Gaps between zeros of the derivative of the Riemann ξ-function

Original · EN

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the distribution of gaps between the zeros of ξ'(s). We prove that a positive proportion of gaps are less than 0.796 times the average spacing and, in the other direction, a positive proportion of gaps are greater than 1.18 times the average spacing. We also exhibit the existence of infinitely many normalized gaps smaller (larger) than 0.7203 (1.5, respectively).
