      In the paper the author presents some sufficient and equivalent conditions for the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). The first result is related to the so-called strong universality property, which roughly speaking states that a strongly universal object can approximate any analytic function uniformly on some compact set. More precisely, let us assume that \(\eta\in\mathbb{R}_+\) and \(s_*\) is a zero of \(\zeta\) with \(\mathrm{Re}(s_*)=1/2\). Then the Riemann Hypothesis follows from the fact that \(\zeta'\) is strongly universal in the region \(U=\{1/2<\mathrm{Re}(s)<1\}\cup \{[s_*,s_*+i\eta]\}\), i.e. NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \forall_{\varepsilon>0}\;\liminf_{T\to\infty}\mu\Bigg\{\tau\in[0,T]\max_{s\in K}|\zeta'(s+i\tau)-g(s)|<\varepsilon\Bigg\}>0, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(K\subset U\) is a compact set with connected complement, \(g(s)\) is continuous on \(K\) and analytic in the interior of \(K\), and \(\mu\) denotes the Lebesgue measure.NEWLINENEWLINENext, the author considers the functions \(H_N(s) = \sum_{n=1}^N n^{-s}+\frac{N^{1-s}}{s-1}\), \(N\in\mathbb{N}\), which appear in the approximate functional equation for \(\zeta(s)\). Firstly, he proves that RH holds if and only if for any compact set \(K\subset\{s\in\mathbb{C}:1/2<\mathrm {Re}(s)<1\}\) (or \(K\subset\{s\in\mathbb{C}:0<\mathrm{Re}(s)<1/2\}\)) the function \(H_N(s)\) is non-vanishing on \(K\) for infinitely many \(N\). A similar result is proved also for \(\phi_N(s)=\sum_{n=1}^N(-1)^{n-1}n^{-s}\) instead of \(H_N(s)\).NEWLINENEWLINENext, some equivalent criteria for RH are described, which follow from the fact that \(|F(s)| = 1\) if and only if \(\mathrm{Re}(s) = 1/2\), where \(F(s)=\frac{\pi^{s-1/2}\Gamma((1-s)/2)}{\Gamma(s/2)}\). Thus, RH is equivalent to the fact that \(|F(s_0)|=1\) for all non-trivial zeros \(s_0\) of the Riemann zeta-function. The paper concludes by presenting some results implied by this fact. For example the author proves that RH holds if and only if \(|\zeta^{(m)}(s_0)|=|\zeta^{(m)}(1-\overline{s_0})|\) for all non-trivial zeros \(s_0\) or RH holds if and only if \(\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{|H_N(s)|}{|H_N(1-s)|}\) is continuous throughout the strip.
