The Riemann hypothesis posits that the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) all lie on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2.

It has been verified that the first 1×10^13 nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line. Conrey (1989) proved that at least 40% of the nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line.
