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.
A new bound limits the number of zeros to the right of a fixed vertical line.

An unconditional asymptotic lower bound k₀ = 3/2 − cot(1/√2)/√2 holds for simple critical-line zeros relative to total multiplicity.

The paper credits Claude (Anthropic) with discovery and writing; Alpöge and Furman with verification, Jarred Sumner with guiding the investigation, and Eric Easley with orchestrating Lean formalization. Company attribution is source-reported, not independently reproduced here.
Lamzouri gives another proof of the same k₀ bound.

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.
