Abstract

Branched covering Riemann surfaces (C,f)(\mathbb{C},f) are studied, where ff is the Euler Gamma function and the Riemann Zeta function. For both of them fundamental domains are found and the group of covering transformations is revealed. In order to find fundamental domains, pre-images of the real axis are taken and a thorough study of their geometry is performed. The technique of simultaneous continuation, introduced by the authors in previous papers, is used for this purpose. Color visualization of the conformal mapping of the complex plane by these functions is used for a better understanding of the theory. For the Riemann Zeta function the outstanding question of the multiplicity of its zeros, as well as of the zeros of its derivative is answered.
