An Omega-theorem for the Riemann zeta-function near the line \(\text{Re} s=1\) (Q5960224)

An \(\Omega\)-theorem is considered in some domain \(\Sigma\) near the unit line. The main result of the paper is as follows. Let \(d=4+\varepsilon\), with \(\varepsilon>0\) an arbitrary small constant, and set \[ \sigma_1(t) = 1-d \frac{\ln^3 t}{\ln^2 t},\quad \Sigma(T):= \{s=\sigma+it\mid -T\leq t\leq T,\;\sigma_1(T)\leq \sigma\leq 1\}. \] Then \[ \limsup_{s\in\Sigma(T), T\to\infty} \frac{\zeta(s)}{\ln T} >1. \]
