    Product
In summary, the conversation discusses the product \prod_{\sigma}(1-s/\sigma)e^{s/\sigma}=g(s) and how taking logarithms to both sides leads to the definition of the function M(x). The speaker then asks how the same method can be applied to the product \prod_p(1-p^{-s}) to obtain an integral equation for M(x). The conversation also mentions the importance of the Riemann hypothesis in relation to the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann function and the validity of product and series expansions for the zeta function.

let be the product:

[tex] \prod_{\sigma}(1-s/\sigma)e^{s/\sigma}=g(s) [/tex] where the product is over the non-trivial zeroes of Riemann function

then we take Logarithms to both sides so we have the equality:

[tex]Lng(s)=\sum_{\sigma}Ln(1-s/\sigma)+s/\sigma [/tex]

then we define the function M(x) in the way that gives the number of non trivial zeroes of riemann function up to x so how could we obtain using the same method that is applied to the product


[tex] \prod_p(1-p^{-s}) [/tex] ot get the integral equation for M(x)?...

this can be useful as if Riemann hypothesis is true we will have that M(z) is only non zero when Re(z)=1/2

several things spring to mind.
namely the product series expansion of the zeta function isn't valid when Re(s)=1/2 nad even if it were we know there are other zeroes to the zeta function, the riemann hypothesis only being abotu those that lie in the critical strip (the so called non-trivial ones)

why is not valid?...

you do know the series and product expansions converge for Re(s)>1 (i hope I'm right on this one, the summation certainly only is valid for Re(s)>1), thuogh it depends on which expansion you use.



[tex]\prod_p(1-p^{-s})[/tex]

exists iff

[tex]\sum_p -p^{-s}[/tex]

exists which is iff Re(s)>1
 

1. How do we define an integral equation for M(x)?

To define an integral equation for M(x), we first need to understand what an integral equation is. An integral equation is an equation that involves an unknown function within an integral. In this case, we are interested in finding an integral equation for the function M(x).

2. What is the purpose of obtaining an integral equation for M(x)?

The purpose of obtaining an integral equation for M(x) is to solve for the unknown function M(x) in terms of known functions and constants. This can be useful in solving differential equations, modeling physical systems, and analyzing different mathematical problems.

3. How do we obtain an integral equation for M(x)?

There are a few different methods for obtaining an integral equation for M(x), depending on the specifics of the problem. One common method is to use the method of variation of parameters, which involves rewriting a given differential equation into an equivalent integral equation. Other methods may include using Green's functions or Laplace transforms.

4. Can we always obtain an integral equation for M(x)?

No, it is not always possible to obtain an integral equation for M(x) in every situation. Some differential equations may not have an equivalent integral equation, and some problems may not require the use of an integral equation to solve. However, in many cases, an integral equation can provide a more concise and elegant solution to a problem.

Integral equations for M(x) have a wide range of applications in various fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics. They can be used to model physical systems, solve boundary value problems, and analyze the behavior of complex systems. They also have important applications in signal processing, image processing, and data analysis.
