Reformulation of riemann zeta
Does this extend to $\mathbb{C}$?
$\displaystyle ζ(x) = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{ 1}{\lfloor t\rfloor ^x} dt$, where for $0 \leq t < 1$ we say that $\lfloor t \rfloor = 1$.

Riemann hypothesis and diophantine equation
I read that showing Riemann hypothesis is true was equivalent to showing a particular diophantine equation doesn't have any solution.
