Some (philosophical) investigations on possible future of proof of Riemann Hypothesis with possible approach : [closed]

We have seen from history of attempted proofs of Riemann Hypothesis(RH) no matter where / how we start, we always end up at theoretical dead end/ barrier. As there is duality between Zeta zeros and ...

Lemma in Roth's Theorem for Primes

I am reading Ben Green's paper Roth's Theorem in the Primes and I don't follow the proof of Lemma 6.1. I am not sure where the fact there are no more than $n^{3/4}$ elements $x\in A_0$ with $x\leq n^{...

Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support

This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction? Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...

Whether or not the root number of GL$_3\times$GL$_2$ $L$-function $L(s, F \otimes g)$ contains the coefficients $\lambda_g(n)$ of $g$?

$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Let $p$ and $q$ be two distinct primes. Let $$\Gamma_0(p)= \left\{ g\in \GL_3(\mathbb{Z}):g \equiv \left(\begin{matrix} \ast &\ast&\...

Is the upper bound on $H_{1}$ a decreasing function of the proportion of critical zeros of Zeta?

This question stems from https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.19762 and the numerical observation that the best unconditional upper bound for $H_{1}:=\lim\inf_{n\to\infty}p_{n+1}-p_{n}$, namely $H_{1}^{\flat}=...
