17. Bernoulli sequence and Riemann zeta function

From the previous article1, considering that the integration section starts from $1$, it appears that $\Delta e^{-px}$ should be corrected to a form such as $\Delta ((x-1)/(e^{p(x-1)}-1))$. Reference point2 must has the finite value. Logarithmic function, $\ln x$, has the value when $x=1$, not $x=0$. This also explains that the Riemann zeta function is also related to the Bernoulli sequence. Therefore, $\zeta(s)$ can be modified as follows.3

 

(1) $\zeta(s)=\int x^{s-2}(\frac{1-g(x)}{e^{g(x)}-1} - \frac{g(x)}{(e^{g(x)}-1)^2})dx, g(x)=p(1/x-1), |x| \leq 1$

 

The reason the integration section is made smaller than $1$ is to make integration easier.

 

If $\zeta(s)=\sum a_m(s-s_0)^m$ ($m$: natural number), $a_m$ can be expressed by the polynomials of $x$ before the integration from $0$ to $1$ like $a_m(x)=\sum b_n x^n$. Then, integral form of $\zeta(s)$ is $\int{a_m(x)(s-s_0)^m}dx$ and though the integral value is different, the root of $\zeta(s)=0$ is same as $s_0$ in both equations.

[Comparison with a well-known integral form of Riemann zeta function. 20204.02.21]

 

There is another well-known form of Riemann zeta function as

 

$$\zeta(s)\Gamma(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx$$

 

An example of the derivation of this equation is as follows.

 

$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx= \int_{0}^{\infty}x^{s-1}(e^{-x}+e^{-2x}+ e^{-3x}+...)dx$$

$$=\zeta(s)\int_{0}^{\infty}x^{s-1}e^{-x}dx=\zeta(s)\Gamma(s)$$

 

The integration interval of the Riemann zeta function must be from 1 to $\infty$, or 0 to 1, not from 0 to $\infty$. And Considering $x^{s-1}$ represents $1/n^s$, $x^{s-1}$ must be replaced with $x^{-s+1}$. Based on these two facts, we can infer that $x/(e^x-1)$ should be changed to $(x-1)/(e^{p(x-1)}-1)$. If the $p$ value is not assumed, the exponential form of $\pi$, which is the sum of the zeta function, does not appear.


1. Refer to Riemann zeta function and quantum mechanics.

2. The more precise mathematical definition of this term seems necessary. This also implies that it is possible that if $\sum (1/n) = \int(f(x)/\ln x)dx$, $\sum (1/n^s) =\int(f(x)/(\ln x)^s)dx$ regardless of $s$. The significance of the Bernoulli sequence is that the Riemann hypothesis can be approached more analytically by expressing seemingly irregular prime numbers as known functions.
