The Mellin transform of powers of the zeta-function

From MaRDI portal





This paper proves a number of results concerning the Mellin transform \[ Z_k(s)= \int_1^\infty |\zeta(1/2+ it)|^{2k} x^{-s}\,dx. \] For \(k=1\) it is shown that there is a meromorphic continuation to the half-plane \(\sigma> -3/4\). In this region the function \(Z_1(s)\) is regular except for a double pole at \(s=1\). Moreover one has \[ Z_1(\sigma+it)\ll_\varepsilon t^{1-\sigma+ \varepsilon}, \quad 0\leq \sigma\leq 1,\;t\geq 1, \] and \[ \int_1^T |Z_1(\sigma+it) |^2\, dt \ll_\varepsilon \begin{cases} T^{3-4\sigma+ \varepsilon}, &0\leq \sigma\leq 1/2,\\ T^{2-2\sigma+ \varepsilon}, &1/2\leq \sigma\leq 1. \end{cases} \] Similarly, the function \(Z_2(s)\) has a meromorphic continuation to the half-plane \(\sigma>-1/2\), and is of polynomial growth away from neighbourhoods of the poles. In the region \(1/2< \sigma< 1\) one has \[ Z_2(\sigma+it) \ll_\varepsilon t^{2-2\sigma} (\log t)^{18-14\sigma}, \quad t\geq 2, \] and \[ \int_1^T |Z_2(\sigma+it) |^2\,dt\ll T^{(10-8\sigma)/3} (\log T)^C, \quad T\geq 2. \] Finally, if \(E_2(t)\) is the error term in the fourth power moment estimate for \(|\zeta (1/2+it)|\), and \(w\) is a suitable weight function, it is shown that \[ \int_T^{2T} |\zeta(1/2+it)|^8\, dt\ll \int_{T^{1/2}}^{T^{1+\varepsilon}} t^2|G(1/2+ it)|^2\, dt+ T(\log T)^C, \] where \[ G(s)= \int_0^\infty w(x/T) E_2(x) x^{s-1}\, dx. \]
