Abstract
We show that the Riemann zeta function ζ has only countably many self-intersections on the critical line, i.e., for all but countably many z∈Cdouble-struck the equation ζ(1/2+it)=z has at most one solution t∈Rdouble-struck. More generally, we prove that if F is analytic in a complex neighborhood of R and locally injective on Rdouble-struck, then either the set (a,b)∈Rdouble-struck2:a≠b and F(a)=F(b) is countable, or the image F(Rdouble-struck) is a loop in Cdouble-struck. © 2013 Elsevier LtdI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
