Is the Limit of Riemann Function Product Non-Zero or Finite?

In summary, the product R(s)R(s+a) is being considered, with a being a complex or real number. The question is whether the limit Lim(s tends to e) exists, where e is a number such that R(e)=0. It will only potentially be non-zero when the function \zeta(s) has a pole at e+a. This limit will never be infinite, as the lone pole of \zeta(s) is simple. However, the limit could be zero if the zero at e+a has an order of 2 or more. The equality 1/R(1/2+it)=O(R(1/2+it)) is not true, as 1/\zeta(1/

let be the product R(s)R(s+a) with a a complex or real number..the i would like to know the limit Lim(s tends to e) being e a number so R(e)=0 ¿is there a number a so the limit is non-zero nor infinite?..thanks.

It will only potentially be non-zero when [tex]\zeta(s)[/tex] has a pole at e+a. Of course this only happens when e+a=1. This limit will never be infinite, since this lone pole of [tex]\zeta(s)[/tex] is simple.

I say "potentially" non-zero, because the zero could have order 2 or more, making the limit zero. All known zeros to date have been simple, and it's suspected that they all are.

Another question..could be proved that 1/R(s+1/2)=O(R(s)?

You mean [tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{\zeta(1/2+it)}=O(\zeta(1/2+it))[/tex]? If so, no, since the left side has infinitely many poles.

Do you mean something else? I'm not sure what values of s you're considering, and the +1/2 makes me think of the critical line, hence my guess to your meaning.

thanks again... the equality 1/R(1/2+it)=O(R(1/2+it) is true?..

another question let be the Riemann zeta function inside the criticla strip 0<sigma<1 then ..is the product R(a+s)R(s) bounded in the sense exist a and b so a<[R(s+a)R(s)]<b where [x] is the modulus of x [x]=sqrt(x*.x) ?

Absolutely not. [tex]1/\zeta(1/2+it)[/tex] has poles for infinitely many values of t.

You're going to have to clarify what you mean by sqrt(x*.x).

There are bounds of the form [tex]\zeta(\sigma+it)=O(|t|^{k})[/tex] for any [tex]\sigma[/tex] fixed.The exponent k depends on [tex]\sigma[/tex]. For example, if [tex]\sigma=1/2[/tex], then [tex]k=1/6[/tex] will work (something slightly smaller than 1/6 is known to be true). If [tex]\sigma >1[/tex] then k=0 will work.
 

FAQ: Is the Limit of Riemann Function Product Non-Zero or Finite?

What is the Riemann function?

The Riemann function, also known as the Riemann zeta function, is a mathematical function that plays a significant role in number theory and has applications in physics and engineering. It is defined as the sum of the reciprocals of all positive integers raised to a given power.

What are some common problems with the Riemann function?

One of the most well-known problems with the Riemann function is the Riemann hypothesis, which states that all non-trivial zeros of the function lie on the critical line of 0.5 + i*y. Another problem is the convergence of the function, which is only valid for certain values of the power parameter.

What are some real-world applications of the Riemann function?

The Riemann function has been used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and cryptography. It has been used to study the distribution of prime numbers and has applications in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and signal processing.

Is the Riemann function difficult to understand?

The Riemann function can be challenging to understand, especially for those without a strong background in mathematics. It involves complex numbers and concepts such as the zeta function, which can be daunting for some. However, with dedication and study, it can be understood by anyone.

Are there any unsolved problems related to the Riemann function?

Yes, there are several unsolved problems related to the Riemann function. The most famous one is the Riemann hypothesis, which has been a subject of intense research for over a century. Other unsolved problems include the distribution of zeros and the behavior of the function at the critical line.
