Is $intlimits_0^inftyfrac{sin y}{y^{s+1}}dy=-Gamma(-s)sin(frac{pi s}{2})$ for $operatorname{Re}(s)in (-1,0)$...
$begingroup$
This is a part of computation in Titchmash, Theories of Zeta Functions which I do not find obvious but there is no explanation. I did figure out the computation.
$$int_0^inftyfrac{sin(y)}{y^{s+1}}dy=-Gamma(-s)sinleft(frac{pi s}{2}right)$$
Q: There is no explanation in the book for this step. Why is this obvious without explanation? My recipe goes as the following. It suffices to restrict to real axis part with $sin (-1,0)$ region. Now integral is real valued in this region. Here I need $Gamma(-s)=frac{Gamma(-s+1)}{s}$ extension to obtain real valuedness. Consider the integral as the imaginary part of $int_0^{iinfty} frac{e^{z}}{i^s z^{s+1}}dz$ where I have already rotated axis by $i$ multiplication. Now to obtain $Gamma$ function, close contour from $(+infty,0)$ axis portion and connect to $(0,iinfty)$ portion. Then close the contour by arc. The arc contour contribution is $0$ via exponential suppresion. Then apply residue theorem easily as the whole thing is holomorphic by $sin (-1,0)$ region. Hence equality follows. This is not $1-2$ line naive computation though not hard. However, it did take me a while to figure out.

I realised this question has been asked before as you can see here. Anyway I will write down my solution here again. First of all consider Ramanuajan's Master Theorem.
Ramanujan's Master Theorem
Let $f(x)$ be an analytic function with a MacLaurin Expansion of the form
$$f(x)=sum_{k=0}^{infty}frac{phi(k)}{k!}(-x)^k$$then the Mellin Transform of this function is given by
$$int_0^{infty}x^{p-1}f(x)dx=Gamma(p)phi(-p)$$
In order to use this Theorem we may expand the sine function as a series followed by the substitution $y^2=t$ which yields to
$$begin{align*}
mathfrak{I}=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sin(y)dy&=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{y^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}dy\
&=frac12int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-y^2)^n[2ydy]\
&=frac12int_0^infty t^{-(s+1)/2}sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-t)^ndt
end{align*}$$
Now we can use Ramanuajan's Master Theorem by setting $p=-frac{s-1}2$ and $phi(n)=frac{n!}{(2n+1)!}=frac{Gamma(n+1)}{Gamma(2(n+1))}$ and so we get
$$begin{align*}
mathfrak{I}=frac12int_0^infty t^{-(s+1)/2}sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-t)^ndt&=frac12Gammaleft(-frac{s-1}2right)frac{Gammaleft(1+frac{s-1}2right)}{Gammaleft(2left(frac{s-1}2+1right)right)}\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}Gammaleft(frac{s+1}2right)Gammaleft(-frac{s-1}2right)tag1\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}frac{pi}{sinleft(pifrac{s+1}2right)}\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}frac{pi}{cosleft(frac{pi s}2right)}\
&=frac{pi}{Gamma(s+1)}frac{sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)}{2sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)cosleft(frac{pi s}2right)}\
&=-sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)frac{pi}{Gamma(s+1)sin(pi(s+1))}tag2\
&=-sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)Gamma(-s)
end{align*}$$
$$therefore~mathfrak{I}=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sin(y)dy~=~-Gamma(-s)sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)$$
For the simplification of the final solution we excessively used Euler's Reflection Formula which is a key property of the Gamma Function. Within line $(1)$ we applied the formula for $z=frac{s+1}2$ and within line $(2)$ for $z=s+1$. The trigonometric reshaping utilized the double-angle formula as well as the periodic property of the sine function.

I'd say most of the book relies heavily on the same kind of derivation : complex analysis, change of variable, change of contour, recognizing famous integrals, restricting to domains where everything is easier then extending by continuity/analyticity.
For $Re(s) < 0$ and $Re(e^a) >0$ then $$int_0^infty t^{-s-1} e^{-e^a t}dt = int_0^{e^{overline{a}}infty} (e^{-a }u)^{-s-1} e^{-u}d(e^{-a}u)
=e^{a s}int_0^{e^{overline{a}}infty}+int_{e^{overline{a}}infty}^infty u^{-s-1} e^{-u}du= e^{a s} Gamma(-s)$$
For $Re(s) in (-1,0)$ and $a =b+ ipi/2$ then $$2iint_0^infty t^{-s-1} sin(t) dt = lim_{b to 0^+} int_0^infty t^{-s-1} (e^{-e^{b+ipi/2} t}-e^{-e^{b-ipi/2} t})dt = lim_{b to 0^+}(e^{s(b+ipi/2) }-e^{s(b-ipi/2)}) Gamma(-s)= 2i sin(pi s/2)Gamma(-s)$$
And $int_0^infty t^{-s-1} sin(t) dt =sin(pi s/2)Gamma(-s)$ stays true for $Re(s) in(-1,1)$ by analytic continuation
Note a similar derivation with $int_0^infty t^{s-1} log(1-e^{-t})dt$ yields the functional equation for $zeta(s)$, as $Im(log(1-e^{4i pi t})) = 2ipi t - 2ipilfloor t rfloor$

Yes, then, and now, such computations are eminently "standard" in certain circles... even if completely unknown to a more general mathematical community.

I thought it might be instructive to present an approach that uses Laplace Transforms, an integral representation of the Beta Function, the relationship between the Beta Function and Gamma Function, and Euler's Reflection Formula for the Gamma Function. To that end we now proceed.
Let $f(x)=sin(x)$ and $g(x)=frac{1}{x^{s+1}}$. Then, the Laplace Transform of $f$ is
$$mathscr{L}{f}(x)=frac{1}{x^2+1}tag1$$
and for $text{Re}(s)in(-1,0)$, the inverse Laplace Transform of $g$ is
$$mathscr{L}^{-1}{g}(x)=frac{x^s}{Gamma(s+1)}tag2$$
Using $(1)$ and $(2)$ we see that
$$begin{align}
int_0^infty frac{sin(y)}{y^{s+1}},dy&=frac1{Gamma(s+1)}int_0^infty frac{x^s}{x^2+1},dx\\
&=frac{1}{2Gamma(s+1)}int_0^infty frac{x^{(s-1)/2}}{1+x},dx\\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}Bleft(frac{1+s}{2},frac{1-s}{2}right)\
&=frac{Gammaleft(frac{1+s}{2}right)Gammaleft(frac{1-s}{2}right)}{2Gamma(s+1)}\\
&=frac{frac{pi}{cos(pi s/2)}}{2frac{pi}{Gamma(-s)sin(pi(s+1))}}\\
&=-Gamma(-s)sin(pi s/2)
end{align}$$
as expected!

For $0<Re(s)<1$, we have
$$
int^{infty}_{0}sin(t)t^{s-1}dt=-operatorname{Im}left(int^{infty}_{0}e^{-it}t^{s-1}dtright)=-operatorname{Im}left((-i)^{s}int^{infty i}_{0 i}e^{-z}z^{s-1}dzright)=
$$
$$
-operatorname{Im}left(e^{-ipi s/2}Gamma(s)right)=sinleft(frac{pi s}{2}right)Gamma(s).
$$
About the question below, it have to be proved that
$$
int^{iinfty}_{0}e^{-z}z^{s-1}dz=Gamma(s),
$$
when $Re(s)in(0,1)$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Out of curiosity: How does the given integral equals the Gamma Function? So far I only has seen the definition $$Gamma(s)=int_0^infty t^{s-1}e^{-t}dt$$ but I do not know how one could justify that $$Gamma(s)stackrel{?}{=}int_0^{color{red}{i}infty} t^{s-1}e^{-t}dt$$ Has it something to do with the fact that you are only taking the imaginary part? Could you explain this detail to me?

I guess it is right like this. Consider the substitution $z=it$. Hence $t$ is the new variable we have to change the borders aswell and thus we get $t_b=frac zi=frac{i0}i=0$ and $t_t=frac zi=frac{iinfty}i=infty$ if I am not mistaken. However, I cannot tell how the factor $e^{-ipi s/2}$ is gained by Mathematica.

mathfrak{I}=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sin(y)dy&=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{y^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}dy\
&=frac12int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-y^2)^n[2ydy]\
&=frac12int_0^infty t^{-(s+1)/2}sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-t)^ndt
end{align*}$$
Now we can use Ramanuajan's Master Theorem by setting $p=-frac{s-1}2$ and $phi(n)=frac{n!}{(2n+1)!}=frac{Gamma(n+1)}{Gamma(2(n+1))}$ and so we get
$$begin{align*}
mathfrak{I}=frac12int_0^infty t^{-(s+1)/2}sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-t)^ndt&=frac12Gammaleft(-frac{s-1}2right)frac{Gammaleft(1+frac{s-1}2right)}{Gammaleft(2left(frac{s-1}2+1right)right)}\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}Gammaleft(frac{s+1}2right)Gammaleft(-frac{s-1}2right)tag1\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}frac{pi}{sinleft(pifrac{s+1}2right)}\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}frac{pi}{cosleft(frac{pi s}2right)}\
&=frac{pi}{Gamma(s+1)}frac{sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)}{2sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)cosleft(frac{pi s}2right)}\
&=-sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)frac{pi}{Gamma(s+1)sin(pi(s+1))}tag2\
&=-sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)Gamma(-s)
end{align*}$$
$$therefore~mathfrak{I}=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sin(y)dy~=~-Gamma(-s)sinleft(frac{pi s}2right)$$
For the simplification of the final solution we excessively used Euler's Reflection Formula which is a key property of the Gamma Function. Within line $(1)$ we applied the formula for $z=frac{s+1}2$ and within line $(2)$ for $z=s+1$. The trigonometric reshaping utilized the double-angle formula as well as the periodic property of the sine function.

I realised this question has been asked before as you can see here. Anyway I will write down my solution here again. First of all consider Ramanuajan's Master Theorem.
Ramanujan's Master Theorem
Let $f(x)$ be an analytic function with a MacLaurin Expansion of the form
$$f(x)=sum_{k=0}^{infty}frac{phi(k)}{k!}(-x)^k$$then the Mellin Transform of this function is given by
$$int_0^{infty}x^{p-1}f(x)dx=Gamma(p)phi(-p)$$
In order to use this Theorem we may expand the sine function as a series followed by the substitution $y^2=t$ which yields to
$$begin{align*}
mathfrak{I}=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sin(y)dy&=int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{y^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}dy\
&=frac12int_0^{infty}y^{-s-1}sum_{n=0}^infty (-1)^n frac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-y^2)^n[2ydy]\
&=frac12int_0^infty t^{-(s+1)/2}sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{n!/(2n+1)!}{n!}(-t)^ndt
end{align*}$$
Now we can use Ramanuajan's Master Theorem by setting $p=-frac{s-1}2$ and $phi(n)=frac{n!}{(2n+1)!}=frac{Gamma(n+1)}{Gamma(2(n+1))}$ and so we get

&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}Gammaleft(frac{s+1}2right)Gammaleft(-frac{s-1}2right)tag1\

I'd say most of the book relies heavily on the same kind of derivation : complex analysis, change of variable, change of contour, recognizing famous integrals, restricting to domains where everything is easier then extending by continuity/analyticity.
For $Re(s) < 0$ and $Re(e^a) >0$ then $$int_0^infty t^{-s-1} e^{-e^a t}dt = int_0^{e^{overline{a}}infty} (e^{-a }u)^{-s-1} e^{-u}d(e^{-a}u)
=e^{a s}int_0^{e^{overline{a}}infty}+int_{e^{overline{a}}infty}^infty u^{-s-1} e^{-u}du= e^{a s} Gamma(-s)$$
For $Re(s) in (-1,0)$ and $a =b+ ipi/2$ then $$2iint_0^infty t^{-s-1} sin(t) dt = lim_{b to 0^+} int_0^infty t^{-s-1} (e^{-e^{b+ipi/2} t}-e^{-e^{b-ipi/2} t})dt = lim_{b to 0^+}(e^{s(b+ipi/2) }-e^{s(b-ipi/2)}) Gamma(-s)= 2i sin(pi s/2)Gamma(-s)$$
And $int_0^infty t^{-s-1} sin(t) dt =sin(pi s/2)Gamma(-s)$ stays true for $Re(s) in(-1,1)$ by analytic continuation
Note a similar derivation with $int_0^infty t^{s-1} log(1-e^{-t})dt$ yields the functional equation for $zeta(s)$, as $Im(log(1-e^{4i pi t})) = 2ipi t - 2ipilfloor t rfloor$

Yes, then, and now, such computations are eminently "standard" in certain circles... even if completely unknown to a more general mathematical community.

I thought it might be instructive to present an approach that uses Laplace Transforms, an integral representation of the Beta Function, the relationship between the Beta Function and Gamma Function, and Euler's Reflection Formula for the Gamma Function. To that end we now proceed.
Let $f(x)=sin(x)$ and $g(x)=frac{1}{x^{s+1}}$. Then, the Laplace Transform of $f$ is
$$mathscr{L}{f}(x)=frac{1}{x^2+1}tag1$$
and for $text{Re}(s)in(-1,0)$, the inverse Laplace Transform of $g$ is
$$mathscr{L}^{-1}{g}(x)=frac{x^s}{Gamma(s+1)}tag2$$
Using $(1)$ and $(2)$ we see that
$$begin{align}
int_0^infty frac{sin(y)}{y^{s+1}},dy&=frac1{Gamma(s+1)}int_0^infty frac{x^s}{x^2+1},dx\\
&=frac{1}{2Gamma(s+1)}int_0^infty frac{x^{(s-1)/2}}{1+x},dx\\
&=frac1{2Gamma(s+1)}Bleft(frac{1+s}{2},frac{1-s}{2}right)\
&=frac{Gammaleft(frac{1+s}{2}right)Gammaleft(frac{1-s}{2}right)}{2Gamma(s+1)}\\
&=frac{frac{pi}{cos(pi s/2)}}{2frac{pi}{Gamma(-s)sin(pi(s+1))}}\\
&=-Gamma(-s)sin(pi s/2)
end{align}$$
as expected!

For $0<Re(s)<1$, we have
$$
int^{infty}_{0}sin(t)t^{s-1}dt=-operatorname{Im}left(int^{infty}_{0}e^{-it}t^{s-1}dtright)=-operatorname{Im}left((-i)^{s}int^{infty i}_{0 i}e^{-z}z^{s-1}dzright)=
$$
$$
-operatorname{Im}left(e^{-ipi s/2}Gamma(s)right)=sinleft(frac{pi s}{2}right)Gamma(s).
$$
About the question below, it have to be proved that
$$
int^{iinfty}_{0}e^{-z}z^{s-1}dz=Gamma(s),
$$
when $Re(s)in(0,1)$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Out of curiosity: How does the given integral equals the Gamma Function? So far I only has seen the definition $$Gamma(s)=int_0^infty t^{s-1}e^{-t}dt$$ but I do not know how one could justify that $$Gamma(s)stackrel{?}{=}int_0^{color{red}{i}infty} t^{s-1}e^{-t}dt$$ Has it something to do with the fact that you are only taking the imaginary part? Could you explain this detail to me?

I guess it is right like this. Consider the substitution $z=it$. Hence $t$ is the new variable we have to change the borders aswell and thus we get $t_b=frac zi=frac{i0}i=0$ and $t_t=frac zi=frac{iinfty}i=infty$ if I am not mistaken. However, I cannot tell how the factor $e^{-ipi s/2}$ is gained by Mathematica.

If you are interested in an attempt not relying on complex analysis I can offer a method using Ramanujan's Master Theorem which is quite simple too.

My guess: the authors thought it not worth going into, that anyone who cared enough to verify could do so. And if, as you say, the computation isn't particularly difficult, it's probably (to them) not worth the trouble to go into, Personally I hate that philosophy myself (albeit depending on the context) but some people seem to like it.

@mrtaurho Would you care to demonstrate it? The book did cover ramanujan sums in the first chapter. However the book did not define it. It might be correlated to that part of the book.

I think it is trivial from the Mellin transform point of view $M(sin(t))(s)=int^{infty}_{0}sin(t)t^{s-1}dt=Gamma(s)sinleft(frac{spi}{2}right)$, $-1<Re(s)<1$
