The classical criterion of Jensen for the Riemann hypothesis is that all of the associated Jensen polynomials have only real zeros. We find a new version of this criterion, using linear combinations of Hermite polynomials, and show that…

In 1927 P\'olya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ at its point of symmetry. This hyperbolicity has been proved for degrees $d\leq 3$. We…

We examine published arguments which suggest that the Riemann Hypothesis may not be true. In each case we provide evidence to explain why the claimed argument does not provide a good reason to doubt the Riemann Hypothesis. The evidence we…

We investigate Riemann's xi function $\xi(s):=\frac{1}{2}s(s-1)\pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma(\frac{s}{2})\zeta(s)$ (here $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta function). The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) asserts that if $\xi(s)=0$, then…

P\'{o}lya proved in 1927 that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of all of the Jensen polynomials of degree $d$ and shift $n$ for the Riemann Xi-function. Recently, Griffin, Ono, Rolen, and Zagier proved that for each…

There have been a number of recent works on the theory of period polynomials and their zeros. In particular, zeros of period polynomials have been shown to satisfy a "Riemann Hypothesis" in both classical settings and for cohomological…

We substantially apply the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis to hold. Based upon a series representation for the sequence \{\lambda_k\}, which are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity, we…

We prove expressions for the inequalities in Hermite's theorem which are conditions for a real polynomial to have real zeros. These expressions generalize the discriminant of a quadratic polynomial and the expression of J. Mar\'ik for a…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

This paper compares the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ with those of a symmetric combination of zeta functions, denoted ${\cal T}_+(s)$, known to have all its zeros located on the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$.…

We study infinite series expansions for the Riemann xi function $\Xi(t)$ in three specific families of orthogonal polynomials: (1) the Hermite polynomials; (2) the symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials $P_n^{(3/4)}(x;\pi/2)$; and (3) the…

Several arguments against the truth of the Riemann hypothesis are extensively discussed. These include the Lehmer phenomenon, the Davenport-Heilbronn zeta-function, large and mean values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the critical line, and zeros…
