Size of $\zeta'(s)$ at its zeros

How large can the derivative of the Riemann zeta function be at its zeros? More specifically, let $\rho$ be a zero of the zeta function with $\Im(\rho)\in (0,T]$. What can we say about $|\zeta'(\rho)|...

Deriving an asymptotic for $\pi(x)$ directly from $\log \zeta(s)$?

Denote by $\pi(x)$ the number of primes $p\leq x$. We generally give approximations for $\pi(x)$ by first approximating $\psi(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} \Lambda(n)$. Part of the reason is presumably that, if ...

Explicit bounds on gaps between zeros of $\zeta^\prime(s)$

In $\S$9.1 of "Theory of the Riemann Zeta Function", Titchmarsh uses Borel-Carathéodory and Hadamard Three Circles to show that every circle of radius 6 and center $3+iT$ contains a zeros of ...

Reference request for the explicit formula for $\sum_{n\leq x} \Lambda(n)n^{-s}$

Denote by $\Lambda(n)$ the von Mangoldt function, which is equal to $\log p$ if $p\geq 2$ is a prime, and $0$ otherwise. Let $\rho$ denote a complex zero of the Riemann $\zeta$-function. If I recall ...

Empirical bounds on $\left|\frac{\zeta'(1+it)}{\zeta(1+it)}\right|$

It is reasonable to expect that $$\left|\frac{\zeta'(1+it)}{\zeta(1+it)}\right| < 2 \log \log t$$ for all $t\geq 4$ (say): a somewhat stronger bound is known for $t\geq 10^{165}$ or so (Theorem 5 ...

Approximating $\zeta^{(r)}(s)$ by a sum

Let $\eta:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ be compactly supported, continuous and piecewise $C^1$, with its derivative $\eta'$ being of bounded variation. It is completely unsurprising that one can prove (...

Order of growth of $\left|\frac{1}{\zeta’(\rho)}\right|$ as $\Im(\rho)\rightarrow\infty$?

Let $\zeta$ denote the Riemann zeta function, and let $\rho\in\mathbb{C}$ be a variable that takes its values among the zeros of the zeta function, so that $\zeta(\rho)=0$, and write $\rho=\sigma+it$. ...

The Correlation of the Möbius Function and Dirichlet Characters

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character, and define $\phi_\chi (n)$ so that it satisfies $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \phi_\chi (n)n^{-s}=\frac{\zeta(s-1)}{L(s,\chi)}.$$ In other words $$\phi_{\chi}(n)=\sum_{d|...

Are Li's numbers $\lambda_n$ absolutely convergent for $n>1$?

Li's numbers $\{\lambda_n\}$ are defined as $$\lambda_n=\frac{1}{(n-1)!}\frac{d^n}{ds^n} [s^{n-1}\log\xi(s)]_{s=1} $$ for all positive integers $n$. Also $\lambda_n$ is given as a sum over the non ...
