OpenAI claim summary for Math-2

Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
This question concerns the Riemann zeta function alone and requires every zero in the open critical strip to have real part $1/2$. The selected papers exclude zeros only to the right of $11/12$ or $7/8$. Zeta zeros in the remaining strip are not placed on the critical line, so these are partial claims toward the displayed question.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

The Riemann Hypothesis
OpenAI's claim
The two selected manuscripts claim zero-free half-planes for the Riemann zeta function, together with broader Dirichlet and finite-order Hecke families. Manuscript 1 gives the boundary $11/12$, and manuscript 2 gives $7/8$. Neither boundary is the critical line $1/2$ required by this problem. Manuscript numbers follow the order in Sources.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
For $K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$ and every finite-order Hecke character $\chi$ over $K$, the claimed zero-free assertion, with meromorphic poles excluded from evaluation, is \[ \operatorname{Re}s>11/12\quad\Longrightarrow\quad L_K(s,\chi)\ne0. \] It includes every Dirichlet $L$-function and the Riemann zeta function. The accompanying prime-progression claim uses $\pi(x;q,a)$ and asserts, with an absolute effective constant, \[ \sup_{\substack{1\le q\le x\$a,q)=1}} \left|\pi(x;q,a)-\frac1{\varphi(q)}\int_2^x\frac{dt}{\log t}\right| \ll x^{11/12}\log x\quad(x\ge2). \] The critical-line requirement $\operatorname{Re}\rho=1/2$ is not a consequence of this half-plane claim.Manuscript 2.
For every finite-order Hecke character of $F=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, every Dirichlet character and the zeta function, the principal claim is \[ \operatorname{Re}s>7/8\quad\Longrightarrow\quad L(s)\ne0, \] where a principal character's pole at $s=1$ is allowed. The weaker displayed $11/12$ theorem follows within this scope. The cited arithmetic consequence gives absolute $A,C>0$ such that every odd prime $p$ has least positive quadratic nonresidue \[ n(p)\le C(\log p)^A. \] Thus $n(p)\ll_{\delta} p^{\delta}$ for each fixed $\delta>0$. Given binary $p$ and $a\in\mathbb F_p$, a deterministic algorithm of time polynomial in $\log p$ is further claimed to return a square root of $a$ or correctly declare it nonexistent. The half-plane assertion leaves zeros between the critical line and $7/8$ untreated.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 003; 2026-10-05), twisted Möbius sums are enlarged to a family before Poisson summation. A recursive estimate for the dual mean square, followed by inversion of cube factors, supplies the saving used to exclude a reciprocal-function singularity.For manuscript 2 (family 003; 2026-09-30), smoothed character sums are estimated in two ways: directly by large-sieve and recursive moment bounds, and through a Mellin transform involving the reciprocal of an $L$-function. Poisson summation and sextic residue characters align the two expressions so that their savings force continuation of the reciprocal.
Formal verification
For manuscript 2 (family 003; 2026-09-30), OpenAI lists Lean statements for the $7/8$ zero-free claims for zeta, Dirichlet functions and finite-order Hecke functions over $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. This covers the asserted half-plane statements and does not establish the critical-line conclusion asked here. No Lean formalization is listed at this snapshot for manuscript 1 (family 003; 2026-10-05).The selected Comparator checks are DirichletSevenEighths.lean, HeckeSevenEighths.lean, QuasiRiemannHypothesis.lean.
Their named declarations include OAI.DirichletCharacter.LFunction_ne_zero_of_seven_eighths_lt_re, OAI.SevenEighths.HeckeFamily.LFunction_ne_zero_of_seven_eighths_lt_re, OAI.riemannZeta_ne_zero_of_seven_eighths_lt_re.

Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
