi^{-s/2} \zeta(s) = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^\infty\left t^{s/2}\frac{dt}{t}

which can be shown to be invariant under substitution of s by 1 − s. The corresponding integral for z not zero is given in the article on the Hurwitz zeta function.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to the, relation to, relation and/or function:

    “It would be disingenuous, however, not to point out that some things are considered as morally certain, that is, as having sufficient certainty for application to ordinary life, even though they may be uncertain in relation to the absolute power of God.”
    —René Descartes (1596–1650)

    “Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    “It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.”
    —Robert H. [Houghwout] Jackson (1892–1954)
