trailThe Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the prime number theorem holding with a square-root-size error term.
The distribution of prime numbers is closely connected to the behavior of the Riemann zeta function.
Von Koch equivalence· for
If the Riemann hypothesis holds, the prime-counting function differs from the logarithmic integral by O(√x log x).
atomic
If the prime-counting function differs from the logarithmic integral by O(x^(1/2+ε)) for every ε > 0, then the Riemann hypothesis holds.
atomic
Zero-exponent correspondence and sharpness· for
The error term in the prime number theorem is O(x^θ log x) for every θ above the supremum of the real parts of the zeta zeros, and not O(x^θ) below it.
atomic
The difference between the prime-counting function and the logarithmic integral changes sign infinitely often and is not O(√x log log log x / log x).
atomic
assumed
The number of primes up to x is asymptotically x divided by the natural logarithm of x.
