SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the validity of using integral equality to solve for real values in complex integrals, specifically examining the expression involving integrals of the form \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dxf(x)x^{a}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x+y)y^{ib}=0\). The conclusion drawn is that if \((1-a, -b)\) is also a zero, then \(a\) must equal \(1/2\), with no other solutions existing. However, the validity of this reasoning is challenged, questioning the assumptions made about the equality of integrals and the treatment of variables involved.

Integral equality...

let be a and b real numbers..and let be the integral...

[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dxf(x)x^{a}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x+y)y^{ib}=0[/tex] so if this is zero also will be its conjugate:

[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dxf(x)x^{a}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x+y)y^{-ib}=0[/tex] now let,s suppose we would have that (1-a,-b) is also a zero so:

[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dxf(x)x^{1-a}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}g(x+y)y^{-ib}=0[/tex] then my conclusion is that 1-a=a a=1/2 and there is no other solution.. :biggrin: :zzz: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

You've *somehow* decided that if your integrals are equal then x must have the same exponent? I don't even know where to begin with what's wrong here, but by your logic shouldn't the same be true for y then, so b=0? Please, tell me this is a joke.

Have you been reading some of the horrible "proofs" of the Riemann Hypothesis you find online? This looks awfully familiar.
 
Are you integrating over y in the second integral? x? A nonexistent variable?
