In mathematics, a Barnes zeta function is a generalization of the Riemann zeta function introduced by E. W. Barnes (1901). It is further generalized by the Shintani zeta function.

Definition

edit

The Barnes zeta function is defined by

 

where w and aj have positive real part and s has real part greater than N.

It has a meromorphic continuation to all complex s, whose only singularities are simple poles at s = 1, 2, ..., N. For N = w = a1 = 1 it is the Riemann zeta function.
