Let \(\zeta(s)\) be the Riemann zeta-function and define the half zeta function for \(\text{Re}(s)> 1\) by \[ \zeta_+(s)= \prod_{\text{Im}(\rho)> 0} (\rho- s), \] where the product is a zeta-regularized product and it runs over all zeros of \(\zeta\) with positive imaginary part. The content of the paper is to show the existence of half zeta-functions for the Riemann and Selberg zeta-functions, i.e. the existence of the regularized product, which is a nontrivial matter. Implicitly, this fact has in the past been used by several authors to give regularized product expansions of zeta-functions. The authors also introduce the multiple half zeta-function \[ \zeta^{\otimes r}_+(s)= \prod_{\text{Im}(\rho_i)> 0} (\rho_1+\cdots+ \rho_r- s) \] and show its existence. This latter construction is supposed to correspond to the product of motives.
