Abstract

We consider the sum 1/γ\sum 1/\gamma, where γ\gamma ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval (0,T](0,T], and consider the behaviour of the sum as TT \to\infty. We show that, after subtracting a smooth approximation 14πlog2(T/2π),\frac{1}{4\pi} \log^2(T/2\pi), the sum tends to a limit H0.0171594H \approx -0.0171594 which can be expressed as an integral. We calculate HH to high accuracy, using a method which has error O((logT)/T2)O((\log T)/T^2). Our results improve on earlier results by Hassani and other authors.
