At Least One Third of Zeros of Riemann Zeta Function on Critical Line/Historical Note

Historical Note on At Least One Third of Zeros of Riemann Zeta Function on Critical Line

This result, published in April $1974$, was one of the last things Norman Levinson demonstrated.

In August $1974$ he published a further result: that the inequality is in fact strict.

In $1975$ he died of a brain tumour.

The result has since been improved, and it is now known that at least $\dfrac 2 5$ of the nontrivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line.
