Abstract
The completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ is expanded in MacLaurin series (infinite polynomial), which can be further expressed as infinite product (Hadamard product) of quadratic factors by its complex conjugate zeros $\rho_i=\alpha_i +j\beta_i, \bar{\rho}_i=\alpha_i-j\beta_i, 0<\alpha_i<1, \beta_i\neq 0, i\in \mathbb{N}$ are natural numbers from 1 to infinity, $\rho_i$ are in order of increasing $|\rho_i|=\sqrt{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}$, i.e., $|\rho_1|<|\rho_2|\leq|\rho_3|\leq |\rho_4|, \cdots$, together with $\beta_1<\beta_2\leq\beta_3\leq\beta_4, \cdots$. Then, according to the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have $$\xi(0)\prod_{i\in \mathbb{N}}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)} =\xi(0)\prod_{i\in \mathbb{N}}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}$$ which, by Lemma 3, is equivalent to $$(s-\alpha_i)^2 = (1-s-\alpha_i)^2, i \in \mathbb{N}, \text{from 1 to infinity.}$$ with only valid solution $\alpha_i= \frac{1}{2}$ (another solution $s=\frac{1}{2}$ is invalid due to obvious contradiction). Thus, a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis is achieved.
