BROUGHAN AND A. ROSS BARNETT Abstract. Each simple zero + i of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line with > 0 is a center for the flow ṡ = ξ(s) oftheriemannxi function with an associated period T n.itisshownthat,as, log T n π 4 + O(log ). Numerical evaluation leads to the conjecture that this inequality can be replaced by an equality. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a zeta zero separation conjecture + γn θ for some exponent θ>0, we obtain the upper bound log T n γn +θ. Assuming a weakened form of a conjecture of Gonek, giving a bound for the reciprocal of the derivative of zeta at each zero, we obtain the expected upper bound for the periods so, conditionally, log T n = π 4 + O(log ). Indeed, this linear relationship is equivalent to the given weakened conjecture, which implies the zero separation conjecture, provided the exponent is sufficiently large. The frequencies corresponding to the periods relate to natural eigenvalues for the Hilbert Polya conjecture. They may provide a goal for those seeking a self-adjoint operator related to the Riemann hypothesis.. Introduction If a holomorphic function of a single complex variable f(s) has a simple zero at s o which is a center for the dynamical system ṡ = f(s), then the period of an orbit encircling s o is given by πi/f (s o ) [3, Theorem.3], and, in particular, is independent of the orbit. When this is applied to the simple zeros of Riemann s function ξ(s), which lie on the critical line s = and which coincide with the simple critical zeros of ζ(s), we see that the periods {τ n =πi/ξ ( +i):ξ( +i)=0} could be of interest since each such (real) number applies to an infinite family of nested orbits. See Figure where selected periodic orbits surrounding the 7th and 8th zeros of zeta for the flow ṡ = ξ(s) are displayed. Even though the positions of the zeros on the critical line have a considerable degree of random variation, the values of the periods are quite constrained, as is illustrated numerically in Figure and partly proved in Theorem 4.: The logarithm of the absolute value of the periods varies linearly with the position of the zero.

2 89 K. A. BROUGHAN AND A. R. BARNETT Figure. Orbits around the 7th and 8th zero for ż = ξ(z). In Section the numerical evaluation is developed. Of the 500 zeta zeros studied, being those with smallest positive t coordinates, the periods always increased with increasing zero value, with four exceptions. The numerical evidence demonstrates a relationship between each period and the t-coordinate of the corresponding zero which is very close to being linear. In Section 3 some preliminary lemmas are given. In Section 4 the relationship log T n π 4 + O(log ), where T n =( ) n τ n is the absolute value of the period, is proved. An upper bound is derived subject to the Riemann Hypothesis and a plausible conjecture on zero separations. Using a weakened form of a conjecture of Gonek (which includes the Riemann Hypothesis), namely, that there exists a nonnegative real number θ such that ζ ( + i) = O( θ ) for all n N, we derive the precise upper bound and hence, conditionally, log T n = π 4 + O(log ). In Section 5 a possible significance of the periods, in the context of the Hilbert Polya conjecture, is sketched. We first define some notations. Let s = σ + it, ξ(s) =u(σ, t)+iv(σ, t). Label the simple zeros of ξ(s), with a positive t coordinate, going up the critical line as { : n N}. A particular zero + i has the corresponding period τ n = πi ξ ( + i).
3 XI PERIODS 893 Because ξ(s) is real on the critical line, v t (,t)=0,soξ ( + it) = iu t(,t). Therefore T n =π/ u t (,). Let s = + it and write the ξ definition from Section as ξ( + it) =elog Γ( s ) s/ s(s ) π ζ(s) = e R log Γ( s ) π /4 ( t +/4 ) Z(t) = Y (t) Z(t), where log Γ(s +)=(s + )logs s + c + O( s ) Z(t) =e iϑ(t) ζ( + it) ϑ(t) = t log( t π ) t π 8 + O( t ), andwherehereandinwhatfollowsthec,c,... are absolute constants.. Numerical evaluation of the periods We used the Chebyshev method of P. Borwein [] to evaluate ζ(s). Our version is described in [3, section 5] in which accuracies for the ζ-zeros γ γ 50 better than 0 0 were demonstrated. A program was written in MATLAB using the methods of Godfrey [0] for both the ζ-function and the complex Γ-function. They are available in Godfrey s MATLAB site as part of the zeta-function code. In particular, values of the gamma Slope = π / log T n Riemann zero of ξ Figure. Plot of logarithm of the period magnitudes against the Riemann zeros up to γ 50 = 84..

The value of α for the fit is 0.0. Table shows the zeros and periods for 0 <n 0, where the slope deviates slightly from π/4, as is seen in Figure 3. The rms deviation for the complete fit is.5. Table includes the zeros and periods for γ 300 = , γ 365 = 63.5, γ 447 = ,andγ 48 = , where, anomalously, we find log T n < log T n which are the only examples below γ 50 where the period decreases. These are plotted with an expanded scale in Figure 4. An alternative calculation was devised to extend the modest upper value of t 800 to t The same linear relationship was found to hold. The symbolic ζ-calculations of Maple TM were combined with Godfrey s implementation of Lanczos Γ-function method. Earlier values t 84. were confirmed. The results are presented in increments of 500 in Figure Preliminary lemmas Lemma 3.. As t R log Γ( + it )= 8 log(9 + 4t ) π 4 t + c + O( t ). Proof. This follows directly from Stirling s approximation given in Section above. Lemma 3.. As t, ϑ (t) = O(log t). Proof. This follows directly from the expression for ϑ(t) given above or see [8, Page 5].
7 XI PERIODS 897 Lemma 3.3. As t, ζ( + it) = O(t/6 log 3/ t). Proof. This is [7, Page 99]. Lemma 3.4. As t, ζ ( + it) = O(t/4 log t) and ζ ( + it) = O(t/4 log 4 t). Proof. These bounds follow from the upper bound for ζ (k) ( + it), derived using the approximate functional equation and Cauchy s integral formula for the nth derivative given in [3, Page 57], namely, ζ (k) ( + it) log k n +log k t log j n n /+it n / it n t/π j k n t/π + O(t /4 log k t). Lemma 3.5. As t, Z (t) =O(t /4 log t). Proof. This follows directly from Z(t) =e iϑ(t) ζ( using Lemmas 3. and it) after differentiating and 4. Lower and upper bounds for the linear relationship Theorem 4.. For n N, log T n π 4 + O(log ). Proof. We first have u t (,t) = ξ ( + it) and So Since Z( )=0, By Lemma 3., iξ ( + it) =Y (t)z(t)+y (t)z (t). ξ ( + i) = Y ( ) Z ( ). log u t (,) =log Y ( ) +log Z ( ). log Y (t) = R log Γ ( + it = π 4 t +log ( +4t (9 + 4t ) /8 ) ) ( ) 4 log π +log 8 + t Therefore, by Lemma 3.5, log u t (,) π 4 + O(log ), and therefore log T n π 4 + O(log ). + c 3 + O ( ). t
8 898 K. A. BROUGHAN AND A. R. BARNETT Finding upper bounds for the periods appears to be a much more difficult problem. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) and a plausible zero separation hypothesis, we make some progress on this issue. Later we show how the upper bound follows (indeed is equivalent to) a weakened form of a conjecture of Gonek. Fujii [9] has shown that there exists a λ> such that for n in a set of positive density + λ. π/ log Since [7, Page 4] πn/ log n, Fujii s result implies for all ɛ>0andn sufficiently large and in a subset of positive density that + /γn. ɛ Here we assume that for some θ>0 for all n N + γn θ, where the implied constant depends on θ, but is absolute once θ has a numerical value. Call this assumption the zero separation conjecture or ZSC. Of course, if it is true, it implies all zeros are simple. It supports the notion of Montgomery that the zeros tend to repel, but does allow zeros to be very close. In [] Gonek suggests θ =/3+ɛ might be the optimal choice. Theorem 4.. Assume RH and ZSC. Then for all n N, log T n γn +θ. Proof. Using the shifted product representation for ξ(s), ξ(z + )=ξ( ) z n N ( + γ ) n leads to the value of the derivative at a zero, u t (,) = ξ( ) ( ) u t (,) = ξ( ) j N,j n ( γ j<n j γ j ) ( γ ) n<j j = ξ( ) X n Y n, say. Because the number of zeros up to level T is less than T log T/π, it follows that X n = j<n ( + γ j γ j )( γ j ) ( ) γn log. γ j Therefore, by the assumption ZSC, () log X n (θ +) log. Also, because log( x) x/( x) for0 x<and Y n = ( γ ), then j>n j () log Y n = j>n log( γj ) j>n γ n γj.
9 XI PERIODS 899 But j>n γ j = γ j < 0 9 = S + S, say. Since, in S, γ j γn γj 9 0 γ j = 0 γ j, S γ γj 0 j 9 γj + 0 γ j 0 9 log. γ j The sum S is finite with largest term being the first, which is (+ + )(+ ) γθ n. The number of terms is bounded by 0/9 log tdt= O( log ), so S γn θ log and therefore by () (3) log Y n γn(γ n θ log + log ) γn +θ. It follows from () and (3) that log T n log u t (,) γn +θ. Gonek [] defines Θ=inf{θ : ζ ( + i) = O( θ ) for all n}. Then [] the Riemann Hypothesis implies Θ 0 and the averaged Mertens hypothesis ([7, Section 4.9]) implies Θ. Gonek, on the basis of an analogy with eigenvalue statistics for random unitary matrices, conjectures Θ = /3. Hughes, Keating and O Connell [], following Gonek, surmise that Θ = /3 is in line with Montgomery s pair correlation conjecture [4, 6], which suggests Θ /3. To summarise this heuristic argument, the pair correlation conjecture [4] statement is that for fixed a, b with 0 <a b<, ast, {(γ,γ ):0<γ,γ T, πa log T γ γ πb log T } T log T/(π) b a ( (sin πx) ) dx. πx Then a is set to 0 and b small so that the integral may be approximated by π b 3. Even though the conjecture is true for T, assuming it holds for small T leads to the inequality b T /3 so + γn /3. Finally assuming the reverse of an argument similar to that used in Theorem 4.3 below holds, we are led to suppose Θ /3. Here we assume the Riemann Hypothesis and just Θ <, namely, that there exists a θ 0 such that ζ ( + i) = O( θ ) for all n N. We call this assumption WG or weak Gonek.
10 900 K. A. BROUGHAN AND A. R. BARNETT Theorem 4.3. Assume the Riemann Hypothesis and WG. Then for all n log T n π 4 + O(log ). Proof. Using Stirling s approximation to the Gamma function with ρ n = + i, log T n = logπ log ξ ( + i) = logπ log ρ n(ρ n ) log π ρn/ log Γ(ρ n /) log ζ (ρ n ) = log Γ(/4+i /) log ζ (ρ n ) + O(log ) = π 4 +log(/ ζ (ρ n ) )+O(log ), and the result follows. The final equation in this proof can then be used to show Corollary 4.. Assume the Riemann Hypothesis. Then WG is true if and only if log T n π 4 + O(log ). Theorem 4.4. Assume the Riemann Hypothesis. Then if WG is true there exists θ > 0 such that, for all n N, +. Proof. Expand f(t) =ζ( + it), using Taylor s theorem about as far as +. There is an η between and + such that γ θ n f(+ )=f( )+if ( )( + ) f (η)( + ), so + = f ( ) / f (η). By Lemma 3.4 Hence ζ ( + iη) η/4 log 4 η γ /4 n+ log4 + γ /4 n log 4. + so we can choose θ = θ +/4+ɛ. γnγ θ n /4 log 4 γ θ+/4+ɛ n 5. Hilbert Polya conjecture The well-known approach to proving the Riemann Hypothesis, attributed to Polya and Hilbert [5], is that there is a naturally occurring Hermitian operator whose eigenvalues are the zeros of ξ( + it), which are therefore real [7, Page 345]. There have been many attempts to find such an operator [], but none so far has been completely successful. The normal interpretation of the heights of the zeros { : n N} is that they correspond to frequencies of some, to be determined, vibrating system. Consideration of the phase portraits described in [5, 6] in the light of the constancy of the period for rotation about each simple zero on the critical line [3,,
11 XI PERIODS 90 Theorem.3], gives rise to the notion that an alternative set of potential eigenvalues might be related to these periods {T n : n N} in the usual manner: f n = = λ n T n π = u t(,γ πγn n) e 4 π π, so λ i e πγ i 4. This approach has the following features: (a) The eigenvalues have a natural relationship to ζ(s). (b) The eigenvalues are the natural frequencies occurring in the flow ṡ = ξ(s). (c) The lowest zero corresponds to the largest eigenvalue and therefore to the mode of highest energy and largest frequency. This is quite natural, since the values of ξ(s) withs real and with values which are large and positive might be regarded as exerting a strong attractive pull on the flow, and would be expected to generate the greatest energy in the closest pair of zeros, in which corresponding frequencies become the fundamental modes. This attractor concept is strongly reinforced by the structure of the separatrices which all tend to the real axis [5, Theorem 3.]. This is much more satisfactory than the normal approach in which the energy increases as the distance away from the real axis increases.
