How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The Riemann zeta function has no zeros on the closed half-plane Res1, except for its pole at 1

Statement

The meromorphic continuation of ζ has no zeros on the closed half-plane Res1. Its only singularity there is the simple pole at s=1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A real number t.

[L1]

Zeta has no zeros on Res>1 (The Riemann zeta function has no zeros when Res>1).

[L2]

On Res>0, zeta is meromorphic with only a simple pole at 1 (For Res>0, zeta admits the fractional-part integral formula with a simple residue-one pole at 1).

[L3]

On Res>1, the Euler product for zeta converges absolutely and locally uniformly (The Riemann zeta function has its Euler product on the half-plane Res>1).

1.1

By [L1], only the boundary line Res=1 remains to be checked. Suppose t0 and ζ(1+it)=0. Since [L2] makes zeta holomorphic at 1+it, there are δ>0 and C>0 such that ζ(σ+it)C(σ1)(1<σ<1+δ).

2.1

For σ>1 and real u, absolute convergence in [L3] and the power series log(1z)=m1zm/m give logζ(σ+iu)=pm1cos(mulogp)mpmσ. Consequently log ⁣ζ(σ)3ζ(σ+it)4ζ(σ+2it)=pm13+4cos(mtlogp)+cos(2mtlogp)mpmσ0, because 3+4cosθ+cos2θ=2(1+cosθ)20. Exponentiating gives ζ(σ)3ζ(σ+it)4ζ(σ+2it)1. On the other hand, [L2] gives ζ(σ)=1/(σ1)+O(1) as σ1, so ζ(σ)3=O((σ1)3). The point 1+2it is not 1, so [L2] also makes ζ(σ+2it) bounded as σ1. Combining these bounds with step 1.1 yields ζ(σ)3ζ(σ+it)4ζ(σ+2it)=O(σ1)0, contradicting the lower bound above.

Therefore ζ(1+it)0 for every t0. At t=0, [L2] says s=1 is a simple pole, not a zero. Together with [L1], this proves that zeta has no zeros on Res1.
