Li's criterion and the Riemann hypothesis for the Selberg class (Q884520)

Let \(F\) be a function in Selberg's class. It satisfies a functional equation of the type: \[ \phi(s)=\omega \bar{\phi}(1-s), \] where \[ \phi(s)=Q^s\prod_{j=1}^r\Gamma(\lambda_j s+\mu_j)F(s), \] with \(Q>0\), \(\lambda_j>0\), \(\text{Re}\mu_j\geq 0\) and \(|\omega|=1\). For \(n\geq 1\) let \[ \lambda_F(n):=\sum_{\rho:\phi(\rho)=0}\left[1-\left(1-\frac{1}{\rho}\right)^n\right]. \] The authors give an explicit formula for the numbers \(\lambda_F(n)\) and prove that the zeros of \(\phi(s)\) in the strip \(0<\text{Re}(s)<1\) have real part \(\frac12\) if and only if \(\lambda_F(n)\geq 0 \) for all \(n\geq 1\).This is a generalisation of Li's criterion for the Riemann zeta function.
