Estimating complex integral
$begingroup$
I am reading chapter 12 of "Lectures on the Riemann Zeta function" by H. Iwaniec.
I am stuck at understanding the computation done at the beginning of page 45.
We want to estimate the following integral
$$
I_1(s)=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)y^{-w}zeta(1-s-w) ,dw
$$
where $(-1/4)$ should denote the vertical line at $text{Re}(w)=-1/4$ and $s=1/2+it$. He says that to compute this we have to move the integration to the line $text{Re}(w)=-3/4$ and then expand $zeta(1-s-w)$ into its Dirichlet series, interchange the summation and integration to eventually get
$$
I_1(s)=-sum_n n^{s-1}e^{-n/y}
$$
Here are my doubts
- When we move the line of integration from $text{Re}(w)=-1/4$ to $text{Re}(w)=-3/4$ don't we pass through the pole of $zeta$ at $w=-s$? What about the residue?
- Once we expand $zeta$ into its Dirichlet series and interchange the summation and integral we are left with computing
$$
sum_n n^{s-1}frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-3/4)}Gamma(w)left(frac{y}{n}right)^{-w},dw
$$
I know that
$$
e^{-y}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)left(yright)^{-w},dw
$$
for all c>0. So the difference between the two should be given by the residue of $Gamma(w)y^{-w}$ at $w=1$, that is 1. But what they claim is that we pick a minus sign.
I am surely overlooking something but I cannot figure out what. I really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

That's the end. Then he just uses this result together with other estimates to prove a proposition. Basically I want to prove that $-sum_n n^{s-1}e^{-n/y}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)y^{-w}zeta(1-s-w)dw$.

For $c > 0,y > 0$ $$e^{-y}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)y^{-w},dw$$ you can see it from the residue theorem (summing over the poles at negative integers and showing $lim_{a to -infty}frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(a)}Gamma(w)left(yright)^{-w},dw = 0$)
or from the inverse Fourier/Laplace/Mellin transform of $Gamma(w) = int_0^infty y^{w-1} e^{-y}dy=int_{-infty}^infty e^{-uw} e^{-e^{-u}}du$ given $e^{-uc} e^{-e^{-u}}$ is Schwartz thus so is $Gamma(c+it)$.
Thus for $Re(s) < 0,-Re(s) > c > 0$ as everything converges absolutely $$sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} left(y/nright)^{-w},dw=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw$$
When $Re(s) < 0$ and shifting the contour to the left, $zeta(1-s-w)$ stays bounded and $Gamma(w)$ stays fast decreasing (because $Gamma(w+1) =w Gamma(w)$ and $Gamma(w)$ is Schwartz-fast decreasing on vertical lines for $Re(w)>0$)
so there is no fear to say for $Re(s) < 0,-Re(s) > c > 0$
$$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw\= frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw-text{Res}_{w=0}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})\=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}-zeta(1-s)$$
- What happens for $Re(s) < 0, c > -Re(s)$ ? Even if $zeta(1-s-w)$ isn't bounded $Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)$ stays fast decreasing. So there is just to add the residue at $w=-s$ giving
$$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw\=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw-text{Res}_{w=0}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})-text{Res}_{w=-s}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})$$
- What happens for $Re(s) > 0$ ? Something similar holds except that you'll need to regularize $F_y(s)=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}$, for example $sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1) = F_y(s)-zeta(1-s)$ for $Re(s)in (0,1),y > 0$ and hence $$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1)$$

@asd $y$ non-real makes obviously a difference as then $y^{-w}$ isn't bounded on vertical lines. So you need to look at the Stirling approximation to see if $Gamma(w)y^{-w}$ is fast decreasing or not. If it is, everything works the same way.

so there is no fear to say for $Re(s) < 0,-Re(s) > c > 0$
$$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw\= frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw-text{Res}_{w=0}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})\=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}-zeta(1-s)$$
- What happens for $Re(s) < 0, c > -Re(s)$ ? Even if $zeta(1-s-w)$ isn't bounded $Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)$ stays fast decreasing. So there is just to add the residue at $w=-s$ giving
$$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw\=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw-text{Res}_{w=0}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})-text{Res}_{w=-s}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})$$
- What happens for $Re(s) > 0$ ? Something similar holds except that you'll need to regularize $F_y(s)=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}$, for example $sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1) = F_y(s)-zeta(1-s)$ for $Re(s)in (0,1),y > 0$ and hence $$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1)$$
$endgroup$
For $c > 0,y > 0$ $$e^{-y}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)y^{-w},dw$$ you can see it from the residue theorem (summing over the poles at negative integers and showing $lim_{a to -infty}frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(a)}Gamma(w)left(yright)^{-w},dw = 0$)
or from the inverse Fourier/Laplace/Mellin transform of $Gamma(w) = int_0^infty y^{w-1} e^{-y}dy=int_{-infty}^infty e^{-uw} e^{-e^{-u}}du$ given $e^{-uc} e^{-e^{-u}}$ is Schwartz thus so is $Gamma(c+it)$.
Thus for $Re(s) < 0,-Re(s) > c > 0$ as everything converges absolutely $$sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} left(y/nright)^{-w},dw=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw$$
When $Re(s) < 0$ and shifting the contour to the left, $zeta(1-s-w)$ stays bounded and $Gamma(w)$ stays fast decreasing (because $Gamma(w+1) =w Gamma(w)$ and $Gamma(w)$ is Schwartz-fast decreasing on vertical lines for $Re(w)>0$)
so there is no fear to say for $Re(s) < 0,-Re(s) > c > 0$
$$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw\= frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(c)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw-text{Res}_{w=0}(Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w})\=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} e^{-y/n}-zeta(1-s)$$

I don't know how I can prove that $sum_{ninmathbb{N}}n^{s-1}(e^{-y/n}-1)=-sum_{ninmathbb{N}}n^{s-1}e^{-n/y}$ for $Re(s)=1/2$.

Actually the $y$ in the Proposition I have to prove is given by $y=frac{2pi}{sqrt{s(1-s)}}$. Does it make any difference?

$begingroup$
@asd $y$ non-real makes obviously a difference as then $y^{-w}$ isn't bounded on vertical lines. So you need to look at the Stirling approximation to see if $Gamma(w)y^{-w}$ is fast decreasing or not. If it is, everything works the same way.

What is the estimate you are trying to get in the end?

That's the end. Then he just uses this result together with other estimates to prove a proposition. Basically I want to prove that $-sum_n n^{s-1}e^{-n/y}=frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)y^{-w}zeta(1-s-w)dw$.
