From: Archimedes Plutonium on 17 Jul 2010 14:43 I am looking for the best Riemann Hypothesis equivalent statement to tie in the Indirect Euclid Infinitude of Primes proof method. By correcting that flaw of logic that both P-1 and P+1 are necessarily prime, yielding the infinitude of Twin Primes, I suspect is a key to proving the Riemann Hypothesis RH. So I looked for equivalent RH statements: --- quoting Wikipedia in part --- Riemann's explicit formula for the number of primes less than a given number in terms of a sum over the zeros of the Riemann zeta function says that the magnitude of the oscillations of primes around their expected position is controlled by the real parts of the zeros of the zeta function. In particular the error term in the prime number theorem is closely related to the position of the zeros: for example, the supremum of real parts of the zeros is the infimum of numbers β such that the error is O(xβ) (Ingham 1932). Von Koch (1901) proved that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the "best possible" bound for the error of the prime number theorem. A precise version of Koch's result, due to Schoenfeld (1976), says that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to. . . --- end quoting --- Let me try to give an equivalent RH statement myself. It is already proven, I think it was Chebychev, that between n and 2n always exists another prime. So, let me focus on n+1 and 2n-1 We have: for 2, 2+1 = 3 and 4-1 = 3 for 3, 3+1=4 and 6-1=5 for 4, 4+1 =5 and 8-1=7 for 5, 5+1=6 and 10-1=9 etc etc Now, instead of Riemann getting involved with the Complex Number Plane, how about a Riemann Hypothesis more down to Earth. How about a Riemann Hypothesis with just the plain old Natural Numbers since we find billions and zillions of equivalent statements, but never the most simple statement. So let me proffer my own equivalent statement of the Riemann Hypothesis since the one thing that RH can never get away from is the distribution of prime numbers. Archimedes Plutonium's equivalent statement of the Riemann Hypothesis: The RH, if true says that as n becomes large, very large that both n+1 and 2n-1 are both prime numbers. If that is true, then a proof of that RH equivalent is easily begot from the Euclid Infinitude of Primes proof Indirect method for it makes n+1 and 2n-1 necessarily new primes as n goes to infinity. Now I am curious since I define with precision the finite-number versus the infinite-number as the boundary at 10^500. So I am curious as to whether 10^500 (+1) is a prime number and its associate of 2x(10^500) -1. If not, then let us chose as the boundary where n+1 and 2n-1 in the region of 10^500 are both prime numbers. So that mathematics does share a input into the selection of the boundary between finite and infinite- number. Perhaps a major reason the RH was never proven or steered into a correct path to prove it, was that it was too much cloaked in the Complex Number Plane and if someone had retrieved it out of that cloaking, would have seen it in its more basic form that n+1 and 2n-1 are both primes when n tends to infinity. They may not have realized that a simple tinker to fix the logic flaw of Euclid IP indirect, but at least they would have made RH more understandable. Mathematicians are like artists, once they paint legs on a snake, they refuse to remove the legs and rather increase the complexity.
