In the present paper we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition to prove the Riemann hypothesis in terms of certain properties of local extrema of the function $\Xi(t)=\xi(\tfrac{1}{2}+it)$. First, we prove that positivity of all local…

We study solutions of Hamilton--Jacobi equations of the form $$\lambda \alpha(x) u_\lambda(x) + H(x, D_x u_\lambda) = c,$$ where $\alpha$ is a nonnegative function, $\lambda$ a positive constant, $c$ a constant and $H $ a convex coercive…

Given a strongly local Dirichlet space and $\lambda\geq 0$, we introduce a new notion of $\lambda$--subharmonicity for $L^1_\loc$--functions, which we call \emph{local $\lambda$--shift defectivity}, and which turns out to be equivalent to…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of all primes and $\psi(n)=n\prod_{n\in \mathcal{P},p|n}(1+1/p)$ be the Dedekind psi function. We show that the Riemann hypothesis is satisfied if and only if $f(n)=\psi(n)/n-e^{\gamma} \log \log n <0$ for all…

Two decades ago, Lieb and Loss proposed to approximate the ground state energy of a free, nonrelativistic electron coupled to the quantized radiation field by the infimum $E_{\alpha, \Lambda}$ of all expectation values $\langle \phi_{el}…

Let $\Theta$ denote the supremum of the real parts of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We demonstrate that $\Theta=1$, which entails the existence of infinitely many Riemann zeros off the critical line (thus disproving the Riemann…

Four propositions are considered concerning the relationship between the zeros of two combinations of the Riemann zeta function and the function itself. The first is the Riemann hypothesis, while the second relates to the zeros of a…

A strategy for proving Riemann hypothesis is suggested. The vanishing of the Rieman Zeta reduces to an orthogonality condition for the eigenfunctions of a non-Hermitian operator $D^+$ having the zeros of Riemann Zeta as its eigenvalues. The…

By way of a complete integration of the Friedmann equations, in terms of observables, it is shown that for the cosmological constant $\Lambda > 0$ there exist non-flat FLRW models for which the total density parameter $\Omega$ remains $\sim…

Exact and asymptotic formulae are displayed for the coefficients $\lambda_n$ used in Li's criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular, we argue that if (and only if) the Hypothesis is true, $\lambda_n \sim n(A \log n +B)$ for $n \to…

We study an ergodic problem associated to a non-local Hamilton-Jacobi equation defined on the whole space $\lambda-\mathcal{L}[u](x)+|Du(x)|^m=f(x)$ and determine whether (unbounded) solutions exist or not. We prove that there is a…

We prove that if $u\in C^0(B_1)$ satisfies $F(x,D^2u) \le 0$ in $B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, in the viscosity sense, for some fully nonlinear $(\lambda, \Lambda)$-elliptic operator, then $u \in W^{2,\varepsilon}(B_{1/2})$, with appropriate…

This paper studies the integral of the Riemann xi-function. More generally, it studies a one-parameter family of functions given by Fourier integrals and satisfying a functional equation. Members of this family are shown to have only…

We give, as $L$ grows to infinity, an explicit lower bound of order $L^{n/m}$ for the expected Betti numbers of the vanishing locus of a random linear combination of eigenvectors of $P$ with eigenvalues below $L$. Here, $P$ denotes an…

We consider Gomory and Johnson's infinite group model with a single row. Valid inequalities for this model are expressed by valid functions and it has been recently shown that any valid function is dominated by some nonnegative valid…

For a non-negative separable random field $Z(t), t\in \mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying some mild assumptions we show that \begin{eqnarray*} H_Z^\delta = \lim_{T\to\infty} \frac{1}{T^d} E \{\sup_{ t\in [0,T]^d \cap \delta \mathbb{Z}^d } Z(t) \}…

Let $0<\gamma_1\leq \gamma_2\leq \ldots$ denote the positive ordinates of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. A result first announced by Selberg states that there exist absolute constants $\Theta, \vartheta>0$ such that for…

It is proved that as $T \to \infty$, uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log_3 T) / (\log_4 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant \big(\mathbf…

We investigate the diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi equation $$u_t-\Lap u = |\nabla u|^p$$ with $p>1$, in a smooth bounded domain of $\RN$ with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and $W^{1,\infty}$ initial data. We show that all solutions…

This paper studies combinations of the Riemann zeta function, based on one defined by P.R. Taylor, which was shown by him to have all its zeros on the critical line. With a rescaled complex argument, this is denoted here by ${\cal T}_-(s)$,…
