Explicit Zero-Free Regions and a $\tau$-Li-type Criterion

Abstract

$\tau$-Li coefficients describe if a function satisfies the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis or not. In this paper we prove that certain values of the $\tau$-Li coefficients lead to existence or non-existence of certain zeros. The first main result gives explicit numbers $N_1$ and $N_2$ such that if all real parts of the $\tau$-Li coefficients are non-negative for all indices between $N_1$ and $N_2$, then the function has non zeros outside a certain region. According to the second result, if some of the real parts of the $\tau$-Li coefficients are negative for some index n between numbers $n_1$ and $n_2$, then there is at least one zero outside a certain region.
