Line of Symmetry of the Zeta Function












0












$begingroup$


I heard once that 0.5 is the line of symmetry of the Riemann Zeta Function. What does that mean? A graph illustrating would be helpful.

    It means that values with $Re(s)<1/2$ are fixed by the values with $Re(s)>1/2$ due to the functional equation.

    So for example zeta(0.6+14i) is equal to zeta(0.4+14i)?

    The symmetry comes more into light using the $Xi$ function which is an even function.
