We study the value-distribution of Dirichlet polynomials on the critical line $\Re(s)=\tfrac{1}{2}$. As a consequence, we prove a corollary on small consecutive gaps between zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We also examine the distribution of zeros under the so-called alternative hypothesis and present a new approach to the problem of gaps between the zeros.
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive zeros of the Riemann zeta-function whose gaps are greater than 2.9 times the average spacing.
We prove that there exist infinitely many consecutive zeros of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line whose gaps are greater than $3.18$ times the average spacing. Using a modification of our method, we also show that there are even larger gaps between the multiple zeros of the zeta function on the critical line (if such zeros exist).
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis(GRH), we show that infinitely often consecutive non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function differ by at least 3.072 times the average spacing.
Combining the mollifiers, we exhibit other choices of coefficients that improve the results on large gaps between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. Precisely, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive gaps greater than 3.033 times the average spacing.
We show that the generalized Riemann hypothesis implies that there are infinitely many consecutive zeros of the Riemann zeta function whose spacing is 2.9125 times larger than the average spacing. This is deduced from the calculation of the second moment of the Riemann zeta function multiplied by a Dirichlet polynomial averaged over the zeros of the zeta function.
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we show that infinitely often consecutive non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function differ by at least 2.7327 times the average spacing and infinitely often they differ by at most 0.5154 times the average spacing.
Let $K$ be a quadratic number field and $ζ_K(s)$ be the associated Dedekind zeta-function. We show that there are infinitely many normalized gaps between consecutive zeros of $ζ_K(s)$ on the critical line which are greater than $2.866$ times the average spacing.
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we show that infinitely often consecutive non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function differ by at most 0.5155 times the average spacing and infinitely often they differ by at least 2.69 times the average spacing.
In this note, we prove Selberg's announced result on $r$-gaps between zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $ζ$. Our proof uses a result on variations of $\argζ$ by Tsang based on Selberg's method. The same result with explicit constants under the Riemann Hypothesis has been obtained by Conrey and Turnage-Butterbaugh using a different method. We explain how to obtain explicit constants under the Riemann Hypothesis using our approach which is based on Selberg's and Tsang's arguments.
In this paper, we derive new lower bounds for the normalized distances between consecutive maxima of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line subject to the truth of the Riemann hypothesis. The method of our proofs relies on a Sobolev type inequality of one dimension and an Opial type inequality with best possible constants.
We show assuming RH that phenomena concerning pairs of zeros established $via$ pair correlations occur with positive density (with at most a slight adjustment of the constants). Also, while a double zero is commonly considered to be a close pair, we consider the difference between two $distinct$ zeros.
Small values of $|ζ(1/2+it)|$ are investigated, using the value distribution results of A. Selberg. This gives an asymptotic formula for $μ(\{0 < t \le T : |ζ(1/2+it)| \le c\})$. Some related problems involving values of $|ζ(1/2+it)|$ and gaps between the consecutive ordinates of zeros of $ζ(s)$ are also discussed.
We make explicit an argument of Heath-Brown concerning large and small gaps between nontrivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function, $ζ(s)$. In particular, we provide the first unconditional results on gaps (large and small) which hold for a positive proportion of zeroes. To do this we prove explicit bounds on the second and fourth power moments of $S(t+h)-S(t)$, where $S(t)$ denotes the argument of $ζ(s)$ on the critical line and $h \ll 1 / \log T$. We also use these moments to prove explicit results on the density of the nontrivial zeroes of $ζ(s)$ of a given multiplicity.
We show that for any sufficiently large $T,$ there exists a subinterval of $[T,2T]$ of length at least $2.766 \times \frac{2π}{\log{T}},$ in which the function $t \mapsto ζ(1/2 + it)$ has no zeros.
In this paper, first by employing inequalities derived from the Opial inequality due to David Boyd with best constant, we will establish new unconditional lower bounds for the gaps between the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Second, on the hypothesis that the moments of the Hardy Z-function and its derivatives are correctly predicted, we establish some explicit formulae for the lower bounds of the gaps between the zeros and use them to establish some new conditional bounds. In particular it is proved that the consecutive nontrivial zeros often differ by at least 6.1392 (conditionally) time…
Feng and Wu introduced a new general coefficient sequence into Montgomery and Odlyzko's method for exhibiting irregularity in the gaps between consecutive zeros of $ζ(s)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis. They used a special case of their sequence to improve upon earlier results on the gaps. In this paper we consider an equivalent form of the general sequence of Feng and Wu, and introduce a somewhat less general sequence $\{a_n\}$ for which we write the Montgomery-Odlyzko expressions explicitly. As an application, we give the following slight improvement of Feng and Wu's result: infinitely ofte…
It is proved that Epstein's zeta-function $ζ_{Q}(s)$, related to a positive definite integral binary quadratic form, has a zero $1/2 + iγ$ with $ T \leq γ\leq T + T^{{3/7} +\varepsilon} $ for sufficiently large positive numbers $T$. This is an improvement of the result by M. Jutila and K. Srinivas (Bull. London Math. Soc. 37 (2005) 45--53).
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we improve on previous results by proving there are infinitely many zeros of the Riemann zeta-function whose differences are smaller than 0.50412 times the average spacing. To obtain this result, we generalize a set of weights that were developed by Xiaosheng Wu, who used them to find a positive proportion of large and small gaps between zeros of the Riemann zeta-function.
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, it is known that there are infinitely many consecutive pairs of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function within 0.515396 times the average spacing. This is obtained using the method of Montgomery and Odlyzko. We prove that this method can never find infinitely many pairs of consecutive zeros within 0.5042 times the average spacing.
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove for any natural number $r$ there exist infinitely many large natural numbers $n$ such that $(γ_{n+r}-γ_n)/(2π/\log γ_n) > r + Θ\sqrt{r}$ and $(γ_{n+r}-γ_n)/(2π/\log γ_n) < r - \vartheta\sqrt{r}$ for explicit absolute positive constants $Θ$ and $\vartheta$, where $γ$ denotes an ordinate of a zero of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Selberg published announcements of this result several times but did not include a proof. We also suggest a general framework which might lead to stronger statements concerning the vertical distribution of nontriv…
We derive an explicit expression for an inverse power series over the gaps values of numerical semigroups generated by two integers. It implies a set of new identities for the Hurwitz zeta function.
In this paper, we prove the lower bound of the unconditional large gap is 3.5555 which improves the obtained value 3.079 in the literature. Next, on the hypothesis that the moments of the Hardy Z-function and its derivatives are correctly predicted we establish a new explicit formula of the gaps and use it to establish some lower bounds for k=3,4,...,15. In particular it is proved that lower bound when k=15 is 9.6435 which means that the consecutive nontrivial zeros often differ by at least 9.6435 times the average spacing. The main results are proved by employed an integral inequality with a …

The following theorem is proven: Both real and imaginary parts of the function F(s) defined as F(s)=zeta(s)*Gamma(s/2)*pi**(-s/2)=xi(s)/(s*(s-1)), and whose zeroes exactly coincide with the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function, have infinitely many zeroes for any value of Re(s).
We show that if the derivative of the Riemann zeta function has sufficiently many zeros close to the critical line, then the zeta function has many closely spaced zeros. This gives a condition on the zeros of the derivative of the zeta function which implies a lower bound of the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields.
Of what use are the zeros of the Riemann zeta function? We can use sums involving zeta zeros to count the primes up to $x$. Perron's formula leads to sums over zeta zeros that can count the squarefree integers up to $x$, or tally Euler's $ϕ$ function and other arithmetical functions. This is largely a presentation of experimental results.
Numerical investigations around a transformation of Landau's formula suggest certain statistical regularities in the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function.
It is well known that real zeros of the Riemann zeta function are negative even integers. As for real zeros of the Hurwitz zeta function, T. Nakamura recently gave an existence condition in the intervals (0,1) and (-1,0). We generalize this result for all negative real numbers.
The distribution of the zeros of the Euler double zeta-function $ζ_2(s_1,s_2)$, in the case when $s_1=s_2$, is studied numerically. Some similarity to the distribution of the zeros of Hurwitz zeta-functions is observed.
In this paper, we show that any polynomial of zeta or $L$-functions with some conditions has infinitely many complex zeros off the critical line. This general result has abundant applications. By using the main result, we prove that the zeta-functions associated to symmetric matrices treated by Ibukiyama and Saito, certain spectral zeta-functions and the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions have infinitely many complex zeros off the critical line. Moreover, we show that the Lindelöf hypothesis for the Riemann zeta-function is equivalent to the Lindelöf hypothesis for zeta-functions mentioned a…
Some zero-free regions were known on the right half of the complex plane in the form of vertical strips for fractional hypergeometric zeta functions. In this paper, we describe and demonstrate zero free regions on the left half of the complex plane for fractional hypergeometric zeta functions. The fractional hypergeometric zeta function of order $a$ has no zeros to the left half of the complex plane except the trivial zeros on the real axis.
In this note, we prove the existence of infinitely many zeros of certain generalized Hurwitz zeta functions in the domain of absolute convergence. This is a generalization of a classical problem of Davenport, Heilbronn and Cassels about the zeros of the Hurwitz zeta function.
In this unpublished note, we sketch an idea of using a three-piece mollifier to slightly improve the known percentages of zeros and simple zeros of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. This uses the recent result of Bettin, Bui, Li and Radziwill [BBLR] on the twisted fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function.
In this paper, we study a more general pair correlation function, $F_h(x,T)$, of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. It provides information on the distribution of larger differences between the zeros.
We introduce multiple versions of L-functions for Witten zeta functions. We study their algebraic and analytic properties. Especially we investigate the existence of zeros at negative integers. These results strongly suggest the universal zero at -2. We look at their absolute limits also.
We develop a method for mean-value estimation of long Dirichlet polynomials. For an application, we use our method to study properties of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function.
The derivative of the Riemann zeta function was computed numerically on several large sets of zeros at large heights. Comparisons to known and conjectured asymptotics are presented.
We consider a smooth counting function of the scaled zeros of the Riemann zeta function, around height T. We show that the first few moments tend to the Gaussian moments, with the exact number depending on the statistic considered.
We investigate the distribution of the zeros of partial sums of the Riemann zeta-function, sum_{n\leq X}n^{-s}, estimating the number of zeros up to height T, the number of zeros to the right of a given vertical line, and other aspects of their horizontal distribution.
Assume the Riemann hypothesis. On the right-hand side of the critical strip, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the discrete mean square of the Riemann zeta-function over imaginary parts of its zeros.
The alternating zeta function zeta*(s) = 1 - 2^{-s} + 3^{-s} - ... is related to the Riemann zeta function by the identity (1-2^{1-s})zeta(s) = zeta*(s). We deduce the vanishing of zeta*(s) at each nonreal zero of the factor 1-2^{1-s} without using the identity. Instead, we use a formula connecting the partial sums of the series for zeta*(s) to Riemann sums for the integral of x^{-s} from x=1 to x=2. We relate the proof to our earlier paper "The Riemann Hypothesis, simple zeros, and the asymptotic convergence degree of improper Riemann sums," Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 126 (1998) 1311-1314.
We prove some identities, which involve the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. From them we derive some convergent asymptotic expansions related to the work by Cramér, and also new representations for some arithmetical functions in terms of the non-trivial zeros.
This article studies the zeros of Dedekind zeta functions. In particular, we establish a smooth explicit formula for these zeros and we derive an effective version of the Deuring-Heilbronn phenomenon. In addition, we obtain an explicit bound for the number of zeros in a box.
In this paper we obtain some new estimates for the number of large values of Dirichlet polynomials. Our results imply new zero density estimates for the Riemann zeta function which give a small improvement on results of Bourgain and Jutila.
The (partially) ordered set of the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function with positive imaginary parts is considered. The order is the coordinatewise order inherited from $\mathbb{C}$. Some interesting properties regarding the minimal elements of this poset are proven.
Assuming GRH, we prove an explicit upper bound for the number of zeros of a Dedekind zeta function having imaginary part in $[T-a,T+a]$. We also prove a bound for the multiplicity of the zeros.
The number of zeros and the distribution of the real part of non-real zeros of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function have been investigated by Berndt, Levinson, Montgomery, and Akatsuka. Berndt, Levinson, and Montgomery investigated the general case, meanwhile Akatsuka gave sharper estimates for the first derivative of the Riemann zeta function under the truth of the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper, we extend the results of Akatsuka to the second derivative of the Riemann zeta function.
The Legendre type relation for the counting function of ordinary twin primes is reworked in terms of the inverse of the Riemann zeta function. Its analysis sheds light on the distribution of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip and their links to primes and the twin prime problem.
A key theorem formulated in the context of functional Mellin transforms generalizes the important relationship $\exp\mathrm{tr} M=\det\exp M$. Along with the involution symmetry of the zeta function, the theorem suggests a strategy for tackling the Riemann hypothesis.
Based on work of Alain Connes, I have constructed a spectral interpretation for zeros of L-functions. Here we specialise this construction to the Riemann zeta function. We construct an operator on a nuclear Frechet space whose spectrum is the set of non-trivial zeros of zeta. We exhibit the explicit formula for the zeros of the Riemann zeta function as a character formula.
