Use for $ \zeta’’(s) $ in number theory?

455 Views Asked by At

Let $\zeta(s) $ be the Riemann zeta function. Let $\zeta’(s) $ and $\zeta’’(s) $ be the first and second derivative of that Riemann zeta function.

In analytic number theory I see the use of $\zeta(s) $ and $\zeta’(s)$ or combinations of them alot.

But I wonder about the potential of $\zeta’’(s) $ ?

I assume it has been investigated ?

Should we consider it more ?

The second derivative comes up as well. For example, the number of zeros and the distribution of the real part of non-real zeros of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function is interesting in general, not only for the first derivative. As a reference, see the paper On the Zeros of the Second Derivative of the Riemann Zeta Function under the Riemann Hypothesis.
