We use the conjecture of Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer for averages of ratios of the Riemann zeta function to calculate all the lower order terms of the triple correlation function of the Riemann zeros. A previous approach was suggested in 1996 by Bogomolny and Keating taking inspiration from semi-classical methods. At that point they did not write out the answer explicitly, so we do that here, illustrating that by our method all the lower order terms down to the constant can be calculated rigourously if one assumes the ratios conjecture of Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer. Bogomolny and Keating returned to their previous results simultaneously with this current work, and have written out the full expression. The result presented in this paper agrees precisely with their formula, as well as with our numerical computations, which we include here.
We also include an alternate proof of the triple correlation of eigenvalues from random U(N) matrices which follows a nearly identical method to that for the Riemann zeros, but is based on the theorem for averages of ratios of characteristic polynomials.
We propose an architecture of a conjecture concerning the Riemann Hypothesis in the form of an "alternative" to the Pólya strategy: we construct a Hamiltonian H_Polya whose spectrum coincides exactly with that of the Harmonic Oscillator Hamiltonian H_osc if and only if the Riemann Hypothesis holds true. In other words, it can be said that we formulate the Riemann Hypothesis by means of a non-commutative structure on the real axis, viz., that of the Harmonic Oscillator, by an equation of the type H_Polya(H_osc) = H_osc: the Harmonic Oscillator operator, if viewed as an argument of H_Polya, repr…
We discuss a formal derivation of an integral expression for the Li coefficients associated with the Riemann xi-function which, in particular, indicates that their positivity criterion is obeyed, whereby entailing the criticality of the non-trivial zeros. We conjecture the validity of this and related expressions without the need for the Riemann Hypothesis and discuss a physical interpretation of this result within the Hilbert-Polya approach. In this context we also outline a relation between string theory and the Riemann Hypothesis.
We postulate the existence of a self-adjoint operator associated to a system with countably infinite number of degrees of freedom whose spectrum is the sequence of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We assume that it describes a massive scalar field coupled to a background field in a $(d+1)$-dimensional flat space-time. The scalar field is confined to the interval $[0,a]$ in one dimension and is not restricted in the other dimensions. The renormalized zero-point energy of this system is presented using techniques of dimensional and analytic regularization. In even dimensional s…
We present a derivation of the numerical phenomenon that differences between the Riemann zeta function's nontrivial zeros tend to avoid being equal to the imaginary parts of the zeros themselves, a property called statistical "repulsion" between the zeros and their differences. Our derivation relies on the statistical properties of the prime zeta function, whose singularity structure specifies the positions of the Riemann zeros. We show that the prime zeta function on the critical line is asymptotically normally distributed with a covariance function that is closely approximated by the logarit…
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.
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.
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.
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.
We numerically study the statistical properties of differences of zeros of Riemann zeta function and L-functions predicted by the theory of the eñe product. In particular, this provides a simple algorithm that computes any non-real Riemann zeros from very large ones ("self-replicating property of Riemann zeros"). Also the algorithm computes the full sequence of non-real zeros of Riemann zeta function from the sequence of non-real zeros of any Dirichlet L-function ("zeros of L-functions know about Riemann zeros"). We also check that the first error to the convergence to the classical GUE statis…
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 generalize the results of Akatsuka to the $k$-th derivative (for positive integer $k$) of the Riemann zeta function.
For any real $β_0\in[\tfrac12,1)$, let ${\rm GRH}[β_0]$ be the assertion that for every Dirichlet character $χ$ and all zeros $ρ=β+iγ$ of $L(s,χ)$, one has $β\leβ_0$ (in particular, ${\rm GRH}[\frac12]$ is the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis). In this paper, we show that the validity of ${\rm GRH}[\frac{9}{10}]$ depends only on certain distributional properties of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function $ζ(s)$. No conditions are imposed on the zeros of nonprincipal Dirichlet $L$-functions.
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.
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.
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.
Berry and Keating conjectured that the classical Hamiltonian H = xp is related to the Riemann zeros. A regularization of this model yields semiclassical energies that behave, in average, as the non trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. However, the classical trajectories are not closed, rendering the model incomplete. In this paper, we show that the Hamiltonian H = x (p + l_p^2/p) contains closed periodic orbits, and that its spectrum coincides with the average Riemann zeros. This result is generalized to Dirichlet L-functions using different self-adjoint extensions of H. We discuss the …
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.
Numerical study of the distribution of the Riemann zeros differences following the work [1] shows the significance of the function for which the prime sum expression is proposed. Computational results related to this definition explored with various prime cut-offs.
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.
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.
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.
Riemann conjectured that all the zeros of the Riemann $Ξ$-function are real, which is now known as the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). In this article we introduce the study of the zeros of the truncated sums $Ξ_N(z)$ in Riemann's uniformly convergent infinite series expansion of $Ξ(z)$ involving incomplete gamma functions. We conjecture that when the zeros of $Ξ_N (z)$ in the first quadrant of the complex plane are listed by increasing real part, their imaginary parts are monotone nondecreasing. We show how this conjecture implies the RH, and discuss some computational evidence for this and other re…
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).
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).
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.
We show that the density functions of nearest neighbor spacing distributions for zeros of the real or imaginary part of the Riemann xi-function on vertical lines are described by the M-function which is appeared in value distributions of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta-function on vertical lines.
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.
We prove that the error in the prime number theorem can be quantitatively improved beyond the Riemann Hypothesis bound by using versions of Montgomery's conjecture for the pair correlation of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function which are uniform in long ranges and with suitable error terms.
We prove a formula for the Mangoldt function which relates it to a sum over all the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, in addition we analize a truncated version of it.
We show that at least 19/27 of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function are simple, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). This was previously established by Conrey, Ghosh and Gonek [Proc. London Math. Soc. 76 (1998), 497--522] under the additional assumption of the Generalised Lindelöf Hypothesis (GLH). We are able to remove this hypothesis by careful use of the generalised Vaughan identity.
We exhibit very small eigenvalues of the quadratic form associated to the Weil explicit formulas restricted to test functions whose support is within a fixed interval with upper bound S. We show both numerically and conceptually that the associated eigenvectors are obtained by a simple arithmetic operation of finite sum using prolate spheroidal wave functions associated to the scale S. Then we use these functions to condition the canonical spectral triple of the circle of length L=2 Log(S) in such a way that they belong to the kernel of the perturbed Dirac operator. We give numerical evidence …
We use the Prime Number Theorem to prove the existence of zero-free strips for the Riemann-zeta function. Precisely, we prove that there exists $δ>0$ for which if $0\leq r<δ$ then $ζ(s)\neq 0$ for Re$(s)>1-r$.
Zeros of the Riemann zeta function and its derivatives have been studied by many mathematicians. Among, 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, Akatsuka, and the author. Berndt, Levinson, and Montgomery investigated the unconditional case, while Akatsuka and the author gave sharper estimates under the truth of the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper, we prove similar results related to the first derivative of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with primi…
The convergence of a sequence of Cauchy sequences is conjectured; which if shown to be true, would prove the Riemann hypothesis by way of LeClair and França's transcendental equation criteria.
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.
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.
Rational Diophantine triples, i.e. rationals a,b,c with the property that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1 are perfect squares, are often used in construction of elliptic curves with high rank. In this paper, we consider the opposite problem and ask how small can be the rank of elliptic curves induced by rational Diophantine triples. It is easy to find rational Diophantine triples with elements with mixed signs which induce elliptic curves with rank 0. However, the problem of finding such examples of rational Diophantine triples with positive elements is much more challenging, and we will provide the first su…
It is shown explicitly how the sign of Hardy's function $Z(t)$ depends on the parity of the zero-counting function $N(T)$. Two existing definitions of this function are analyzed, and some related problems are discussed.
In this paper, we consider the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function as the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a fractal manifold. From the heat kernel expansion, we figure out that the fractal dimension of the manifold is about 1.1-1.2. Also we compare this result to the random matrix theory and the quantum chaos theory.
In this work, we present a non-linear difference equation for calculation of the zeros of the Riemann's zeta-function on the critical line. Our proposed non-linear map uses the Lambert W function and it can be easily implemented in a mathematical software. In order to check the quality of the zeros calculated, we show the factorization of an integer number by the calculation of the discrete cosine Riemann transform.
Evidence of an algebraic/analytic structure of the Riemann Spectrum, consisting of the imaginary parts of the corresponding zeros, is reviewed, with emphasis on the distribution of the image of the primes under the Cramer characters $X_p(t)=p^{it}$. The duality between primes and Riemann zeros, expressed traditionally as the Riemann-Mangoldt exact equation, is further used to investigate from a statistical point of view, the correspondence between the POSet structure of prime numbers and this yet unknown structure of R-Spec. Specifically, the statistical correlation coefficient $c(p,q)=<X_p,X_…
We numerically investigate, for zeros $ρ=1/2+iγ$, the statistics of the imaginary part of $\log(ζ^\prime(1/2+iγ))$, computed by continuous variation along a vertical line from $σ=4$ to $4+iγ$ and then along a horizontal line to $1/2+iγ$.
We compute the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function weighted by $|ζ(\frac12+it)|^{2k}$ for $k=1$ and, for test functions with Fourier support in $(-\frac12,\frac12)$, for $k=2$. As a consequence, for $k=1,2$, we deduce under the Riemann hypothesis that $T(\log T)^{1-k^2+o(1)}$ non-trivial zeros of $ζ$, of imaginary parts up to $T$, are such that $ζ$ attains a value of size $(\log T)^{k+o(1)}$ at a point which is within $O(1/\log T)$ from the zero.
