Integral Representations of Three Novel Multiple Zeta Functions for Barnes Type: A Probabilistic Approach

Abstract

Integral representation is one of the powerful tools for studying analytic continuation of the zeta functions. It is known that Hurwitz zeta function generalizes the famous Riemann zeta function which plays an important role in analytic number theory. They both have several multiple versions in the literature. In this paper, we introduce three novel multiple zeta functions for Barnes type and study their integral representations through hyperbolic probability distributions given by Pitman and Yor(Canad. J. Math., 55 (2003), 292--330). The analytically continued properties of the three multiple zeta functions are also investigated. The first one generalizes the well-known Barnes multiple zeta function, while the second and the third, unlike the previous results, can extend analytically to entire functions in the whole complex plane. These are somewhat surprising results.
