Abstract

We investigate Riemann's xi function ξ(s):=12s(s1)πs2Γ(s2)ζ(s)\xi(s):=\frac{1}{2}s(s-1)\pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma(\frac{s}{2})\zeta(s) (here ζ(s)\zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function). The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) asserts that if ξ(s)=0\xi(s)=0, then Re(s)=12\mathrm{Re}(s)=\frac{1}{2}. P\'olya proved that RH is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of the Jensen polynomials Jd,n(X)J^{d,n}(X) constructed from certain Taylor coefficients of ξ(s)\xi(s). For each d1d\geq 1, recent work proves that Jd,n(X)J^{d,n}(X) is hyperbolic for sufficiently large nn. Here we make this result effective. Moreover, we show how the low-lying zeros of the derivatives ξ(n)(s)\xi^{(n)}(s) influence the hyperbolicity of Jd,n(X)J^{d,n}(X).
