Stopple's type 2 zero curvature estimate for zeros of the zeta derivative

About 1 year old · traced to

Let ρ′=β′+iγ′\rho'=\beta'+i\gamma' be a sequence of type 2 zeros of ζ′(s)\zeta'(s), and let the sum range over the other zeros λ′≠ρ′\lambda'\ne\rho' of ζ′(s)\zeta'(s). Stopple's type 2 curvature estimate. If

(β′−1/2)log⁡(γ′)→0,(\beta'-1/2)\log(\gamma')\to 0,

then

log⁡(γ′)≪∑λ′≠ρ′Re⁡(1λ′−(1/2+iγ′)).\log(\gamma')\ll \sum_{\lambda'\ne\rho'}\operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{1}{\lambda'-(1/2+i\gamma')}\right).

The estimate is identified as sufficient for the forward implication in the paper's reduction of the type 2 zero conjecture to a lower bound on level-curve curvature. It is presented as a conjectural step, and no resolution is supplied.
