Understanding a proof. Why is it necessary that $alpha<1$?












1












$begingroup$


I'm reading the following proof from Lang's book of complex analysis. But I don't know why is it necessary that $alpha<1$?. I don't know where "$alpha<1$" is used . I don't understand either why $|g_{epsilon}(s)|to 0$ as $|s| to infty$. Can you help me, please?. I have been stuck for many hours.



Thank you for any help.

    The proof starts with "Let $alpha < beta < 1$". What happens if $beta < alpha$?

    I think that $g_{epsilon}$ might fail to be bounded on the strip. But, if $alpha geq 1$, we could take $beta in (alpha, alpha+1)$ to show the theorem?

    $begingroup$
    The proof relies on $0<beta<1$, since that is a requirement for $cos(betasigma) > 0$ for all $sigmain[-pi/2,pi/2]$.
