Some conjectures on the zeros of approximates to the Riemann \(\Xi\)-function and incomplete gamma functions (Q539212)

The Riemann Hypothesis asserts that all zeros of the Riemann \(\Xi\)-function, defined by \( \Xi(z)=\frac{1}{2}\tilde{z}(\tilde{z}-1)\pi^{-\frac{\tilde{z}}{2}}\Gamma\left(\frac{\tilde{z}}{2}\right)\zeta\left(\tilde{z}\right)\), where \(\tilde{z}=\frac{1}{2}+iz\). Let \[ \phi_n(t)=2\pi^2n^4G\left(\frac{z}{2};\pi n^2,\frac{9}{4}\right)-3\pi n^2G\left(\frac{z}{2};\pi n^2,\frac{5}{4}\right), \] where \(G(z;a,b)=a^{-(b+iz)}\Gamma(b+iz,a)+a^{-(b-iz)}\Gamma(b-iz,a)\). The author states and studies numerically the conjecture asserting that the zeros of \(\Xi_N(z)=\sum_{n=1}^N\phi_n(t)\) in the first quadrant of the complex plane are listed by increasing real part, their imaginary parts are monotone non-decreasing, and shows that this conjecture implies the Riemann Hypothesis. Some other related conjectures are studied, too.
