Equivalence · version 1

Equivalent formulation: Λ = 0

Earlier version 1. View current version 3 →

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.

Equivalent formulation · Open

Neither the lower bound Λ ≥ 0 nor a positive upper bound supplies Λ = 0. These are formulations of one Problem, not separate RH problems.

Relationship not independently reviewed. This concerns its use in this problem.
