Let \(\kappa\) and \(\kappa^*\) denote the proportion of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)\) which lie on the ``critical'' line \(\mathrm{Re} (s) = 1/2\), and the proportion of such zeros which are simple, respectively. In this long and technical paper (48 pages), the authors deal extensively with lower bounds for \(\kappa\) and \(\kappa^*\), clarifying the recent method of \textit{S. Feng} [J. Number Theory 132, 511--542 (2012; Zbl 1333.11086)]. In particular, Feng obtained the hitherto sharpest bound \(\kappa \geq 0.4127\), but the computation of certain mixed terms was not carried out explicitly in his work. Now the authors close the gap regarding these mixed terms and they explain in detail the machinery behind Feng's approach. They use, among other things, the generalized von Mangoldt function \(\Lambda_k(n)\), generated by \((-1)^k \zeta^{(k)}(s)/\zeta(s)\). They derive (unconditionally) the values \[ \kappa \geq 0.410725,\qquad \kappa^* \geq 0.403211. \] Their methods are different from those of Feng, but nevertheless complicated.
