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 , except for its pole at
Statement
The meromorphic continuation of has no zeros on the closed half-plane . Its only singularity there is the simple pole at .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real number .
Zeta has no zeros on (The Riemann zeta function has no zeros when ).
On , zeta is meromorphic with only a simple pole at (For , zeta admits the fractional-part integral formula with a simple residue-one pole at ).
On , the Euler product for zeta converges absolutely and locally uniformly (The Riemann zeta function has its Euler product on the half-plane ).
Proof
By [L1], only the boundary line remains to be checked. Suppose and . Since [L2] makes zeta holomorphic at , there are and such that
For and real , absolute convergence in [L3] and the power series give Consequently because . Exponentiating gives On the other hand, [L2] gives as , so . The point is not , so [L2] also makes bounded as . Combining these bounds with step 1.1 yields contradicting the lower bound above.
Therefore for every . At , [L2] says is a simple pole, not a zero. Together with [L1], this proves that zeta has no zeros on .
