Convergence of Integral Expressions for ξ(s) Involving ψ'(x) and ψ''(x) in the Complex Plane
Riemann's Zeta Function Page 17: note $\psi(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}e^{-n^{2}\pi x}$ \begin{equation} \xi(1/2+ti)=4\int_{1}^{+\infty}\frac{d[x^{3/2}\psi^{\prime}(x)]}{dx}x^{-1/4} \cos\left(\frac{t\ln x}...

A question related to the Riemann hypothesis in positive characteristic: Why does $H^{n+1}(X_{u},\mathbb{Q}_{\ell})$ occur in the long exact sequence?
This is related to P. Deligne's paper La conjecture de Weil I, (5.8 b) (pp. 293) and the proof of (7.1) (p. 300). In (5.8) the author shows that there is a short exact sequence \begin{equation*} 0\...

Reference request on a formula proposed by Riemann relating the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ to the non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$
Let $$\pi(x)=\sum\limits_{p\le x} 1\tag{1}$$ be the prime-counting function and $$\rho=\alpha+i \gamma\tag{2}$$ represent a non-trivial zeta zero in the critical strip. This question is about formula ...

How do we know we're finding all of the zeros to Riemann zeta function?
I've seen it reported that we've found all of the nontrivial zeros to the Riemann zeta function up to some large height, and that all of them have real part $1/2$; i.e. a counterexample would need ...

Scaled complex conjugates of non-trivial zeros of Riemann Zeta function
Let $s=\frac12+iz$ be a non-trivial zero of the Riemann Zeta function $\zeta(s)$. Let $f(s,a)=\frac12+iaz$ where $s=\frac12+iz$ be the $a$ complex conjugate of $s$. Eg: $f(s,1)=s$ and $f(s,-1)=\...

Complex conjugates of non-trivial zeros of Riemann Zeta function [closed]
Let $s=\frac12+iz$ be a non-trivial zero of the Riemann Zeta function $\zeta(s)$. Would the complex conjugate $\overline s$ satisfy $\zeta(\overline s)=0$? If not generally would they ever satisfy the ...

About a curious identity for the Mertens function
First of all, please note that I'm just a curious amateur, and the goal of this question is purely out of curiosity rather than directed research. For a reason I don't really understand, it seems ...

A Corollary of the Riemann Hypothesis for one-variable multiplicative sums (A. Weil)
I am having difficulties into understanding the last part of the proof of Hasse Corollary of the Riemann hypothesis over finite fields: Let $g \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be a cubic polynomial with no multiple ...

An estimate of $\pi(x)$ assuming RH [closed]
I came to know that $$\frac{\pi\left(x\right)-\text{Li}\left(x\right)}{\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\log x}}=-1-\sum _{\ \zeta \left(\frac{1}{2}+i\gamma \right)=0}^{ }\frac{x^{i\gamma }}{\frac{1}{2}+i\gamma }+O\...

Symmetry line on zeta function [closed]
We know, assuming eta function, that $$\eta(x) =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^{1-n}\frac{1}{n^{x}}$$ and $$\eta (x)=(1-2^{1-x})\zeta (x)$$ so we have zeros of this function at $x=1$ for $$\frac{2\pi k}{\ln\...

Absoluteness in logic also applies to its negation?
For example, Riemann hypothesis is absolute and that's why we can't apply forcing to obtain independence result. But is negation of Riemann hypothesis also absolute? That is, if ¬RH is true in ZFC, ...

Can the Riemann Hypothesis Survive a Counterexample? [closed]
I’m honestly in a bit of shock after coming across this fascinating rule from the Clay Mathematics Institute's official problem guidelines: "If, alternatively, the counterexample shows that the ...

Does proof on alternating sign error term of Mertens theorems depend on RH?
After reading it I have no clear idea if proof from Guy Robin "Sur l’ordre maximum de la fonction somme des diviseurs" or in other similars related to Merten's Theorems (2nd and 3rd) does ...

Quantitative version of law of large numbers and application to RH
Let $(X_i)_{i \in \Bbb N}$ be a sequence of independent RV's with zero means $\Bbb E[X_i]=0$ and let $(b_i)_{i \in \Bbb N}$ be an increasing sequence of positive numbers satisfying $\sum_i \Bbb E[X_i^...
