We study the values taken by the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta$ on discrete sets. We show that infinite vertical arithmetic progressions are uniquely determined by the values of $\zeta$ taken on this set. Moreover, we prove a joint discrete…

We study a family of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$ whose periods are linear forms in the zeta values $\zeta(n)$. They naturally include the Beukers-Rhin-Viola integrals for $\zeta(2)$ and the Ball-Rivoal linear forms in odd zeta…

We show the estimates \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^{-1} dt =e^{-\gamma}/4 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) and \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)| dt =e^{-\gamma} \pi^2/24 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) as well as corresponding results for…

Using elementary methods we find surprising connections between the values of the Riemann Zeta Function over integers and the fractional parts of rational powers, and a connection between the Riemann Zeta Function and the Prime Zeta…

An explicit subconvex bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$ is proved. Previous subconvex bounds relied on an incorrect version of the Kusmin-Landau lemma. After accounting for the needed correction…

We present a hypergeometric construction of rational approximations to $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ which allows one to demonstrate simultaneously the irrationality of each of the zeta values, as well as to estimate from below certain linear…

It is proved that $$\int_{T}^{2T} \left|\frac{\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+{\rm i} t\right)}{\zeta\left(1+2{\rm i} t\right)}\right|^2 {\rm d} t = \frac{1}{\zeta(2)} T \log T + \left( \frac{\log \frac{2}{\pi} + 2\gamma -1 }{\zeta(2)} -4…

This article considers linear relations between the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function. The main application is an alternative disproof to Mertens' conjecture. We show that $\limsup M(x)x^{-1/2} \geq 1.6383$ and that $\liminf…

The secondary zeta function $Z(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\alpha_n^{-s}$, where $\rho_n=\frac12+i\alpha_n$ are the zeros of zeta with $\Im(\rho)>0$, extends to a meromorphic function on the hole complex plane. If we assume the Riemann hypothesis…

In this paper, we use the Thue-Morse sequence and the paperfolding sequence to build a Dirichlet series that evaluates to a linear combination of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers and odd powers of $\pi$. In doing so, we…

The multiple zeta values are multivariate generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. The Bowman-Bradley theorem asserts that the multiple zeta values at the sequences obtained by inserting a fixed…

In this article, we introduce a recurrence formula which only involves two adjacent values of the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments. Based on the formula, an algorithm to evaluate $\zeta$-values(i.e. the values of Riemann zeta…

We present here an approach to a computation of $\zeta(2)$ by changing variables in the double integral using hyperbolic trig functions. We also apply this approach to present $\zeta(n)$, when $n>2$, as a definite improper integral of…

Levinson and Montgomery proved that the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ and its derivative have approximately the same number of non-real zeros left of the critical line. R. Spira showed that $\zeta'(1/2+it)=0$ implies $\zeta(1/2+it)=0$.…
