The Riemann zeta function has its origin in Dirichlet series function

where n runs through all integers, and, is a complex variable. The Dirichlet series is convergent for Res > 1, and uniformly convergent in any finite region in which. It therefore defines an analytic function, regular for.

Euler showed the production formula,

where p ranges over all primes. It converges for real s greater than 1.

Riemann extends, to the whole complex plane except for s = 1 by introducing theta function

and Jacobi functional equation in his ground breaking paper (Riemann 1859) [1] [2] .

The function can be analytically extended onto the entire complex plane in many ways [3] . But there exists an unique analytic function A(s) which is defined on the entire s-plane except for s = 1 and has the property that when Re s > 1,

The convergence of the Euler product shows that ζ(s) has no zeros in the region: Re s > 1, as none of the factors have zeros. The Riemann hypothesis discusses zeros outside the region of convergence of this series and Euler product.

The Riemann hypothesis is a deep mathematical conjecture which states that the nontrivial Riemann zeta function zeros, i.e., the values of s other than −2, −4, −6, such that all lie on the “critical line”.

Riemann [1] says that he considers it “very likely” that the complex zeros of all have real parts equal to 1/2, but that he has been unable to prove it is true. Edwards [2] summaries that “the experience of Riemann’s successors with the Riemann hypothesis that has been the same as Riemann’s―they also consider its truth ‘very likely’ and they also have been unable to prove it”. Hilbert included the problem of proving the Riemann hypothesis in his list of the most important un-solved problems which confronted mathematics in 1900, and it is also the one of the seven open problems for 21^st century listed by Clay Mathematics Institute. “The attempt to solve the problem has occupied the best efforts of many of the best mathematicians of the twentieth century. It is now unquestionably the most celebrated problem in mathematics and it continues to attract the attention of the best mathematicians, not only because it has gone unsolved for more than one and half century but also because it appears tantalizingly vulnerable and because its solution would probably bring to light new techniques of far reaching importance” [2] . Why is the Riemann hypothesis so important? Why is it the problem that many mathematicians would sell their souls to solve? There are many answers beside the above for these questions. There have been many attempts to solve it but no idea on how to efficiently. As with the other old great unsolved problems, the Riemann hypothesis is clearly very difficult. It has resisted solution for more than 150 years and has been attempted by many of the greatest minds in mathematics. And the key reason for the importance of RH is that it relates to many important aspects of mathematics. Here is how Princeton mathematician Peter Sarnak describes the broad impact the RH has had. “The Riemann hypothesis is the central problem and it implies many, many things… With this one solution you would have proven five hundred theorems or more at once.”

The other thing makes it is of importance is that it has deep relation with physics. The relation between the zeros of Riemann zeta function on the critical line and the properties of random matrix are described in [4] . And the relations of prime distribution and dynamical systems and statistical mechanics are discussed in [5] . All these related topics root in RH.

Milestones and great events with the RH have been listed [6] from 1859 to 2004. RH is really a well known goose lays gold eggs.

Edwards [2] , E.C. Titchmarsh [3] and A. A. Karatsuba [7] all mentioned the theta function and Jacobi functional equation in dealing with Riemann zeta function. And the way by introducing the functional equation of the theta function in a form of Jacobi is a more satisfactory way than the way of Cauchy integral formula. Jacobi functional equation has a close relation with Riemann zeta function. The relation between the variable and its reciprocal in Jacobi functional equations corresponds to that of complex variable in of the imagery parts of s and, i.e. t and, We are going to investigate the properties of theta-series and Jacobi functional equation and to use the reflection principle to find the nontrivial zeros of Riemann zeta function and to prove RH.

To prove the truth of RH, and for convenience, we list some important related results as lemmas as follows [2] [3] [7] .

Lemma 1.

; (2.1)

where

,

The relation of (2.1) is a surprising functional equation, and is far obvious and looks barely possible. We can find the proofs from various references. (See [7] , pp. 8-11) ( [8] G. Everest, p. 194). It plays a key role for the Riemann zeta function analytic continuation in terms of theta series.

Lemma 2.

The following proof procedure is from [7] .

We use the integral formula for the gamma-function. For Re s > 0 and n a natural number, we have

We now suppose that and sum the last equality over all n. the result is

Changing the order of summation and integration, we obtain

Next, for x > 0 we have

Thus, we have the equality

From (2.2), using this relation and then making the change of variables in the second integral below, we obtain

as was to be proved.

We note that here since as, it follows that the improper integral on the right in (2.3) converges absolutely and uniformly in the half-plane Re s > K for any K. Weierstrass’ theorem then implies that, as a function of the complex variable s, this integral is holomorphic in the entire s-plane. The relation (2.3) was proved under the assumption that Re s > 1. But the right side of (2.3) is defined for all s, i.e., this formula gives the analytic continuation of the function onto the entire s-plane. We take the following to the function A(s) mentioned in the beginning of the section 1.

The gamma-function has the first order pole at the point s = 0; we also have. Thus, A(s) is a regular function on the entire s-pane except for the point s = 1, where it has a simple pole with residue 1. Finally, it is easy to see that the right side of (2.3) does not change when s is replaced by 1 − s. We define a function by the following.

Since the value of on real axis is real and by Schwarz reflection principle, we have the following lemma.

Lemma 3. The zeros of the Riemann zeta-function (2.3) are the even negative numbers and the complex numbers which all lie in the strip and are situated symmetrically with respect to the lines Im s = 0 and Re s = 1/2. In other words, when ever is a zero of, so are the, and.

i.e.

Proof ( [7] , p. 22 Th.1)

Since

And

For its value is real on the real axis, so by Schwarz reflection principle, it follows that,

Hence, when ever is a zero of, so are the, and [6] [7] .

Lemma 4. Suppose that t > 0, and we have

Lemma 5. If the following integration is convergent, f is monotone

Then

Now we are ready to prove Riemann theorem (RT) and find the zeros positions.

Riemann Zeta-function satisfies

And the RH holds (RT):

Proof: Let

Then,

We consider the imaginary part of the equation (3.2) of both sides.

And

The above integral is real integral of complex parameters. Consider the exponential complex function properties, we have

The many-valued function here the logarithm of x is determined in such a way that it is real for positive value of x [1] .

Suppose and let, then (3.4) becomes

From lemma 3, replace t by −t for t > 0, or equivalently replace by

We have the following

From Lemma 1, we have

And from lemma 4, we get

And from lemma 5, we have,

So

We have finally proved RT.

Considering the real parts of (3.2), and let in the equation, we have,

and the following function

where

Its roots are the zeros on the critical line of Riemann zeta function. Function (4.2) contains the whole information of zeros of Riemann zeta function. Since is a real function and we can calculate the function values and to find the roots in a computational way. The following results of the values of where are obtained by matlab. The zeros locations can be roughly estimated by the sign changing of the function values in a gap of 0.5.

The results are well match to the known zeros of Riemann zeta function.

Simple but substantial solutions for Riemann zeta function zeros are presented by letting imaginary and real parts of both sides of the equation (1.1), or its analytic continuation (3.2) and (3.2), to equal. The key step is using the properties of theta-series and the reflection principle to replace t by ?t. The first ten nontrivial zeros positions are easily obtained. From now on RH becomes Riemann Theorem (RT) and all its equivalent results become true. And we may investigate the properties of function (4.2) to study prime distribution.
