Nonnegative trigonometric polynomials and a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta-function

Number Theory 2014-10-16 v1

Abstract

We prove that the Riemann zeta-function ζ(σ+it)\zeta(\sigma + it) has no zeros in the region σ11/(5.573412logt)\sigma \geq 1 - 1/(5.573412 \log|t|) for t2|t|\geq 2. This represents the largest known zero-free region within the critical strip for 3.061010<t<exp(10151.5)3.06\cdot10^{10} < |t|<\exp(10151.5). Our improvements result from determining some favorable trigonometric polynomials having particular properties, and from analyzing the error term in the method of Kadiri. We also improve an upper bound in a question of Landau regarding nonnegative trigonometric polynomials.
