SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a comprehensive list of Lehmer pairs of zeros of the Riemann Zeta function, specifically referencing the 6709th and 6710th zeros with imaginary parts 7005.06266 and 7005.10056. Participants noted that while sources like Wolfram Mathworld and the Odlyzko tables provide some information, a complete list of known pairs is elusive. The conversation also highlights the potential for discovering new pairs by analyzing existing zeros, as demonstrated by one user who utilized a spreadsheet to identify pairs differing by less than the canonical example.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Riemann Zeta function
  • Familiarity with Lehmer pairs and their significance
  • Basic spreadsheet skills for data analysis
  • Knowledge of mathematical conjectures related to zeta zeros
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formal definition of Lehmer pairs in mathematical literature
  • Explore the Odlyzko Zeta tables for additional zeros
  • Learn about the implications of Riemann Zeta function zeros on number theory
  • Investigate existing conjectures regarding the distribution of zeta zeros
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, number theorists, and researchers interested in the properties of the Riemann Zeta function and its zeros, particularly those exploring Lehmer pairs and related conjectures.

TL;DR
Where can we find a list of known Lehmer pairs of zeros of Riemann zeta?
Many sources (e.g. Wolfram Mathworld ) give the example of the 6709th and 6710th zeros of ##\zeta## i.e. where the imaginary parts of the argument are 7005.06266... and 7005.10056... respectively.

Where can we find a list of all known pairs? I tried searching "6709, 6710" on OEIS but that didn't help.

Thank you.

Your post gave me an idea which somehow hadn't come to me before. I took the list of zeros from your link (Odlyzko, UMich) and pasted them into a spreadsheet. Then I took successive differences, and sorted them in ascending order of those differences. This gave me about 12 pairs that differ by less than the canonical example of root numbers 6709 and 6710. (I believe there is a formal definition that says how close is close enough to count as a Lehmer pair).
