Counting zeros of the Riemann zeta function

Abstract: In this article, we show that $$ \left| N (T) - \frac{T}{ 2 \pi} \log \left( \frac{T}{2\pi e}\right) \right| \le 0.1038 \log T + 0.2573 \log\log T + 9.3675 $$ where $N(T)$ denotes the number of non-trivial zeros $\rho$, with $0<\Im(\rho) \le T$, of the Riemann zeta function. This improves the previous result of Trudgian for sufficiently large $T$. The improvement comes from the use of various subconvexity bounds and ideas from the work of Bennett $et$ $al.$ on counting zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions.
