We show that if the derivative of the Riemann zeta function has sufficiently many zeros close to the critical line, then the zeta function has many closely spaced zeros. This gives a condition on the zeros of the derivative of the zeta…

Let $K$ be a quadratic number field and $\zeta_K(s)$ be the associated Dedekind zeta-function. We show that there are infinitely many normalized gaps between consecutive zeros of $\zeta_K(s)$ on the critical line which are greater than…

We prove that there exist infinitely many consecutive zeros of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line whose gaps are greater than $3.18$ times the average spacing. Using a modification of our method, we also show that there are even…

This paper studies the local spacings of deformations of the Riemann zeta function under certain averaging and differencing operations. For real h it considers A_h(s)= 1/2(xi(s+h)+ xi(s-h)) and B_h(s)=1/(2i)(xi(s+h)-xi(s-h)), where xi(s) is…

Let $-D < -4$ denote a fundamental discriminant which is either odd or divisible by 8, so that the canonical Hecke character of $\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ exists. Let $d$ be a fundamental discriminant prime to $D$. Let $2k-1$ be an odd natural…

We give a conditional lower bound on the number of non-trivial simple zeros for the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_{K}(s)$, where $K$ is a quadratic number field. The conditional result is given by assuming a Lindel\"of on average (in the…

Assuming the existence of a sequence of exceptional discriminants of quadratic fields, we show that a hundred percent of zeros of the Riemann zeta function are on the critical line in specific segments. This is a special case of a more…

Let $d$ be a square-free positive integer and $h(d)$ the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}{(\sqrt{d})}.$ In this paper we give an explicit lower bound for $h(n^2+r)$, where $r=1,4$, and also establish an equivalent…

Let $Q$ be a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients and let $E(s,Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function associated with $Q$. Assume that the class number of $Q$ is bigger than $1$. Then we estimate the number of zeros of…

We settle a conjecture of Farmer and Ki in a stronger form. Roughly speaking we show that there is a positive proportion of small gaps between consecutive zeros of the zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ if and only if there is a positive proportion…

In these lectures we first review the important properties of the Riemann $\zeta$-function that are necessary to understand the nature and importance of the Riemann hypothesis (RH). In particular this first part describes the analytic…

We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

We prove an upper bound on the density of zeros very close to the critical line of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions of modulus $q$ at height $T$. To do this, we derive an asymptotic for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet…

Let $E(s, Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function attached to a positive definite quadratic form of discriminant $D<0$, such that $h(D)\geq 2$, where $h(D)$ is the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$. We denote by…

Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling-Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of…

For $0 < a \le 1/2$, we define the quadrilateral zeta function $Q(s,a)$ using the Hurwitz and periodic zeta functions and show that $Q(s,a)$ satisfies Riemann's functional equation studied by Hamburger, Heck and Knopp. Moreover, we prove…

It is commonly believed that the normalized gaps between consecutive ordinates $t_n$ of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line can be arbitrarily large. In particular, drawing on analogies with random matrix theory, it…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive zeros of the Riemann zeta-function whose gaps are greater than 2.9 times the average spacing.

In this paper, we prove a one level density result for the low-lying zeros of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic number fields of class number one. As a corollary, we deduce, essentially, that at least $(19-\cot (1/4))/16…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we show that infinitely often consecutive non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function differ by at most 0.5155 times the average spacing and infinitely often they differ by at least 2.69 times the average…
