Abstract: While the distribution of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function constitutes a central theme in Mathematics, nothing is known about the algebraic nature of these non-trivial zeros. In this article, we study the transcendental nature of sums of the form sum_{ ho } R( ho) x^{ ho}, where the sum is over the non-trivial zeros ho of zeta(s), R(x)inoverlineQ(x) is a rational function over algebraic numbers and x>0 is a real algebraic number. In particular, we show that the function f(x) = sum_{ ho } frac{x^{ ho}}{ ho} has infinitely many zeros in (1,infty), at most one of which is algebraic. The transcendence tools required for studying f(x) in the range x<1 seem to be different from those in the range x>1. For x<1, we have the following non-vanishing theorem: If for an integer dge1, f(pisqrtdx) has a rational zero in (0,1/pisqrtd), then L'(1,chi_{-d}) eq 0, where chid is the quadratic character associated to the imaginary quadratic field K:=Q(sqrtd). Finally, we consider analogous questions for elements in the Selberg class. Our proofs rest on results from analytic as well as transcendental number theory.
