2 H Ki Introduction The Riemann hypothesis RH states that the real part of any nonreal zero of the Riemann zeta function ζ s is/ A Speiser [4] has a theorem which says that RH is equivalent to the nonexistence of nonreal zeros of s inres < / We let ρ = β + iγ denote a zero of s where a sum over ρ is repeated according to multiplicity N Levinson and H L Montgomery [9] proved that for nonreal zeros of s, the average value of β with 0 <γ T is / + log log T/ log T But it is likely that β / is usually of the order / log T rather than log log T/ log T By a result of B C Berndt [], the number of zeros with ordinates less than T is 0<γ T = T π log T + Olog T 4πe Under RH, K Soundararajan [3] demonstrated the presence of a positive proportion of zeros of s in the region σ</ + ν/ log T for all ν 6 A positive proportion of zeros means lim inf T T π log T #{ρ : β / + ν/ log T,0<γ T} > 0 We introduce further results related to the theorem of K Soundararajan We arrange the zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ s in the upper half-plane as ρ, ρ, with ρ n = β n + iγ n and 0 <γ γ, where a zero of multiplicity m appears precisely m times in this sequence RH is that β n = / for any n =,, 3, If two zeros ρ n ρ n have the same imaginary part, then n < n implies β n <β n Fora > 0, define D a = lim inf T T π log T # { n : γ n T, γ n+ γ n < a } log T In his remarkable work, Y Zhang [6] showed that not only unconditionally does there exist some ν>0 such that a positive proportion of zeros of s are in the region σ / <ν/log T, but also assuming RH and D a > 0 for any a > 0, that ν can be

3 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 3 arbitrary small Recently, Feng [4] proved Zhang s conditional result assuming only the same hypothesis for D a Thus it is very probable that lim inf β / log γ = 0 Assuming the truth of RH, K Soundararajan [3] conjectured that the following two statements are equivalent: lim infβ / log γ = 0; lim infγ + γ logγ = 0, where γ + is the least ordinate of a zero of ζ s with γ + >γ Y Zhang [6] has shown that implies as follows Theorem A Assume RH Let α and α be positive constants satisfying α < π and α >α α π If ρ = / + iγ is a zero of ζ s such that γ is sufficiently large and γ + γ<α log γ, then there exists a zero ρ of s such that ρ ρ <α log γ In this paper, we consider the converse of Theorem A Namely, is it true that implies? M Z Garaev and C Y Yildirim [6] proved a weaker form of the converse; if we assume RH and lim infβ / log γ log log γ = 0, then we have lim inf n γ n+ γ n logγ n = 0 In this article, we prove the following Theorem Assume RH Then the following are equivalent: lim infβ / log γ 0; For any c > 0ands = σ + it with 0 < σ / < c/ log t t > t 0 c, we have ζ s = + Olog t, s ρ where ρ = / + iγ is the zero of ζ closest to s and to the origin, if there are two such

4 4 H Ki Corollary Assume RH and lim infβ / log γ 0 Then for any c > 0ands = σ + it t > t c, we have ζ s = Olog t σ uniformly for / + c/ log t σ σ < Based on our theorems and Soundararajan s conjecture, we speculate as follows Conjecture Assume RH Then the following are equivalent: i For any c > 0ands = σ + it with t > t c, we have ζ s = Olog t σ uniformly for / + c/ log t σ σ < ; ii The negation of ii, ie lim infγ + γ logγ 0 It is known from [, p 99] and [5, Theorem 96A] that for t 0 and σ, one has ζ s = γ t + Olog t, s ρ where the sum is over the ordinates of the complex zeros ρ = β + iγ of ζ s Under RH, one gets ζ s = γ t / + Olog t s ρ Cf [5, p ] Formula and its proof suggest that formula in Theorem is very unrealistic Concerning Corollary, it is worth noting that, under RH, ζ s = Olog t σ 3

5 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 5 holds uniformly for / + c/ σ σ <, where t 0, c > 0and O depends upon c and σ For the proof, we apply the fact [5, 445] log t Re z log ζ z = O 4 on s z =c/ to the formula s ζ s = πi c s z = loglogt log ζ z s z dz We immediately get equation 3 Note that the same method does not work when / + c/ log t σ σ <, because on s z =c/ log t we lack equation 4 It seems very likely that on Re s = / + c/ log t, s Olog t ζ On the other hand, Corollary follows from a Phragmén Lindelöf argument, anytime one does know that s = Olog t ζ on Re s = / + c/ log t t 0 We find the behavior of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function near Re s = / subtle, and so we need a deep observation about the Riemann zeta function near the critical line to establish lim infβ / log γ = 0 In fact, we will see from Theorem 4 in Section that the behavior of s/ζ s onres = / + c/ log t is very much related to 0< γ γ < γ γ, where / + iγ,/ + i γ are complex zeros of ζ s and the sum is over γ

6 6 H Ki From Corollary, we can demonstrate the following Corollary Assume RH and lim infβ / log γ 0 Then for any c > 0ands = σ + it t > t c, we have log t σ log ζ s = O uniformly for / + c/ log t σ σ < Assuming RH, it is known from [5, p ] and [5, Theorem 44B] that for any c > 0ands = σ + it t 0, we have that log t σ log ζ s = O 5 holds uniformly for / + c/ σ σ <, and there exists an absolute constant c > 0 depending on c such that c log t log σ < log ζ s < c log t 6 holds for / <σ / + c/ ; log t arg ζ s = O 7 holds uniformly for / σ / + c/ However, as in the proof of equation 3, one cannot relax the condition / + c/ ofequation5as/ + c/ log t t On the other hand, we have -theorems related to log ζ s near the critical line For these, we refer to Montgomery s results [] and[5, p 09] In particular, Montgomery showed that assuming RH, for / σ<and any real θ, there is a t with T /6 t T such that Re e iθ log ζ s 0 log T σ log log T σ

7 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 7 See [, p 5] Recently, from random matrix theory, in the case that θ = 0 in the above -result, it is conjectured in [3] that we have the following: max t [0,T] ζ + it = exp + o log T log log T Concerning negative values of log ζ s, we observe that by equations 6 and 7, it is possible that we have log ζ + log t + it >ψt log t for some arbitrarily large values of t, where ψt as t A sharp -result like this implies lim infβ / log γ = 0 We note that such an estimate will follow if we show that equation 5 does not hold uniformly for / + / log t σ / + / We apply our theorem to mean values of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function T σ + it ζ dt 0 for σ = / + a/ log T One gets the following from a result of A Selberg [, equation ] Theorem B Assume RH Then T σ + it ζ 0 dt 4a T log T holds, where σ = / + a/ log T and a, a = olog T Going further, we follow Montgomery [0], and let F α, T = T π log T 0<γ, γ T T iαγ γ wγ γ, where β + iγ and β + i γ are zeros of ζ s andwu = 4 4+u Montgomery conjectured that for any fixed A >, F α, T uniformly for α A MH

8 8 H Ki Under RH, D A Goldston, S M Gonek, and H L Montgomery [7] considered T 0 σ + it ζ dt for σ = / + a/ log T as a 0 and proved the following, provided that MH is valid Theorem C Assume RH and MH Then T 0 σ + it ζ dt a T log T holds, where σ = / + a/ log T and a = at 0 sufficiently slowly as T Corresponding to Theorem C, we have the following theorem Theorem Assume RH and lim infβ / log γ 0 Then T 0 σ + it ζ dt = a T log T logπe log T + O a log + O a T holds, where σ = / + a/ log T and a 0 Here O does not depend upon a and T MH implies Montgomery s pair correlation conjecture; that is, 0<γ, γ T 0<γ γ πβ/ log T T β [ π log T 0 sin πu πu ] du Accordingly, MH automatically yields lim infγ + γ logγ = 0 Assuming RH, Theorem A says that lim infβ / log γ 0 implies lim infγ + γ logγ 0

9 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 9 Thus the assumptions of Theorem C and Theorem are contradictory to each other However, we have the similar conclusion in Theorem C and Theorem Further, a theorem of D A Goldston, S M Gonek, and H L Montgomery [7, Theorem 3] says the following Theorem D Assume RH Then for σ = / + a/ log T and any fixed a > 0, T 0 σ + it ζ dt e a T log T 4a holds, as T if and only if the pair correlation conjecture is true Combining Theorem B and Theorem, we immediately have the following Theorem 3 Assume RH and lim infβ / log γ 0 Then for σ = / + a/ log T, T 0 σ + it ζ dt e a T log T 4a holds, where a 0ora and a = olog T Theorem D and Theorem 3 are, of course, similar However, the conclusion of Theorem D says a much stronger statement than that of Theorem 3 This is perhaps not too surprising since, by Theorem A, we know that the pair correlation conjecture implies lim infβ / log γ = 0 Proofs of Theorem and Corollaries and First, we state a basic fact Lemma Let T > 0 Then we have that the number of zeros of ζ s in0< Im s T is <γ n T = T π log T + Olog T; πe the number of zeros of ζ s int Im s T + isolog T

10 0 H Ki For Lemma, see [, p 98] and [5, Theorem 94] Lemma immediately follows from equation We start with the following theorem Theorem 4 Assume RH and lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n > 0 Then the following three statements are equivalent A lim infβ / log γ > 0 B Let c > 0ands = σ + it For sufficiently large n, wehave ζ s = s ρ n + Olog t, C where γ n +γ n < t γ n++γ n and σ / < c/ log γ n lim sup M n / log γ n <, where M n = 0< γ m γ n γ n γ m Proof of Theorem 4 We may assume that all but finitely many nontrivial zeros of ζ s are simple and on Re s = /, because we assume RH and lim infγ n+ γ n log γ n > 0 C B We recall that ζ s = Olog t + γ t s ρ for Re s andt Lemma Let δ>0 Suppose that lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n >δthenwehave γ n γ m = O log γ n δ m n for sufficiently large n

11 Proof of Lemma We write m n γ m γ n = The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function γ m γ n > γ m γ n + 0< γ m γ n γ m γ n 8 = I + II 9 By Lemma, the number of the γ n between t and t + isolog t fort > Then for some C > 0, we get I = C k= γ n +k<γ m γ n +k+ k= C logγ n + k k + k= log γ n + log k k γ m γ n + γ n k> + C k= γ n k γ m <γ n k γ m γ n 0 C logγ n k k k= log γ n k = Olog γ n By the assumption of Lemma, there exists a positive integer n such that γ m+ γ m Using this, for sufficiently large n, we have γ n+k γ n δ log γ m for all m n k δ logγ n + k δ logγ n for γ n+k γ n and k By Lemma, there exists a > 0 such that k a log γ n Thus we get II kδ k a log γ n log γ n < k= = O kδ log γ n log γ n δ We apply this inequality and equation to equation and obtain γ m γ n = O log γ n δ m n for sufficiently large n This proves Lemma

12 H Ki Lemma 3 Choose c > 0 such that lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n > c Define M n t by M n t = 0< γ m γ n t γ m for γ n + c / log γ n t γ n+ c / log γ n Thenwehave M n t = Olog t, where the implied constant is absolute Proof of Lemma 3 Since M n t = 0< γ m γ n < t γ m < 0, M n t is decreasing Thus it suffices to consider the endpoints for the proof By Lemma, assumption C in Theorem 4, and the fact [5, Theorem 9] that the gaps between ordinates of successive zeros tend to 0, we have M n γ n+ c = log γ n γ 0< γ m γ n n+ γ m c log γ n = γ 0< γ m γ n+ n+ γ m c + Olog γ n log γ n = γ 0< γ m γ n+ n+ γ m c + log γ n γ n+ γ m M n+ + Olog γ n = O + Olog γ log γ n γ 0< γ m γ n+ < n+ γ m n+ = Olog γ n Similarly, we have M n γ n + c = Olog γ n log γ n Lemma 3 follows

13 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 3 Using equation, Lemma, Lemma 3, and C, for ρ n = / + iγ n and s = σ + it t 0, we get ζ s = s ρ n + = s ρ n + = s ρ n + ρ ρn 0< γ t 0< γ m t 0< γ m γ n + Olog t s ρ s ρ m + γm γn > 0< γm t + O s ρ m s ρ m + Olog t 0< γ t + Olog t = + s ρ n s ρ 0< γ m γ n m it γ m + M nt + Olog t i = + O σ + Olog t s ρ n γ m n m γ n in σ / < c/ log γ n By this and Lemma, B follows B A We need the following lemma for this Lemma 4 Assume RH and lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n > 0 Let δ be such that 0 < δ <δ where δ is as in Lemma Suppose β + iγ = 0 for sufficiently large γ If γ γ n δ/ log γ for all n, thenwehave log γ + O = O β log γ δ Proof of Lemma 4 Using formula 8 in [, p 80], we have Re s ζ s = log π Re s s Ɣ Re + Ɣ s + + Re s ρ, 3 where ρ runs through all complex zeros of ζ s We note that any complex zero ρ of ζ s is either / + iγ n or / iγ n for some n, provided that RH is true We assumed that for any n, γ n γ > ρ δ logγ 4

14 4 H Ki By equation 3 we obtain that for s = β + iγ, we get Re ρ s ρ = log π + Re s + s Ɣ Re + Ɣ s + 5 Applying the standard fact [, p73] Ɣ s Ɣs = log s + O, args π >θ>0 s to equation 5, we obtain Re s ρ = log t + O 6 ρ We have Re s ρ = β ρ n= β + γ γ n + β β + γ + γ n β = n= β + γ γ n + O β Thus, by this and equation 6, we obtain log γ β + O = O 7 γ γ n= n Using equation 4 and Lemma, we have n= β γ γ n = O β We insert this to equation 7 and then we get log γ + O = O β log γ δ log γ δ This proves Lemma 4

15 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 5 Suppose lim infβ / log γ = 0 Then this and Lemma 4 imply that we have sequences ɛ k, ρ nk,and ρ k such that ρ nk = / + iγ nk, ρ k = 0, ρ k ρ n k < ɛ k log γ nk and ɛ k 0 ɛ k > 0 8 Using B we get Thus we obtain that for some c > 0, ρ k ρ n k + Olog γ nk = 0 ρ k ρ n k > c log γ nk Note that c does not depend on ɛ k s By this and equation 8, we obtain ɛ k log γ nk > c log γ nk But this is a contradiction, since ɛ k 0andc > 0 is a fixed real number Thus A follows A C Suppose We rewrite equation as ζ s = 0< γ m γ n lim sup M n log γ n = s ρ m + s ρ n + Olog γ n where we will take s ρ n ɛ/log γ n,withɛ an arbitrarily small positive real number For such s, it follows that s ρ n ζ s s ρ n 0< γ m γ n s ρ m = + O s ρ n log γ n = + Oɛ

16 6 H Ki Since we are assuming that lim sup M n log γ n =,wehave + Oɛ < ɛ log γ n M n +u log γ n, with any real constant u, for infinitely many n Hence for such n and for s ρ n ɛ/log γ n,weobtain s ρ n ζ s s ρ n 0< γ m γ n s ρ m < ɛ M n +ulog γ n log γ n As in the proof of C B, using Lemma when s ρ n ɛ/log γ n,wehave 0< γ m γ n M n s ρ m i ɛ δ log γ n So, with an appropriate constant u the above estimate gives u ɛ, we obtain δ s ρ n ζ s s ρ n s ρ m < s ρ n s ρ m 0< γ m γ n 0< γ m γ n on s ρ n =ɛ/log γ n for infinitely many n Wenotethat s ρ n 0< γ m γ n s ρ m has a zero at s = ρ n Thus Rouché s theorem implies that for some s in s ρ n <ɛ/log γ n, s ρ n ζ s = 0, that is, s = 0 Therefore lim infβ / log γ = 0 Hence A implies C We have completed the proof of Theorem 4 Now we prove Theorem and Corollaries and Proof of Theorem Assume that lim infβ / log γ 0

17 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 7 Then RH implies that lim infβ / log γ is positive Then by Theorem A, we obtain lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n > 0 Thus by Theorem 4, we have Assume that equation is true If there exist multiple zeros for ζ s, we immediately get a contradiction from equation Thus all zeros of ζ s are simple Suppose that lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n = 0 Then there exists a sequence of natural numbers n k with n k < n k+ such that γ nk + γ nk logγ nk 0, as k Using equation, we have ζ s = + Olog t s ρ nk + = + Olog t s ρ nk at s = / + iγ nk + + γ nk / By this, we obtain or = O log γ nk s ρ nk + s ρ nk γ nk + γ nk = O log γ nk Namely, we have γnk + γ nk log γnk = O This is a contradiction, for lim k γ nk + γ nk logγ nk = 0 Hence by Theorem 4, we have Thus Theorem follows

18 8 H Ki have Proof of Corollary Assume equation We fix c > 0 Then by Theorem 4B, we s = Olog t +3 9 ζ on σ = / + c/log t +3 Using this, it is not hard to see that Corollary follows from a Phragmén Lindelöf argument We give the detailed proof for convenience For the following version of the Phragmén Lindelöf Theorem, we refer to [8, pp ] Phragmén Lindelöf Theorem Let G be an unbounded simply connected region and let f be an analytic function on G Suppose that ϕ is analytic and bounded on G, and never zero Assume that G = A B and that a for every a A, lim sup s a fs M; b for every b B { }and η>0, lim sup s b fs ϕs η M Then fs M for all s in G G = We define sets G and G by { s C : σ } + c log t +3 and G ={s C :0 σ + c, t } We define G by G = G C G We note that G We define fs by fs = s ζ slogs for s G Then fs is analytic on the region G We choose ϕs = exp s Clearly, the function ϕ : G C is an analytic function which never vanishes and is bounded on G By equation 9, there exists M > 0 such that we have fs M 0 on the boundary G

19 The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function 9 Claim Assume RH We have ζ s = Olog t +3 s = σ + it G Proof of Claim We may suppose σ<andt 0 Using Lemma, equation, and the fact that σ / c/ log t +3 for s G, we get ζ s = t γ < s ρ + Olog t = O log t t γ < + Olog t = O log t Thus the claim follows Let η>0 Then by the claim, we conclude that in G we have lim sup fs ϕs η = O s lim sup log r exp r η r cos π 4 = 0 With this and equation 0, we see that the functions f and ϕ fulfill the conditions of Phragmén Lindelöf theorem Hence fs M for s G Namely, we obtain s = Olog s ζ for s G In particular, we have s = Olog t ζ uniformly for / + c/ log t σ / + c/ t 0 From this, equation 3, and the fact that for / + c/ log t σ / + c/, log t = O log t σ, we complete the proof of Corollary

20 0 H Ki Proof of Corollary Using equation 5 and Corollary, we have σ σ + it log ζ s = log ζ σ + it σ log t σ σ = O log t σ = O log t σ = O + O + O ζ σ + it d σ σ log t σ d σ log t σ for / + c/ log t σ σ Thus we have proved Corollary 3 Proof of Theorem We let T > andσ = / + a/ log T for a small a We set a n = γ n + γ n Theorem 4 implies that under the assumptions for Theorem, we obtain that for s = σ + it and n =, 3,, ζ s = s ρ n + Olog t 3 for 0 σ / < / log γ n and a n < t a n+ Wewrite T σ + it ζ dt = an+ σ + it n n a n ζ = I + II + O, T dt + σ + it a n ζ dt + O + where a n + < T < a n + Using equation 3, it is easy to see that II = T a n + + Olog T log T σ / + it γ dt = O n + a + olog T

21 We insert equation 3 into I and then we get I = n n = <γ n <T an+ a n O log T The Zeros of the Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function + Olog T σ / + it γ n dt 3 γ σ / tan n+ γ n σ / + 33 <γ n <T log + γ n+ γ n + O T log T 34 σ / Since lim infγ n+ γ n logγ n > 0, there is α>0 such that γ n+ γ n σ / α a is large as a 0 Using this, Lemma, and the fact that tan x = π + O/x as x, we get <γ n <T tan γ n+ γ n σ / = T 4 log T + OaT log T + Olog T 35 πe We recall that there exists A > 0 such that { # n :0<γ n T, γ n+ γ n λ } = O T log Te Aλ log λ 4, log T uniformly for λ For this we refer to [5]and[5, p 46] Using this formula and Lemma, we can see that <γ n <T log + γ n+ γ n = O T log T σ / m= = O T log T log a log + m e Am log m 4 a We insert this and equation 33 into equation 3 and then we obtain I = a T log T logπe a T log T + O log a T log T + O log T a
