Explicit formulas and oscillations (Q4524313)

This is a comprehensive review article, covering many aspects of modern theory of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)\) and some allied \(L\)-functions. One of the main motives is to elucidate the study of the sum \(\sum_\rho f(\rho)\) for a suitable given function \(f\), where \(\rho\) denotes complex zeros of \(\zeta(s)\). Such sums, which originate e.g. in the explicit formulas involving the prime number theorem, are naturally connected to the function \(S(T) = {1\over\pi}\arg \zeta({1\over 2} + iT)\). Various aspects of the theory of \(S(T)\) are given, including the related Berry conjecture and the Montgomery pair correlation conjecture. The distribution of the sums of zeros is also discussed. Some of the author's new results are announced, and 11 graphs illustrating the material in the paper are presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00047].
