In this article, we shall prove a result which enables us to transfer from finite to infinite Euler products. As an example, we give two new proofs of the infinite product for the sine function depending on certain decompositions. We shall then prove some equivalent expressions for the functional equation, i.e. the partial fraction expansion and the integral expression involving the generating function for Bernoulli numbers. The equivalence of the infinite product for the sine functions and the partial fraction expansion for the hyperbolic cotangent function leads to a new proof of the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function.

As automorphic L-functions or Artin L-functions, several classes of L-functions have Euler products and functional equations. In this paper we study the zeros of L-functions which have Euler products and functional equations. We show that there exists a relation between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and the zeros of such L-functions. As a special case of our results, we find relations between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and the zeros of automorphic L-functions attached to elliptic modular forms or the zeros of Rankin–Selberg L-functions attached to two elliptic modular forms.

International audience We give a new proof that the Riemann zeta function is nonzero in the half-plane {s ∈ C : σ > 1}. A novel feature of this proof is that it makes no use of the Euler product for ζ(s).

The generalised zeta-function ζ(s, α) is defined bywhere α>0 and Res>l. Clearly, ζ(s, 1)=, where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann zeta-function. In this paper we consider a general class of Dirichlet series satisfying a functional equation similar to that of ζ(s). If ø(s) is such a series, we analogously define ø(s, α). We shall derive a representation for ø(s, α) which will be valid in the entire complex s-plane. From this representation we determine some simple properties of ø(s, α).

AbstractFor an arbitrary complex number $$a\ne 0$$ a ≠ 0 we consider the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta-function $$\zeta $$ ζ at the a-points of the function $$\Delta $$ Δ which appears in the functional equation $$\zeta (s)=\Delta (s)\zeta (1-s)$$ ζ ( s ) = Δ ( s ) ζ ( 1 - s ) . These a-points $$\delta _a$$ δ a are clustered around the critical line $$1/2+i\mathbb {R}$$ 1 / 2 + i R which happens to be a Julia line for the essential singularity of $$\zeta $$ ζ at infinity. We observe a remarkable average behaviour for the sequence of values $$\zeta (\delta _a)$$ ζ ( δ a ) .
