Other than the “trivial zeros” along the negative real axis, all the solutions to the Riemann zeta function must lie in the critical strip of complex numbers whose real part is between 0 and 1. The Riemann hypothesis is that all these nontrivial zeros actually lie on the critical line, or Re(S) = 12.

Riemann hypothesis

Riemann hypothesis, in number theory, hypothesis by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann concerning the location of solutions to the Riemann zeta function, which is connected to the prime number theorem and has important implications for the distribution of prime numbers. Riemann included the…
