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.

Relationship statement · Proved · version 3
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.
Scope: The equivalence is a theorem; whether the constant is zero remains the unresolved target.
Relationship not independently reviewed.
Connection in Riemann hypothesis →Relationship not independently reviewed. This concerns its use in this problem.
