A simple proof of Ramanujans formula for the Fourier transform of the square of the modulus of the Gamma function restricted to a vertical line in the right half-plane is given. The result is extended to vertical lines in the left half-plane by solving an inhomogeneous ODE. We then use it to calculate the jump across the imaginary axis.
We prove that if f and g are holomorphic functions on an open connected domain, with the same moduli on two intersecting segments, then f = g up to the multiplication of a unimodular constant, provided the segments make an angle that is an irrational multiple of $pi$. We also prove that if f and g are functions in the Nevanlinna class, and if |f | = |g| on the unit circle and on a circle inside the unit disc, then f = g up to the multiplication of a unimodular constant.
In this note, we aim to provide generalizations of (i) Knuths old sum (or Reed Dawson identity) and (ii) Riordans identity using a hypergeometric series approach.
In this paper, we rewrite two forms of an Euler-Ramanujan identity in terms of certain Dirichlet series and derive functional equation of the latter. We also use the Weierstrass-Enneper representation of minimal surfaces to obtain some identities involving these Dirichlet series and one complex parameter.
In this note, we look at some of the less explored aspects of the gamma function. We provide a new proof of Eulers reflection formula and discuss its significance in the theory of special functions. We also discuss a result of Landau concerning the determination of values of the gamma function using functional identities. We show that his result is sharp and extend it to complex arguments. In 1848, Oskar Schlomilch gave an interesting additive analogue of the duplication formula. We prove a generalized version of this formula using the theory of hypergeometric functions.
Using Bochner-Martinelli type residual currents we prove some generalizations of Jacobis Residue Formula, which allow proper polynomial maps to have `common zeroes at infinity, in projective or toric situations.
