Equivalence · version 3

RH is equivalent to Λ = 0

Statement

For the classical de Bruijn–Newman constant, RH is equivalent to Λ = 0. Λ is defined by H_t(z) = ∫₀∞ exp(tu²) Φ(u) cos(zu) du, using the classical Riemann kernel Φ and normalization in the cited paper; all H_t zeros are real exactly when t ≥ Λ.

Assumptions

  • Classical heat-flow family.
  • Use the proved Rodgers–Tao inequality Λ ≥ 0.

Scope

The equivalence is a theorem; whether the constant is zero remains the unresolved target.

Supporting result · Proved

The equivalence is proved. Its two target assertions remain open; proving an equivalence does not prove either target.

Equivalent statements

RH gives Λ ≤ 0; the proved Λ ≥ 0 turns this into the target Λ = 0.

Λ ≤ 0.2 and a proposed smaller positive upper bound do not reach zero.

Open · version 3

Every nontrivial zero ρ\rho of the meromorphic continuation of ζ(s)\zeta(s) has Re⁡(ρ)=12\operatorname{Re}(\rho)=\frac12.

  • Classical Riemann zeta function; nontrivial zeros in 0 < Re(s) < 1.

Scope: Every zero at every height; negative-even trivial zeros and the pole at 1 are excluded.

Open · version 2

Λ = 0 for the classical de Bruijn–Newman heat-flow family H_t and Riemann kernel defined in Rodgers–Tao §1.

  • Use exactly the classical H_t normalization of the cited paper.
  • Rodgers–Tao proves Λ ≥ 0.

Scope: A heat-flow target equivalent to classical RH; positive upper bounds leave this target open.
