This paper consists of two parts. The first half is a survey of the theory of the Riemann zeta-function and some of its open problems. Combined with the long list of references provided, it is informative and serves as a good starting point for further study. Particular attention is given to moments of \(\zeta(s)\) on the critical line, where more detailed results and conjectures are mentioned. The second half of the paper focuses on convolutions of \(Z(t)\) \((=\chi^{-\frac 12} (\frac 12+it) \zeta(\frac 12+ it))\) with smooth kernels belonging to certain classes. Convolution functions of \(Z(t)\) are easier to handle than \(Z(t)\) itself and the author suggests that this is a reasonable approximation to \(Z(t)\). Under some conditions this is actually established. Moreover, an approach for disproving the Riemann hypothesis basing on the convolution function (and certain conditions) is outlined. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0874.00035].
