Implications of divergence of $1/\zeta(s) $ at 1/2
$1/\zeta(s)=\sum_{n>0}\frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}$ where $\mu$ is the Moebius function.
This series is known to converge for $s\ge 1$ and diverge for $s\le 1/2$.
Its convergence is unknown if $1/2< s&...

When does the function $F(x)=\frac{\operatorname{li}(x^{1/2})}{\operatorname{li}(x)-\pi(x)}$ reach $F(x) > 8$?
We know from Ramanujan and Riemann that,
$$\pi(x) = \operatorname{li}(x) -\tfrac12\operatorname{li}(x^{1/2})-\tfrac13\operatorname{li}(x^{1/3})-\tfrac15\operatorname{li}(x^{1/5}) +\dots$$
with prime ...

Is finding positive integer solutions of $\zeta(a/b) = c$ equivalent to deciding the rationality of $\gamma$?
This question requires little bit of explanation of the background hence it is a bit lengthy. Note: The question was initially posted in MSE but did not get answers hence posting in MO.
For every ...

Are there infinitely many zeros of $\chi(s)+ \dfrac{2^{s}- 2^{2s-1}}{2^{s}-1}$ on the critical line?
Take $\chi(s)= 2^s\,\pi^{s-1}\,\sin\left(\frac{\pi\,s}{2}\right)\,\Gamma(1-s)$, so that $\zeta(s)=\chi(s)\,\zeta(1-s)$.
The zeros of $\chi(s)=-1$ and the non-trivial zeros $\rho$ of $\zeta(s)$, seem ...

Square integral of finite Euler product
Consider the finite Euler product

Possible regularisation for sum of function of primes
Consider the following sum of function of primes:
$$-\sum_{p}\ln\left( 1 - \frac{1}{(ep)^{1/2}} \right){\ln(p)}$$
Here $p$ runs through all primes and $e$ is Euler's constant.
We can see that the sum ...

How could this difference in series of power of zeros associated to counting integers and counting primes be explained?
Introduction:
In this 1992 paper, J.B. Keiper (an amazing person, who tragically died way too young), derives several power series expansions of the Riemann $\xi$-function that involve infinite sums ...

Proving that the Riemann zeta function is zero free on Re=1 using the prime number theorem
Is $\frac{-\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)}+\frac{-s}{s-1}$ an analytic continuation, holomorphic for $Re\ s > 0,\ s\neq 1$, of $f(s)=s\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\psi(x)-x}{x^{s+1}}\mathrm{d}x$?
If so: Let $s_{0}$ ...

Explicit formula for $n$th prime in terms of Riemann zeros:
We all know there exists an explicit Formula for prime counting function in terms of Riemann zeros.
I'm wondering if similar formula exists for $n$th prime in terms of Riemann zeros?
Or any other ...

Function involving argument of the Riemann zeta function
When $t$ is an ordinate of a zero of Riemann zeta function, we define \begin{equation}
f(t):=\frac{t}{2\pi}\log\left(\frac{t}{2\pi e}\right)+S(t)-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{48 \pi t}+\frac{7}{5760 t^3}+...

Explicit formula for zeta function with special type of weight
Consider the following line of thinking:
$$\pi(x) = \operatorname{R}(x) - \sum_{\rho}\operatorname{R}(x^{\rho}) - \frac1{\ln x} + \frac1\pi \arctan \frac\pi{\ln x} $$
Here,
$\operatorname{R}(x) = \...

Questions on Riemann's explicit formula
If we consider this version of the prime-counting function
$$\pi_0(x) = \frac{1}{2} \lim_{h\to 0} (\pi(x+h) + \pi(x-h))$$
(with $\pi$ being the normal prime-counting function), then we can write $\...

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}=...
