Is Riemann zeta function injective in some strips $a<\Re(s)<b$, where $0\leq a<b \leq 1$?
Or more generally, are L-functions injective in some strips $a<\Re(s)<b$, where $0\leq a<b \leq 1$?

Has there been further work on Bender-Brody-Müller approach to RH?
Earlier this year (April 4, 2017), a seemingly tantalizing approach of the Riemann Hypothesis based on ideas dating back to Hilbert and Pólya by Bender, Brody and Müller was made publicly available. I ...

$\zeta^{(k)}(s) < 0$ for $s\in (0,1)$
A bit of plotting suggests that $\zeta^{(k)}(s) < 0$ for all $s\in (0,1)$ and all integers $k\geq 0$. (Or, what is the same: $\zeta^{(k)}(s)$ has no zeroes on $(0,1)$.) Is there a brief, clean ...

Is $|\zeta(e^{ni})|\leq \log(n)$ true for $n > 19$ and how do i can show it if it is?
I performed some computations in wolfram alpha looking at the behavior of the values of $|\zeta(e^{ni})|$ trying to predict a lower bound. I have got the following result:
For $n > 19 :|\zeta(e^{...

Zeros of the derivative of Riemann's $\xi$-function
The Riemann xi function $\xi(s)$ is defined as
$$
\xi(s)=\frac12 s(s-1)\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta(s).
$$
It is an entire function whose zeros are precisely those of $\zeta(s)$.
Since $\xi$ is real ...

Cesaro summation of a particular Dirichlet series associated with $\zeta(s)$

Can infinite polynomials be expressed as a product of its linear factors?
Background:
In the 1700s, Euler solved the Basel Problem, which was to solve $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^2}$ in closed-form. Euler showed that it was equal to $\frac{\pi^2}{6}$ by first expressing $\...

That is must there either be no non-trivial zeros off the critical line or
infinitely many?
I'm sure that no one believes otherwise, but I've never seen a theorem in the
literature addressing this. ...
