Abstract

Let ck:=j0k(1)j(kj)(1/ζ(2j+2)). We prove that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to ckk3/4+ε for all ε>0; furthermore, we prove that ckk3/4 implies that the zeros of ζ(s) are simple. This is closely related to M. Riesz's criterion which states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to k=1((1)k+1xk/(k1)!ζ(2k))x1/4+ε as x+, for all ε>0.
