In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010) no.4, 1109-1114. Furthermore, we formulate a criterion for the partial Riemann hypothesis and we provide some numerical evidence for it using new formulas for the Li coefficients.
In their 1995 paper, Jean-Benoît Bost and Alain Connes (BC) constructed a quantum dynamical system whose partition function is the Riemann zeta function $ζ(β)$, where $β$ is an inverse temperature. We formulate Riemann hypothesis (RH) as a property of the low temperature Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) states of this theory. More precisely, the expectation value of the BC phase operator can be written as $$ϕ_β(q)=N_{q-1}^{β-1} ψ_{β-1}(N_q), $$ where $N_q=\prod_{k=1}^qp_k$ is the primorial number of order $q$ and $ ψ_b $ a generalized Dedekind $ψ$ function depending on one real parameter $b$ as $$ ψ_b (q)=q \prod_{p \in \mathcal{P,}p \vert q}\frac{1-1/p^b}{1-1/p}.$$ Fix a large inverse temperature $β>2.$ The Riemann hypothesis is then shown to be equivalent to the inequality $$ N_q |ϕ_β(N_q)|ζ(β-1) >e^γ\log \log N_q, $$ for $q$ large enough. Under RH, extra formulas for high temperatures KMS states ($1.5< β<2$) are derived.
