Elliott-Halberstam conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Elliott-Halberstam conjecture is not a direct implication of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) or the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). However, the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem, which is related to the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, has been proven under the assumption of GRH. Notably, Bombieri-Vinogradov can also be established unconditionally through Large Sieve techniques, indicating a nuanced relationship between these conjectures and theorems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture
  • Familiarity with the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) and Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH)
  • Knowledge of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem
  • Proficiency in Large Sieve techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture on prime number distribution
  • Study the proof of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem under the assumption of GRH
  • Explore unconditional proofs using Large Sieve techniques
  • Investigate the connections between RH, GRH, and other number theory conjectures
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, number theorists, and researchers interested in prime number theory and the relationships between major conjectures in mathematics.

I was wondering if one of the consequences of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture would imply the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) or the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH)?
Or at least if there is a connection between the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture and RH or GRH?
I ask because the Bombieri-Vinogradov (which is related to the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture) theorem was proven assuming GRH.

Neither of EH or GRH is a consequence of the other. As for Bombieri--Vinogradov, while you can prove it from GRH, it is true unconditionally by using Large Sieve techniques.
