With the help of this equation we prove that finding non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function outside the critical line would be equivalent to the existence of complex numbers for which equation (5.1) in the paper holds. Such a condition is studied, and the attempt of proving the Riemann hypothesis is found to involve also the functional equation (6.26), where t is a real variable bigger than or equal to 1 and n is any natural number. The limiting behavior of the solutions as t approaches 1 is then studied in detail.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-07T13:46:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06" ], "keywords": [ "riemann hypothesis", "analytic approach", "functional equation", "riemann zeta-function outside", "complex numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
