The Zeta function seems to be the pyramid that holds the number systems together in a towering edifice of combinatorial relations.

Let denote the complex numbers. They form a two-dimensional real vector space spanned by 1 and i where i is a fixed square root of −1, and belong are real numbers, i.e.. The Riemann Zeta function is a complex variable function defined as

Here, p is a prime. Except for a pole at, behaves properly and can be easily extended using the Gamma function. The extension of to the entire complex plane can be obtained by consideration the entirety and the general definition of the Gamma function:

Change variables by the substitution, , in (3),

Extracting from (4),

The convergence of the series,

in the interval gives the relation:

This can be split into two separate integrals,

Note that the sum (6) is related to the Jacobi Theta function. See Ref. [1]

The Jacobi theta function obeys the symmetry

Thus,

The integral (8.0) now becomes

The right side of the relation (15.0) is invariant to the substitution. This gives the reflection formula for:

The reflection formula indicates that the roots should obey a reflection and conjugate symmetry if they lie on the 1/2-line.

One can also study the maxima and minima of infinite products powers by looking at the functions that approximate the ζ-function.

Proposition 2: The Zeta function is related to power towers.

Let,

The function can be written as a series in powers of n, where n is an integer, in the form:

where, ,.

Note that in (21), as the minimum value of the terms for

is when, but has repeated values for, at, since. One can also write the Zeta func-

tion as follows:

From numerical calculations, the minima and maxima of the real and the complex parts of for, occurs when n = 3. This is due to the fact that. One sees that something special is happening

between these three points, for the functions that define. The graphs in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show the relationship of these points and they are tied together by the fact that.

One can see that all three functions are somewhat related by the relation s:

This is true for the functions,

One finds that these functions have their maxima and their minima in the range,

This is exactly the range where real power towers converge. I will use this later when I discuss power towers.

Power towers have been studied extensively. I start by describing power towers following some conventional methods that have been used by Knuth Ref. [2] and others.

DEFINITION 1

Let. A power tower is defined as a follows:

Here, I am using the Knuth notation for the tower of powers raised n times. See Ref. [2] .

DEFINITION 2

I have used the case as the argument itself, although in the literature most authors start with the definition

It is understood that such a power tower is iterated from some past argument to its present argument. By past I mean, the values that would have occurred in an iteration of the function that lead the iteration to its present value.

DEFINITION 3. If the limit of exists then define it as follows:

DEFINITION 4. For define the future power tower as the iterates starting from the present value as the first value that leads to a future value. Symbolically,

It is understood that such a power tower is iterated from its present state to some future value. By future I mean the argument values that will occur in an iteration of the function from its present value to some future value.

DEFINITION 5. The complex Lambert W function solves for the equation:

is multi-valued and as has many branches with the usual notation for the branch as, with for the branch chosen. The principal branch of the function is and for real arguments, the function is denoted by. See Refs. [3] - [5] . The branch points of take on real values only for The function, satisfies, for The only

other branch point that has real values is which lies in the range. Curves other than the semi-line, can be described by the parametric curves,

These are subsets of the “Quadratrix of Hippias”.

Since, the real values of the function occur at the branch points.

Consider the function,

Let

Proof:

Using the Lambert W-function, , for the branch point,

Obviously, z is constant over the range of values of c that satisfy the relation (31), thus the fixed points of the function are,

If the sequence converge to fixed points that satisfy (32) and exponential

function of z, as will be seen later. For real values of x, the function only converges within the range of validity

How does this relate to the iterations of the Zeta function?

DEFINITION 6: Define an iterated exponential as the Towering Zeta function:

Here, is defined as a future iterated exponential by taking the ζ-value of (z) and then taking the ζ-value of and repeating this process n-times. The arrow shows the direction of iteration of Towering Zeta functions and the arrow → means take increasing nests of ζ values of prior Zeta values to obtain a new future value.

DEFINITION 7: Define the inverse past iterated exponential of the Towering Zeta function, as follows:

Here the arrow ← means take decreasing past nests of where the inverse-zeta function is one of the set of infinite solutions to the equation, and so

Since the solutions to (36) are multivalued, we wish to fix particular solutions that will revert the function values back to original values from its inverse values.

Start with the reflection formula:

where,

Let there be solutions, such that

Then the infinite number of possible inverse-solutions are paired as follows:

Then these particular solutions of the function obeys the rules:

For example, if only consider, then there exists a sequence of constants such that

One can expand these functions as follows:

As another general example,

This can be converted to a product form:

Here, are independent integers. In general,

Thus, taking

Then,

Thus, is a power tower that can be put in the general form:

This however is only valid for.

Now consider the same power towers in terms of primes.

In terms of primes, let be the, prime with. Then,

Thus, taking

The Zeta power tower in terms of primes becomes the simple form:

Consider the extended Zeta function,.

Then,

Using this,

Further,

Thus, taking,

The iterated zeta function becomes:

Note that

This is just the relation for the general zeta function:

One sees that this is also a power tower product but this time the sum and the product operators are doubled. Thus the iterated exponential power tower of the zeta function for can be separated into the product of two power towers:

Since the raising power is not over the entire product, this becomes difficult to write in the general Knuth form. The future iterates of the function converges to a constant whenever there exists some root of the Towering Zeta function, that satisfies. Thus, all the arguments that lead to a root are unique and no periods of the function can exist in the past iterations. This does not exclude close to periodic regions. This subject has been extensively studied in Julia Sets theory.

Let be a root of the Zeta function. Then, the future iterates, converge toconstants over all arguments.

Obviously, the function vanishes for also.

When the function is continued over values of k for a given root, ,

This can be seen when the function is taken to the limit, and becomes an image of itself.

The solutions to the relation, for can be obtained if one takes

Thus converges for real values when n is large and obviously the power tower product converges to the constant function,

If there appears an argument, then is the fixed point and the real limit of the function, when is a root of the Zeta function. The convergence becomes real and the complex part of the arguments vanish. A plot of these values for is shown in Figure 4 for the converging values. Thus is a super attractor for all roots of the Zeta function.

Any roots of the Zeta function that appears in any iteration of the function at the term, , will converge the function,. The functions of the infinite iterative form:

have certain attracting and repelling values, and are sometimes periodic with respect to n. If one takes roots of the function as a starting point one finds that the function generates constants for each value of n, such that:

Then, for all roots of the zeta function, there exists a unique sequence of real constants that are invariant with respect to all the roots and that converge to the same value,. The plots below show examples of how the function’s values change for the real arguments generated by some complex roots., is the vertical axis as n changes (horizontal axis) for various indicated values of One can see that the function has alternating maxima and minima at integer values of n with the lowest value occurring again at. This is again due to that fact that the function converges to a constant for all roots as.

One can surmise that any root such that vanishes will generate a convergent sequence of real arguments, for the functions such that

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, there is a symmetry between the real parts of the known complex roots s, of the function about zero:

This symmetry is due to the fact that at any point in a large number of iterations where a root, one could replace zero of with the equivalence,;

This implies that the convergence of the iterations of functions must be symmetric about a zero of the function as implied by the mean value theorem mention earlier.

It is worth noting that the complex parts of iterates of the complex arguments result in real arguments if the products of the components of the iterates is real. Thus the roots are expected to be composed of a spectrum of complex factors whose iterates are real since they result in a quadratic convergence to the real values due to the symmetry of the reflection formula.

Let Z belong to integers and Z⁺ to the subset of positive integers. Any sequence of arguments can be created by functional iteration. Let function, with an initial value. The sequence obtained can yield periodic m-cycles for some. A critical periodic point can be classified depending on the value of the derivatives,. Such points are studied in Fractals, Chaos theory, Attracting Periodic Cycles, and in Mandelbrot Sets, using Newton approximations and this critical point is classified as

Then, the function has the following properties.

・ If is a periodic point of period m, then, if and only if m divides p. This product is referred to as the multiplier of a periodic point z of period p. Since the lie on a cycle,

・ If is a periodic point of period m, then, if and only if m divides.

LEMMA 2: If s is a root of the Zeta function, then the Towering Zeta function, for finite values of, unless either, or when.

Proof: The case is trivial for. Suppose there exists some, where r is a positive integer. Then there exists some

i.e. there exists a sequence of arguments,

Then,

The iterated exponential that generates a root, must satisfy all roots independently, since if for some r, is a root of, then must generate a particular sequence of real arguments in a future sequence of arguments that must converge to, as, i.e.,

, Such a sequence of real arguments cannot generate another complex root in the future direction. As an aside, Little wood showed that if the sequence, contains all the imaginary parts of all zeros in the upper half-plane in ascending order, then,

There cannot exist such a sequence of roots in the past or future arguments of since when a root is encountered the sequence of arguments converge and never goes to zero but once. However, considering the fact that the Zeta function is multivalued at the roots, any root could be used in the future of a Zero, and as such a product of all roots following the Hadamard product for the Zeta function can be used in the future of a Zero of the function.

The Towering Zeta function can in fact have an infinite number of convergence points in all its roots. All roots converge the function to the real line from the complex plane (Figure 5).

Starting from a given root, the future iterations of the Towering Zeta function function over successive arguments that start from a root will lead to a convergence for every root. Table 1 shows the iterations from a root s in an upward future trend toward convergence to. However starting from some past iteration, there exist an infinite number of roots that could be generated by a past iteration through zero.

Table 1 shows successive past values of arguments for the roots, that solve the iterated relation,

, where n runs up the tables in a future direction, i.e. arguments of lead to. As can be seen from Table 1, the function can become almost oscillatory for some values of negative roots. Values down the table are arguments that can generate roots as starting arguments of successive values of.

LEMMA 3: Le t, , and let, be a non-vanishing function on the disc, which is analytic in the interior. Then,

Use Voronin’s theorem and let. Then,

Further, since the constant cannot be zero. However, we can choose and make

So that Obviously as, the convergence demands that.

As Now choose

Then there exists a negative constant such that

Then,

The constants must vanish at infinity since is self similar and, and any approximations of a constant function must be a constant-function, then, one suspiciously finds that:

This value deviates from by.

I will now discuss the relationship between the Towering Zeta function and its derivatives. Differentiating,

Thus the derivative of the function is just products of the derivatives of the iterate functions taken over values. Note that the derivatives of,

have been shown by D.L. Shell [6] , to be periodic. Obviously, the power towers are intimately related to the Towering Zeta function and the almost periodic relationship is exactly the sort of behavior one sees with the Zeta function:

LEMMA 4:

For,.

Proof:

Differentiating, one gets:

Which is the same as the power tower derivatives when.

Hence,

Noting that

The derivative becomes,

Put, and use

LEMMA5: Define and let and,. Define and let and, then,

Proof:

First we verify (102).

Consider the product formula:

Let the root s occur at the iteration of the product formula, at. Then,

This separates the products into three terms, the first term, P, being the iterates before the root s is encountered, and the second term N, being the iterate that produces a root at, and third term being the iterations after the root at.

One has to determine if the factors P, N, F, can vanish in a given range of values of the arguments, s. Before determining these products, the following Lemmas are necessary.

LEMMA 6: If, and if, and if, and, then,.

Proof: Suppose there exists. Then, iterations from p to q will be periodic and will only generate cyclic arguments when, where,. Thus the past iterations for, will be stuck in an eternal loop and never generate future roots, s. This is true for both real and complex arguments, z and for real and complex roots s.

LEMMA7: Let, then, if, and if, and, and, and if for any p, q, , then, P and F are infinite power towers.

Proof:

If, and, and if for any p or q, then the sequence of iterations of the zeta function has no past purely periodic arguments and as such there can be no other repelling, neutral or super-attracting points until the root itself is reached.

Then by induction, there are no past periodic arguments in the factor P prior to encountering this root. There must exists an infinite past for the iterations leading to root s. Then, the only critical point is the root itself and the sum of all such points will be the root. The root could be written as an infinite power tower of. The same argument leads F to an infinite power tower.

Noting that

Thus (115)

The factor N is given by:

Both the above factors are zero, hence the proof. It is obvious that if a root occurs in any of the arguments of the function iterates of, then, the derivatives of must vanish since it converges to a constant. Now the conditions that allow a root to be encountered depend on P.

It is worth noting that the function, and the arguments, are discontinuous functions over the complex plane. In other words they jump in values over each iteration and may never hit a root for some values of z.

Let be a starting value that does not hit a root.

The relationship given by the Hadamard factorization thus represents the relationship between the iterated functions, and roots of the zeta function.

Obviously, the argument, is a pole of the function and so we assume. From the reflection formula,

Since never hits a root, we can divide across by the reflection function,

Since, one can divide across by,

Using

From the reflection formula,

From the power of, the condition for no roots to be obtained during iterations is that

The condition implies that a root is a hit for arguments before itera-

tion. Thus the condition demonstrates that any prior argument that is a root will never have iterations that give another root again.

Further, for, the iterates that lead to a root give

From, (124), one sees that the derivative vanishes at the root of given by some iterate. The condi-

tion that the derivative does not vanish when, leads to a solution of the Riemann

Hypothesis. However, for the case, when is a root, none of the iterates vanish, since the iterates lead to the final root.

To illustrate the convergence of the Towering Zeta function for, we start with:

Then,

Now use (127)

To see that the reflection formula obeys the power tower representation, take,

Then, since, the two zeta functions can be written in the form:

LEMMA 8: The fixed points of the Towering Zeta function are rational functions of its roots.

Proof:

Putting

Thus,

And so,

The fixed points are obtained by the solutions to the relation:

This can be simplified by putting

Power towers of the form (145) represent rational functions.

Remark 1. The only real algebraic solutions to (137) are 1, 2, and 4, since as shown in (23), functions of the power form (137) have an equivalence for the values 2, and 4:

It is easy to see that if then the unique divisors of and are the same. It has been shown that values for are transcendental number.

For real power towers, the prime divisors of and the prime divisors of are the same. Thus for the complex values, if there is an infinite number of unique divisors, then,

must be divisible by leaving a factors that are the roots of unity. To see that the remaining factors are the roots of unity take, and so,

and from this

Write the rational function as a rational function

Then, , and,

Thus the reflection formula applies to the power tower representation:

The reflection formula then tells us that and obey reciprocal relations. In Ref. [5] Shkliarski D., N. Chentzov, and I. Yaglom, show that for real integer values of s, the forms of equation (142) represent Power Towers that converge to real rational values.

DEFINITION 8. Define the set

converges with limit, then. Thus,

and so on with each such relation representing an entire function of.

LEMMA 9: (Shell: Ref. [7] ). Let, then converges to, in some neighborhood of, if and can do so only if.

Proof: Take the principal branch.

An even stronger condition can be placed on the convergence of the sequence (143) by Thron in Ref. [8] .

LEMMA 10: (Thron; Ref. [8] ):

If, , or if x is a root of unity, then the sequence (143) converges to. For almost all x such that, the sequence diverges.

Galidakis Ref. [9] noted that the fixed points of the functions are rationally indifferent or parabolic and that their multiplier is exactly. I.N. Baker and P.J. Rippon Ref. [10] showed that if is a centrum number, in particular if is non-Liouville number, then (143) diverges. The order power tower only converges to n fixed-points on the circle when, a root of the function and when

, with being a rational function.

Following Titshmarch, Ref. [11] ,

Let be any function with a continuous derivative in the interval. Then, if denotes the greatest integer not exceeding x,

Following Titshmarch Ref. [11] page 14, taking, one arrives at the well known Zeta relation:

Since is bounded, (148) is convergent for.

For the region,

and so

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, the Towering Zeta Function follows this relation before convergence, i.e. when the real part of the arguments of the Zeta function is in the range.

Let s be a root of the Zeta function. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, when the Towering Zeta function converges, the next argument is of the form

Thus, for some finite iterations of a starting argument, z, let be a root of the Zeta function. Then, the inverse gives, The Zeta function now follows the relation,

However the iterates are associative, thus,

Of course, this is only true if the backward iterations are uniquely selected from the initial argument set. The range of the function changes since,. Thus,

k-iteration of the function for arguments in the range, give the functional relation.

In other words, after convergence, the relation obeys the functional,

Then, for,

The relation gives the invariant integral over an infinite iteration of the roots:

I now introduce the function defined by the following theorem due to Ramanujan. Chakravarthi Padmanabhan Ramanujan was born in India on the 9^th of January 1838. He died on the 27^th of October 1874. He has been referred to as the greatest mathematician ever. His work on number theory and algebraic geometry has produced some of the most outstanding revelations in mathematics and is considered to be one of the pillars of modern day research. This paper is about Ramanujan’s so called Master Theorem that relates integrals of certain types of functions to a wide range of application including Power towers and the Zeta function.

The function is intimately related to the Ramanujan Master Theorem and to the convergence of the Power Tower Zeta function.

LEMMA 11: [Ramanujan’s Master theorem Ref. [12] ].

Define, then, if in some neighborhood of, then,

DEFINITION 9: For any real or complex numbers, let

Then using the Master Theorem, the following apply:

LEMMA 12: There exists exponential power towers such that if then,

Proof:. Then,

LEMMA 13 {Thron}: If, , or if is a root of unity, then the sequence (143) converges to. For almost all such that, the sequence diverges.

LEMMA 14: For any complex numbers, , if, then.

Proof:

LEMMA 15: For any complex numbers, x, if, then, the self-root function is given by:

where,

Proof: In [12] , and in [13] , Jovovic calculated the self-root sum:

where is the Sterling number of the first kind. Thus, for the self-root,

Note that in general, one can write:

In which case the function becomes dependent on.

LEMMA 16: If, then, is a Power Tower and, converges to.

LEMMA 17: For the self-root if then,

Proof:

Differentiating, k times, a simple calculation shows that:

where the symbol is the value of the derivative at. This is the same expression as for the self-root

LEMMA 18: If, then,

Proof: Using the Master theorem,

Now,

From the Zeta function, since is independent of n,

Now from Euler-Mac Laurin summation formula:

Putting,

Noting from the Bernoulli relation that only odd values of k survive, the integral (171) is zero when

LEMMA 19: Define then, , where

Proof:

Consider the Fourieh series expansion,

The derivatives of at are given by:

Put:

then,

Thus, the fractional functions, satisfy Ramanujan’s Master Theorem, when for, and so

Then,

.

Proof:

LEMMA 22: For complex values of z, if and is not a function of z, then the Ramanujan function

is related to the Riesz function.

Proof: Integrating (181), and since is independent of z,

Note that (182) is exactly the Riesz function for;

LEMMA 23: For

Proof:

If, then,

Using the Zeta functional relation,

Relation (185) becomes:

For, the function is related to the Zeta function in an intimate way and so

Corollary: If, then

Proof:

Thus, then,

It is worth noting that relation (190) is one form of the Weyl fractional derivative. See Ref. [12] . The Riemann-Louiville fractional integral gives the same result.

DEFINITION 10: A positive integer m is squarefree if it is either a product of different primes or 1 otherwise it is squarefull.

Let be the densities of number of squarefree numbers and squarefull numbers in an infinite set of integers.

Note: RIEMANN’S HYPTOTHESIS: Fix. Then we can find N such that for all the number of square free numbers in does not differ from the number of non-square numbers in by more than

.

LEMMA 24: The density of squarefree numbers is and the density of squarefull numbers is.

Proof:

Taken over square-free numbers m, and squarefull numbers n, then:

Since

Thus,

Let

Then,

The number of both the squarefree and the square-full numbers is given by for since this is the one by one count of each infinite set. Thus, the density of the squarefree numbers and the squarefull numbers is given by:

thus,

It follows that the density of square-free numbers is and the density of squarefull numbers is

LEMMA 25: Let, then, and

Proof:

Taking the derivatives,;

One sees that the paired functions satisfy the Master Theorem. Thus, from LEMMA 25

Further, to see that this is true, define:

Put

LEMMA 26: If a function, , has derivatives of all orders throughout a neighborhood of a point ξ, then and Ramanujan’s Master Theorem is simply the Taylor series.

Proof: The Taylor series of any function that has derivatives of all orders throughout a neighborhood of a point, may be written as:

Thus as

As can be seen from Figure 6, the function only has quadratically equal values (red x’s) at and also at There are no other paired quadratically equal values of that have the same values for Hence the following LEMMA due to Mladen [14] .

LEMMA 27:

b) For (207) has the unique solution

c) For (207) has no solutions

LEMMA 29: Let be an algebraic number such that then,

a) if, then, the infinite Power Tower is a rational number, and

b) if for some integer, then

and the infinite Power Tower is a rational number given by:

c) If and n is an integer, then it is not part of the sequence

,

then the infinite Power tower is a transcendental number.

Proof of Theorem 1: For the Zeta function vanishes when

Let.

Starting with the Zeta function for:

Let be algebraic numbers such that, then according to Lindemann?Weiers- trass theorem, is transcendental.

Taking

The sequence of integers in the Zeta-function are part of the rational sequence.

The sequence of integers in the Zeta-function are a part of the rational sequence, hence using LEMMA 29 the Zeta function (207) can be written as a function of transcendental numbers, , in the form:

Factoring;

By the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem, is transcendental since is algebraic, and so if s is rational, then is algebraic. If s is rational, when the Zeta function vanishes the sum

is algebraic and the product of a transcendental number and a non?zero algebraic number is transcendental.

Thus we are left with the relationship:

where, A is an algebraic number. See Ref. [15] .

The only value for which the left hand side and the right hand sides are transcendental is when. Q.E.D.

The Power Tower of the pure complex form with a rational number:

not only follow Ramanujan’s Master Theorem, it also converge to exponential functions of the form: Thus the Zeta function takes the form:

It is clear that the function converges only when

This just shows the self-similarity of the convergence.

Now the only arguments that satisfy the path to convergence are:

See Ref. [17] , Ref. [6] . Thus, the solutions to the convergence are on the half-line.

There are an infinite number of possible roots that can independently satisfy (218). For example, if a root is obtained from the backward iteration, , then, starting at any iteration point,

Thus any complex root s can be obtained by iterations that go backwards from the real negative line provided the arguments are chosen to be of the rational form:

The solutions to inverse Zeta values is referred to as “a-points”. These points have been extensively studied by other authors, see [17] . The conditions of convergence of complex power towers of the form:

also require that

The roots of the zeta function obey this condition as can be seen from Table 2:

Remark 2: The arguments that lead to roots have singular solutions to the inverse zeta functions of roots that generate them in the backward direction. This points to the fact that a root can only be arrived at when there are no cycles prior to the root. Thus, any argument z that leads to a root can be backward generated for as singular values of the inverse zeta function that it generates. Not all values of z can generate a root. Those that generate a root must conform to the power tower structure. The only reciprocal relations that relate the symmetry is to reciprocal functions are conjugate complex functions of the exponential forms on the half-line:

From this, one could surmise that the reflection formula and the inverse zeta power towers prescribe conjugate power towers that are also reflection symmetries about unity for the Zeta function. Write the Zeta Power Tower as follows:

It is clear that, and the values of x are just the products of the roots of unity when the

The degree of goes to infinity with k. If had an infinity of roots of unity, it would have elements

of arbitrarily high degree, and thus would not be of finite degree over the rationals, and thus would not, in fact, be an algebraic number field. Thus, equating the powers of (223), if is divisible by all the factors of then, the power towers can be written as

These Power Towers are entire functions. An Entire Functions has special properties that relate to exponential functions. If is analytic for the entire complex plane, then it is an entire function. An entire function can be represented by in the linear form:

Anne Beurling demonstrated in all cases the translates of an integrable function defined in the entire interval [0, ∞], are represented by at least one exponential form and thus will always contain a continuous banded group character if the function does not vanish identically.

The function can also be represented by exponential terms and, rational functions of its roots can also be represented by the exponential forms. Since the function is analytic everywhere except for a simple pole with residue 1 at, the function

is an entire function, and so one suspects that when the function vanishes, there exists an exponential representation of its roots in the rational form:

Any form of that expresses its roots as an entire function can be used to relate to exponential forms. There are many forms of the function that can be represented as rational functions of the roots when it vanishes. The exponential function is represented by the quotient of conjugate rational complex functions on the half-line:

In all these instances one finds that if the roots are on the 1/2-line, and then the rational-functions, of the roots will give three possible but distinct cases for the exponential arguments, satisfying, where,:

with

For the real arguments one finds that if the roots are on the 1/2-line then they must obey a certain symmetry that satisfies:

If the complex roots obey the exponential relation (232) for the arguments, , then only the fractional parts of the arguments contribute to the solution of (232) and thus all the complex roots of the function will be on the 1/2-line.

For the pure complex arguments, the roots will not satisfy the symmetry (223) since

Exponential-functions with pure complex argument will not be found since the right-hand side is real while the left-hand side is pure complex. For solutions with arguments that are complex, if the roots are on the half line, they must satisfy the symmetry:

With the general condition that, these solutions satisfy only the real negative even roots of the

function which are the only known real roots of the function. Thus if the roots are on the half-line, the only exponential arguments that will satisfy the roots are for the complex conjugate roots on the half-line. This indicates that the arguments that yield solutions to the vanishing of the Riemann-zeta function are symmetries that satisfy inverse tangent relations and as I will demonstrate in future papers that the arctangent symmetry (223) relates the Bernoulli numbers, Zeta functions, and the Gamma functions to prime numbers.

The convergence of Power towers relates the vanishing of the zeta function to the half-line. This relationship comes from the property of complex power towers of the exponential-form only converge to exponential functions relating the roots to the convergence. If one iterates backwards from a real root, one finds near misses of purely periodic states of the function as shown in Figures 7-11. Obviously if the cycle ever gets to be purely periodic then no roots can be generated since the periodic cycle will prevent any root from being generated backwards from the infinite past. Table 3 shows the almost periodic cycles of the function that appears to dominate some roots. The inverse iterations seem to generate “very near root” misses.
