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 of zeros of $\\zeta'(s)$ lying very closely to the half-line. Our work has applications to the Siegel zero problem. We provide a criterion for the non-existence of the Siegel zero, solely in terms of the distribution of the zeros of $\\zeta(s)$. Finally on the Riemann Hypothesis and the Pair Correlation Conjecture we obtain near optimal bounds for the number of zeros of $\\zeta'(s)$ lying very closely to the half-line. Such bounds are relevant to a deeper understanding of Levinson's method, allowing us to place one-third of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function on the half-line.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-15T06:18:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "distribution", "positive proportion", "pair correlation conjecture", "siegel zero problem", "riemann zeta-function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
