Bound · version 2

Fewer possible zeros to the right of a fixed line

Statement

For fixed 3/4 ≤ σ < 1, let N(σ,T) count zeta zeros with Re ρ ≥ σ and |Im ρ| ≤ T, with multiplicity. Then N(σ,T) ≤ T^(15(1−σ)/(3+5σ)+o(1)) as T → ∞; combining classical estimates also gives T^(30(1−σ)/13+o(1)).

Assumptions

  • Fix σ in [3/4,1); let T tend to infinity.
  • Unconditional large-value and analytic estimates; no RH assumption.

Scope

This selection states the theorem on a conservative subrange of its domain. The o(1) tends to zero with T, for fixed σ.

Bound · Proved

A zero-density estimate constrains how numerous zeros in a region can be. RH requires their absence at every Re ρ > 1/2.

Scope: The Guth–Maynard estimate improves quantitative bounds on possible zeros away from the critical line.

Limit: An upper bound on the number of zeros is not proof that there are none; the selected estimate leaves the strip just right of 1/2 untreated.

This counts zeros in a horizontal-position range, whereas the proportion bound counts simple zeros on the line.

Lamzouri gives a human-authored proof inspired by the Claude result. Appendix A reports AxiomProver (Axiom Math) autoformalization; this is a different role from discovering the original bound.
