Proposed result: a fixed zero-free half-plane Re(s) > 7/8

Statement

The source claims ζ(s) ≠ 0 for Re(s) > 7/8, and the same region for every Dirichlet L-function, with principal-character poles at s = 1 excluded. It also claims this for finite-order Hecke L-functions over Q(√−3).

Assumptions

  • Classical ζ and Dirichlet characters of every positive modulus.
  • For principal Dirichlet characters exclude s = 1; ζ’s pole is not a zero.
  • The source claims an unconditional theorem; OpenMath has not accepted the proof or audited the formal dependencies.

Scope

A claimed fixed half-plane, stronger than a region shrinking toward 1, but weaker than RH.

This source presents a theorem with a proposed proof. Its wording does not establish acceptance or independent mathematical review.

If validated, this would exclude zeros to the right of 7/8 at every height; it would still leave 1/2 < Re(s) ≤ 7/8 unresolved. This proposed Claim is not included in established progress.

OpenAI attributes this collection to an unreleased internal model. The zero-free-region work is an exception to the usual fixed evaluation procedure; the alternate 11/12 writeup was human-edited for readability. Do not infer a public model version or attribute individual GPT-6 submissions to this company release.
