The refined Sharp Kahane conjecture for ordinary Dirichlet series

Let L(s)=annsL(s)=\sum a_n n^{-s} be an ordinary Dirichlet series with entire continuation of order at most 11, and let μ(σ)\mu(\sigma) denote its order function on vertical lines. Refined Sharp Kahane conjecture. For every σ\sigma satisfying μ(σ)1\mu(\sigma)\ge 1,

μ(σ+μ(σ))=0.\mu\bigl(\sigma+\mu(\sigma)\bigr)=0.

Equivalently, on any interval where μ1\mu\ge 1, the slope of μ\mu is at most 1-1. The unrestricted relation μ(σ+μ(σ))=0\mu(\sigma+\mu(\sigma))=0 would imply the Lindelöf hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, so the paper isolates this restricted form as a potentially accessible statement; its status is presented as open.
