Abstract: Let ho(x)=x−[x], chi=chi(0,1). In L2(0,infty) consider the subspace B generated by hoa|ageq1 where hoa(x):=ho(frac1ax). By the Nyman-Beurling criterion the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement . For some time it has been conjectured, and proved in this paper, that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the stronger statement that where Bnat is the much smaller subspace generated by hoa|ainNat.


Let \(\rho(x)=x-[x]\) be the fractional part of \(x\), and \(\chi\) the characteristic function of the interval \((0,1]\). Also let \(H\) be the Hilbert space \(L_2((0,\infty), dx)\). Let \(B\) be the subspace of Beurling functions which are defined to be the linear hull of the family \(\{\rho_a: 1\leq a \in R\}\) with \(\rho_a(x)=\rho(1/ax)\). Let \(B^{nat}\) be the subspace generated by \(\{\rho_a: a\in N\}\). The Nyman-Beurling criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that \(\chi\in \overline{B}\). In this paper, the author proves that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that \(\chi\in \overline{B^{nat}}\).
