Estimating complex integral












2












$begingroup$


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




  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  • 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 $$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1)$$

    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.

  • 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 $$frac{1}{2pi i}int_{(-1/4)}Gamma(w)zeta(1-s-w)y^{-w},dw=sum_{n=1}^infty n^{s-1} (e^{-y/n}-1)$$
