An identity about Gamma and Riemann function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between the Gamma function, denoted as \(\Gamma(s) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x} x^{s-1} dx\), and the Riemann Zeta function, particularly through the lens of Mellin transforms. It is established that every factor of the Riemann Zeta function can be derived from a Mellin transform of the form \(\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) x^{s-1} dx = (1 - p^{-s})^{-1}\), where \(f(x)\) is a specific distribution. Additionally, the Gamma function is noted to satisfy a reflection formula connecting 's' and '1-s', further emphasizing its significance in analytic number theory.

we know that \Gamma (s)= \int_{0}^{\infty}dxe^{-x}x^{s-1}

however every factor of the Riemann Zeta can be obtained also from a Mellin transform

\int_{0}^{\infty}dxf(x)x^{s-1} =(1-p^{-s})^{-1}

where f(x) is the distribution

\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x \delta (x-p^{-n})

is there any connection between Gamma and Riemann Zeta function i mean ,appart from appearing on the functional equation, also the Gamma function satisfy a relfection formula relating 's' and '1-s'
