Since then it has served as the model for a proliferation of "zeta-functions" throughout mathematics. Some mention of the Riemann zeta-function, and treatment of the prime number theorem as an asymptotic result have become a topic treated by writers of introductory texts in complex variables.

The Riemann zeta function is the function for a complex number whose real part is greater than 1.The historical moments include Euler's proof that there are infinitely many primes, in which he proves
as well as Riemann's statement of his hypothesis and several others. Beineke and Hughes then define the moment of the modulus of the Riemann zeta function by
and take us through the work of several mathematicians on properties of the second and fourth moments.

When the eigenfunctions are characters, these eigenvalues are respectively polynomials, products of ordinary gamma functions, and products of Riemann zeta functions, with the appropriate complex variables.

The Riemann zeta function of the Laplacian on a compact Lie group is the Mellin transform of the regularized trace of the heat kernel, and we express the Riemann zeta function in terms of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. Issues on the regions of convergence of the series defining the Riemann zeta functions are beyond the scope of this paper and hence omitted.

Usage notes
The Riemann zeta function and generalizations comprise an important subject of research in analytic number theory.
There are numerous analogues to the Riemann zeta function: such a one may be referred to as a en zeta function, and some are given names of the form X zeta function. Many, but not all functions so named are generalizations of the Riemann zeta function. (See List of zeta functions)
The Riemann zeta function is used in physics (such as in the theory of heat kernels and wave propagation), apparently for reasons more to do with the function's behavior than any approximation of reality.
