# A couple of facts on the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function

This question might be more suitable for http://math.stackexchange.com. I'm not sure about the differences between that website and this website (http://mathoverflow.net), so I'll try it here first.

All the zeros of the Riemann Zeta function on the complex plain are located either on the $[a+0i]$ line (known as trivial zeros), or between the $[0+ti]$ line and the $[1+ti]$ line (known as non-trivial zeros):

My question is with regards to the following facts:

I assume that none of them has been refuted, but has any of them been proved?

• There is a finite number of non-trivial zeros that are not located on the $[\frac{1}{2}+ti]$ line.

• There is a line in the form $[a+ti]$ with $0<a<1$, on which there is a finite number of zeros.

Thanks

• Any positive or negative answer to your questions would resolve the Riemann hypothesis, so no, this has not been proved. Mar 26 '14 at 11:35
• @Per Alexandersson: Thanks. First of all, a negative answer would simply "leave it as is" (would not resolve RH), but that's just a logical misinterpretation of yours I suppose. Second, I can understand why proving the first fact might resolve RH (although it still requires an explanation). But why would proving the second fact resolve RH? If there is one such line (or even an infinite number of such lines), there can still be non-trivial zeros on other lines. Mar 26 '14 at 11:40
