Analyzing Riemann's hypothesis
Abstract
In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of Riemann's hypothesis, dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. We use the functional equation for complex numbers such that and the reduction to the absurd method where we use an analytical study based on a complex function and its modulus as a real function of two real variables in combination with a deep numerical analysis to show that the real part of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function is equal to to the best of our resources. This is done in two steps. Firstly, we show what would happen if we assumed that the real part of has a value between and but different from arriving at a possible contradiction for the zeros. Secondly assuming that there is no real value such that by applying the rules of logic to negate a quantifier and the corresponding Morgan's law we also arrive to a plausible contradiction. Finally, we analyze what conditions should be satisfied by such that . While these results are valid to the best of our numerical calculations, we do not observe and foresee any tendency for a change. Our findings open the way towards assessing the validity of Riemman's hypothesis from a fresh and new mathematical perspective.
