calculus - Show this $int_0^infty frac{tln(2sinh t)}{left(3t^2+ln^2(2sinh t)right)^2}~dt=0$



While evaluating the integral

$$
I_1=\int_{0}^\infty\frac{\sin\pi x~dx}{x\prod\limits_{k=1}^\infty\left(1-\frac{x^3}{k^3}\right)},\tag{1}
$$
I came to this integral of elementary function
$$
I_2=\int_0^\infty \frac{dt}{\left(i t\sqrt{3}+\ln(2\sinh t)\right)^2}.\tag{2}
$$
In fact $I_2$ is real and
$$
I_1=-2\pi I_2.

$$
These formulas imply the closed form
$$
\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{t\ln\left(\,2\sinh\left(\,t\,\right)\,\right)}{\left[\,3t^{2} + \ln^{2}\left(\,2\sinh\left(\,t\,\right)\,\right)\right]^{\,2}}\,{d}t = 0,\tag{3}
$$
or alternatively
$$
\text{Im}\int_0^\infty \frac{dt}{\left(i t\sqrt{3}+\ln(2\sinh t)\right)^2}=0.
$$




Brief outline of proof is as follows. Write the infinite product in terms of Gamma functions, apply reflection formula for Gamma function to get rid of $\sin\pi x$, then use integral representation for Beta function and change the order of integration. Then one can integrate over $x$ to obtain the desired formula.
It seems that this should have a simple proof, but I don't see it.




Q: Can anybody provide a direct proof ?.




Such a direct proof may shed light on possible routes to calculation or simplification of $(2)$.



Here is a numerical demonstration using Mathematica that the integral under consideration is $0$ up to at least $100$ digits:

The integrand for $t>w$ has been replaced by $\frac{1}{16t^2}$, resulting in the term $\frac{1}{16w}$.


Answer



This answer directly proves that:



$$\text{Im}\int_0^\infty \frac{dt}{\left(i t\sqrt{3}+\ln(2\sinh t)\right)^2}=0$$



First, we make a change of variable:




$$x=e^{-2t}$$



Which transforms the identity to:



$$\text{Im} \int_0^1 \frac{dx}{x \left(\ln(1-x)-e^{\pi i/3} \ln x \right)^2}=0$$



Finding the imaginary part explicitly, we now need to prove:



$$ \int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)-\frac{1}{2} \ln^2 x}{x \left(\ln^2 x+\ln^2(1-x)-\ln x \ln (1-x)\right)^2}dx=0$$







Let's introduce a function:




$$f(x)=f(1-x)=\ln^2 x+\ln^2(1-x)-\ln x \ln (1-x)$$




As we have a difference of two positive definite functions under the integral, the identity is equivalent to:





$$\int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)}{x f(x)^2}dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1 \frac{ \ln^2 x}{x f(x)^2}dx$$




Let's denote the integrals $J_1$ and $J_2$. We need to prove that $J_1=J_2$.



Using the substitution $x \to 1-x$ we can prove the following identities:



$$J_1=\int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)}{(1-x) f(x)^2}dx=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)}{x (1-x) f(x)^2}dx$$




$$J_2=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1 \frac{ \ln^2 (1-x)}{(1-x) f(x)^2}dx=\frac{1}{4}\int_0^1 \frac{ (1-x)\ln^2 x+x\ln^2 (1-x)}{x(1-x) f(x)^2}dx$$



Subtracting the two forms of $J_2$ gives us another set of identities:



$$J_3=\int_0^1 \frac{ \ln^2 x}{x (1-x)f(x)^2}dx=\int_0^1 \frac{ \ln^2 (1-x)}{x (1-x)f(x)^2}dx=\int_0^1 \frac{ \ln^2 x+\ln^2 (1-x)}{x f(x)^2}dx$$






From the above follows a relation:




$$J_3-J_1=\int_0^1 \frac{ 1}{x f(x)}dx$$



Now we use integration by parts with:



$$u(x)=\frac{ 1}{f(x)}, \qquad v(x)= \ln x$$



The limits for $u(x)v(x)$ at $0$ and $1$ are both equal to zero. After simplifications, we can write:



$$J_3-J_1=\int_0^1 \frac{(2-x) \ln^2 x-(1+x) \ln x \ln (1-x)}{x(1-x)f(x)^2}dx$$




Making a substitution $x \to 1-x$ and adding the two results, we obtain a symmetric form of the integral:



$$J_3-J_1=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 \frac{(2-x) \ln^2 x+(1+x) \ln^2 (1-x)-3 \ln x \ln (1-x)}{x(1-x)f(x)^2}dx$$



From the other identities above, it can be finally seen that:




$$J_3-J_1=J_3+2J_2-3J_1$$





Or immediately:



$$J_1=J_2$$



The proof is finished.






Remark. This doesn't use the other identity shown by FDP in the comments. To me it looks very difficult to prove.
