Abstract

Gabcke proved a new integral expression for the auxiliary Riemann function R(s)=2s/2πs/2eπi(s1)/41212eπiu2/2+πiu2icosπuU(s12,2πeπi/4u)du,\mathop{\mathcal R}(s)=2^{s/2}\pi^{s/2}e^{\pi i(s-1)/4}\int_{-\frac12\searrow\frac12} \frac{e^{-\pi i u^2/2+\pi i u}}{2i\cos\pi u}U(s-\tfrac12,\sqrt{2\pi}e^{\pi i/4}u)\,du, where U(ν,z)U(\nu,z) is the usual parabolic cylinder function. We give a new, shorter proof, which avoids the use of the Mordell integral. And we write it in the form \begin{equation}\mathop{\mathcal R}(s)=-2^s \pi^{s/2}e^{\pi i s/4}\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{-\pi x^2}H_{-s}(x\sqrt{\pi})}{1+e^{-2\pi\omega x}}\,dx.\end{equation} where Hν(z)H_\nu(z) is the generalized Hermite polynomial.
