Abstract

We report on some properties of the ξ(s)\xi(s) function and its value on the critical line, Ξ(t)=ξ(12+it)\Xi(t)=\xi\left(\tfrac{1}{2}+it\right). First, we present some identities that hold for the log derivatives of a holomorphic function. We then re-examine Hadamard's product-form representation of the ξ(s)\xi(s) function, and present a simple proof of the horizontal monotonicity of the modulus of ξ(s)\xi(s). We then show that the Ξ(t)\Xi(t) function can be interpreted as the autocorrelation function of a weakly stationary random process, whose power spectral function S(ω)S(\omega) and Ξ(t)\Xi(t) form a Fourier transform pair. We then show that ξ(s)\xi(s) can be formally written as the Fourier transform of S(ω)S(\omega) into the complex domain τ=tiλ\tau=t-i\lambda, where s=σ+it=12+λ+its=\sigma+it=\tfrac{1}{2}+\lambda+it. We then show that the function S1(ω)S_1(\omega) studied by P\'{o}lya has g(s)g(s) as its Fourier transform, where ξ(s)=g(s)ζ(s)\xi(s)=g(s)\zeta(s). Finally we discuss the properties of the function g(s)g(s), including its relationships to Riemann-Siegel's ϑ(t)\vartheta(t) function, Hardy's Z-function, Gram's law and the Riemann-Siegel asymptotic formula.
