Lindelöf Hypothesis

The Lindelöf hypothesis states that mu(sigma) is the simplest function that is zero for sigma>1/2 and 1/2-sigma for sigma<1/2. Here mu(sigma) is the least upper bound of the numbers A such that |zeta(sigma+it)|t^(-A) is bounded as t->infty, where zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function.

The Lindelöf hypothesis is equivalent to the hypothesis that mu(1/2)=0 (Edwards 2001, p. 186).

Backlund (1918-1919) proved that the Lindelöf hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that for every sigma>1/2, the number of roots in the rectangle {T<=Im[s]<=T+1,sigma<=Re[s]<=1} grows less rapidly than lnT as T->infty (Edwards 2001, p. 188).
