Theorem
Let $\zeta$ be the Riemann zeta function.
Let $\eta$ be the Dirichlet Eta Function.
Then:
- $\dfrac 1 {1 - 2^{1 - s} } \map \eta s$
defines an analytic continuation of $\zeta$ to the half-plane $\map \Re s > 0$ minus $s = 1$.
Proof
By Riemann Zeta Function in terms of Dirichlet Eta Function, it coincides with $\zeta$ for $\map \Re s > 1$.
By Dirichlet Eta Function is Analytic, it is analytic for $\map \Re s > 0$, except at $s = 1$.
