How to prove Riemann Zeta series is symmetric about real axis, $\zeta(\sigma+it)=\zeta(\sigma-it)$?

137 Views Asked by At

For $s=\sigma+it$, the Riemann Zeta series

$$\zeta(s)=\sum \frac{1}{n^s}$$

valid for $\sigma>1$, and the extended version

$$\zeta(s)=\frac{1}{1-2^{1-s}}\sum\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n^{s}}$$

valid for $\sigma>0$, and both symmetric about the real axis.

That is, $\zeta(\sigma+it)=\zeta(\sigma-it)$.

Question: How can I prove the functions are symmetric about the real-axis, that is, $\zeta(\sigma+it)=\zeta(\sigma-it)$


Note - the suggested question doesn't answer this question sufficiently clearly: Is Riemann Zeta Function symmetrical about the real axis?
