Conjecture · version 2

the square-root prime-counting error holds

Statement

π(x) = Li(x) + O(√x log x) as x → ∞.

Assumptions

  • π(x) counts rational primes ≤ x; Li is the logarithmic integral.
  • A fixed implied constant for all sufficiently large real x.

Scope

An open target equivalent to classical RH, stronger than the prime number theorem.

Equivalent statements

The established equivalence joins two open formulations of the same classical question.

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.

Relationship statement · Proved · version 3

RH holds if and only if π(x) = Li(x) + O(√x log x) as x → ∞, where π counts primes and Li denotes the logarithmic integral.

  • Classical prime-counting function for rational primes.
  • The big-O assertion is for all sufficiently large real x, with one fixed implied constant.

Scope: An equivalent formulation of the same canonical question.
