Abstract

A new representation is obtained for the Riemann $ \xi $ function, in the form of a series of integrals, multiplied by an exponential factor capturing the correct decay rate for large imaginary argument. Each term in this series then has a simple stationary-phase asymptote, the total agreeing with the Riemann-Siegel sum.
