it is true in general that the sum (density of states for a physicst)

[tex] \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \delta (x- \gamma _{n}) [/tex]

is related to the value [tex] \frac{ \zeta '(1/2+is)}{\zeta (1/2+is)}+\frac{ \zeta '(1/2-is)}{\zeta (1/2-is)} [/tex]

here the 'gamma' are the imaginary parts of the non-trivial zeros of Riemann zeta function

Hi,
I think the problem is not well-defined, the first part is a functional and the second a function. Please, be more especific. But I guess there is some relation like this.
 

FAQ: Identity of Zeta function

What is the Zeta function?

The Zeta function, denoted as ζ(s), is a mathematical function that has a variety of applications in number theory, physics, and other areas of mathematics. It is defined for all complex numbers except 1, and its value at s=1 is infinity.

Who discovered the Zeta function?

The Zeta function was first introduced by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 18th century. However, it was later extensively studied and expanded upon by other mathematicians such as Bernhard Riemann, who gave a comprehensive understanding of its properties.

What is the significance of the Zeta function?

The Zeta function has many important applications in mathematics, such as the study of prime numbers, the distribution of prime numbers, and the Riemann Hypothesis. It also has connections to other areas of mathematics, such as complex analysis and algebraic geometry.

How is the Zeta function calculated?

The Zeta function can be expressed as an infinite series or an integral, and there are various methods for calculating its values at different points. These include the Euler-Maclaurin formula, the Riemann-Siegel formula, and the functional equation of the Zeta function.

What is the importance of the identity of the Zeta function?

The identity of the Zeta function, also known as the functional equation, is a fundamental property that relates the values of the Zeta function at different points and allows for its extension to the entire complex plane. It is also crucial in the study of the Riemann Hypothesis and other properties of the Zeta function.
