Theorem: For Re(z)≥0, if z* is a nontrivial zero of ζ(z), then Re(z*)=1/2Proof:
- ⮚
- From [10], [11], [12]: ζ(z) = X(z) − Y(z) for Re(z)>0, z≠1
- ⮚
- From [13]: |Y(z, n)|2 is always a polynomial line.
- ⮚
- From [14]: |Y(z, n)|2 is only straight line if and only if Re(z)= ½
= tends to a straight line with slope- ⮚
- From [15]: |X(z, n)|2 is a wave function that has only one polynomial representation in the form of a straight line if and only if Re(z)= ½ [18] and for certain values of Im(z)=ß* calculated using [19]. These values of ß* coincide with the imaginary parts of the nontrivial zeros of Riemann Zeta z*, so:
= tends to a straight line with slopewhen Re(z)=1/2 and ß=NTZ of RZF- ⮚
- Therefore and only occur when Re(z*) = ½
- ⮚
- As ζ(z)=X(z)-Y(z), therefore all zeros of ζ(z) for z>=0, z≠1 have Re(z)=1/2. [QED]
