Abstract

Study of the level curves the real part of η(s)=0\eta(s)=0 and imaginary part of η(s)=0\eta(s)=0, for η(s)=πs/2Γ(s/2)ζ(s)\eta(s)=\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta^\prime(s) gives a new classification of the zeros of ζ(s)\zeta(s) and of ζ(s)\zeta^\prime(s). Numerical evidence indicates that the statistics of the gaps (between zeros of ζ\zeta), or distance from the critical line (for zeros of ζ\zeta^\prime) is related to the classification. Theorem 6 gives the full conjecture of Soundararajan for the zeros we classify as type 2. We assume the Riemann Hypothesis throughout.

Comments

Completely revised and expanded since the 2020 version. Study of the level curves of eta(s) gives a new classification of the zeros of zeta(s) and its derivative. Numerical evidence indicates that the statistics of the gaps, or distance from the critical line is related to the classification. Theorem 6 gives the conjecture of Soundararajan for the zeros we classify as type 2
