Newman's conjecture for the De Bruijn–Newman constant

About 13 years old · traced to

Let Ξt(x)\Xi_t(x) be the deformed Riemann zeta function, and let Λ∈R\Lambda\in\mathbb R be the De Bruijn–Newman constant, characterized by the fact that Ξt\Xi_t has only real zeros for t≥Λt\geq\Lambda and has a non-real zero for t<Λt<\Lambda. Newman's conjecture. One has

Λ≥0.\Lambda\geq 0.

The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to Λ≤0\Lambda\leq 0, so the conjecture asserts that the Riemann hypothesis, if true, is only barely true. The source does not state a resolution of this conjecture.
