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 ...

If the Riemann Hypothesis fails, must it fail infinitely often?

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. ...

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 ...

What is the best known upper bound for $\frac{1}{\zeta'(\rho)}$ assuming the SZC but not the RH?

Let $\zeta$ denote the Riemann zeta function and let $\rho$ denote one of its complex zeros. What is the best known upper bound for $\frac{1}{\zeta'(\rho)}$ assuming that all zeros are simple (SZC), ...

Heuristic argument for the Riemann Hypothesis

Is there a heuristic argument that supports the validity of the Riemann hypothesis or are we just relying on numerical evidence? Moreover, what is the strongest theorem that supports the validity of ...

Is anything known about the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{\sqrt{n}} $?

It's well known that there are a shocking number of identities for the usual Jacobi theta function $$ \theta_3(x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x^{n^2}. $$ So I wanted to turn my attention to slowly ...

Three questions about three functions similar to $\sin,\cos$

In The Basel problem revisited? a question about the function, similar to sinc, $f(x)$ was asked: $$f(x) = \prod_{n=1}^\infty \left ( 1+ \frac{x^3}{n^3} \right ) = \prod_{n=1}^\infty \left ( 1+ \frac{...

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\...

Asymptotics of the Liouville sum at the primes

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function, and let $L(x):=\sum_{n \leq x} \lambda(n)$ be the Liouville sum. Define $c$ to be the supremum of the real parts of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. ...

Reference for Lindelöf Hypothesis implying finitely many zeros off critical line?

Can anyone give me a reference for the following theorem on the Riemann zeta function? If the Lindelöf Hypothesis is true (that is $\zeta(\sigma+it)=O(t^\epsilon)$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$), then ...

A question on the use of fractional derivatives in Riemann Hypothesis

We already know that Riemann-zeta function on the critical band is defined as follows: $$(1-2^{1-\alpha})\zeta(\alpha) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{k+1}k^{-\alpha},\quad \Re(\alpha) \in ]0, 1[ $$ Is ...

Four infinite series involving Riemann zeta function

Can you provide a proof for at least one of the claims given below? It is known that $\pi=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{3^n-1}{4^n} \cdot \zeta(n+1)$ where $\zeta$ denotes Riemann zeta ...

Asymptotics for $\int_{0}^{T} \zeta(\sigma+ it) \mathrm{d}t$

Denote by $\zeta$ the Riemann zeta function. It is known that $$\int_{0}^{T} \zeta(1/2 + it) \mathrm{d}t = T + O(T^{1/2}).$$ But is a similar result for $\int_{0}^{T} \zeta(\sigma + it) \mathrm{d}...

On the upper bound for $|\zeta(s)|$ near the zeta zeros

Let $T \in \mathbb{R}$ be large and $\rho$ be a non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function. Assume that $|\rho|=|\rho_T| \approx T$ and let $\varepsilon_T \approx \frac{\log \log T}{\log T}$. Is it ...

Asymptotic number of zeros for Dirichlet series with functional equation

On infinite sum containing logarithmic derivative of Zeta function and Möbius function:

Consider the following function: $$F(s)= \sum_m \mu(m) \sum_n \frac{e^{-n/2}\zeta^\prime (mns)}{n \zeta(mns)}$$ Now, we can see, that function has simple poles ${\left[\frac{1}{n}\right]}_{n=1}^\...
