Background

The paper reviews classical facts about the Riemann zeta function, emphasizing the central open question known as the Riemann Hypothesis, which asserts that all nontrivial zeros of ζ(s) lie on the critical line Re(s)=1/2. This conjecture is foundational in analytic number theory due to its deep implications for the distribution of prime numbers.

Within the context of the paper, the Riemann Hypothesis is introduced as motivation for studying PDE flows driven by ζ(s) and related Dirichlet L-functions; the authors note its longstanding unresolved status.

References

Indeed, Riemann assumed in 1859 that all nontrivial zeroes are placed on the line $Re(s)=\frac{1}{2}$. This is the famous Riemann's hypothesis. This problem has attracted considerable interest from many mathematicians, although after 163 years, it remains unsolved.
