Abstract
We describe extensive computations which show that Riemann's zeta function
has exactly 200,000,001 zeros of the form
sigma + i.t
in the region 0 <t < 81,702,130.19;
all these zeros are simple and lie on the line sigma = 1/2.
This extends a result for the first 81,000,001
zeros, established by Brent in
[47].
Counts of the numbers of Gram blocks of various types
and the failures of "Rosser's rule" are given.
Comments
This is a more detailed version of
[70].
A note "added in proof" (December 1982) states that the result has
been extended to the first 307,000,000 zeros.
This was sufficient to settle
a bet between Enrico Bombieri and Don Zagier -
