A Reformulation of the Riemann Hypothesis

Abstract

We present some novelties on the Riemann zeta function. Using an extended formula created for the polylogarithm in a previous paper, ${\mathrm{Li}}_k(e^z)$, the zeta function's Dirichlet series is analytically continued from $\Re (k)>1$ to the right half-plane, $\Re (k)>0$, by means of the Dirichlet eta function. More strikingly, we offer a reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis through a zeta's cousin, $\ddot{I}†(k)$, a pole-free function defined on the entire complex plane whose non-trivial zeros coincide with those of the zeta function.

Added an actually valid proof, improved the text and fixed some minor inaccuracies
