Riemann's attempts to prove RH
I read somewhere that Riemann believed he could find a representation of the zeta function that would allow him to show that all the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line. I ...

More mysteries about the zeros of the Riemann zeta function
Update on 12/26/2020: I added the Appendix at the bottom: simplified formula for $|\zeta(s)|^2$, when $\frac{1}{2}<\Re(s)<1$.
Update on 1/5/2020: I added the section "more interesting ...

The location of the zeros of the "new" function $\Psi(s)=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{1}{n!^s}}$
Defining the Psi function as $$\Psi(s)=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{1}{n!^s}}$$ and by studying, from a numerical point of view, the location of the zeros in the complex plane up to $0<\Im(s)<...

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 ...

Cesaro summation of a particular Dirichlet series associated with $\zeta(s)$
If you've investigated the error in Perron's formula in general, you've probably noticed that Cesaro summation $$\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{n\leq x} \left(1-\frac{\log n}{\log x}\right)\frac{a_n}{...

From holes in the image of peculiar functions to new perspective on the Riemann Hypothesis
I am working with the Dirichlet eta function $\eta(z)$, with $z=\sigma+it$, $\sigma > \frac{1}{2}$, and $t>0$. Let us define
$$\eta_n(z,\gamma)= \sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^{k+1}\lambda_k^{-\sigma} e^{-it\...

Double sum over zeros of Riemann zeta-function
In a paper by Saffari and Vaughan there appears a complicated-looking double sum
$$\Sigma_1=\sum_{\rho_1}\sum_{\rho_2}\frac{(1+\theta)^{\rho_1}-1}{\rho_1}\cdot \frac{(1+\theta)^{\bar{\rho_2}}-1}{\bar{\...

An integral involving the argument of the Gamma function and the Riemann Hypothesis
Evaluate $$I=\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{t\arg
\Gamma(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{it}{2})}{(\frac{1}{4}+t^2)^2}\mathrm{d}t$$
where $\Gamma(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x}x^{s-1}\mathrm{d}x.$
Note that $I$ converges ...

Are there any known statistics on the sign of the Stieltjes Constants?
The Stieltjes Constants $\gamma_n$ arise from considering the laurent series of the Riemann Zeta function at $s=1$
$$ \zeta(s) = \frac{1}{s-1} + \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac{\gamma_n}{n!} (s-1)^n $...

On some property of the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ in the complex plane
This property is rather elementary, and not at all specific to $\zeta$, so I am wondering if it has any value in studying the zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip. It is a well ...

Bounds for analytic circles
It is known that for certain particular entire functions $f(s)$ of first order, in the circle $|s| = p$, if $\epsilon$ is a positive number as small as desired, the following bound holds:
$$|f(s)| = O(...
