Critical line theorem

Critical line theorem

In mathematics, the critical line theorem says that a positive proportion of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line. Following work by harvs|authorlink=G. H. Hardy|first=G. H. |last=Hardy|year=1914|txt=yes and harvs|last=Hardy|last2=Littlewood|author2-link=J. E. Littlewood|year=1921|txt=yes showing there was an infinity of zeros on the critical line, the theorem was proven for a small positive proportion by harvs|first=Atle|last= Selberg|authorlink=Atle Selberg|year=1942|txt=yes.

harvs|authorlink=Norman Levinson|last=Levinson|first=Norman|year=1974|txt=yes improved this to one-third of the zeros, and harvtxt|Conrey|1989 to two-fifths. The Riemann hypothesis implies that the true value would be one.
