=== Zero-free region === The location of the Riemann zeta function's zeros is of great importance in number theory. The [[prime number theorem]] is equivalent to the fact that there are no zeros of the zeta function on the {{math|Re(''s'') {{=}} 1}} line.<ref name="Diamond1982">{{cite journal|first=Harold G.|last=Diamond|title=Elementary methods in the study of the distribution of prime numbers|journal=Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society|volume=7|issue=3|year=1982|pages=553–89|mr=670132|doi=10.1090/S0273-0979-1982-15057-1|doi-access=free}}</ref> It is also known that zeros do not exist in certain regions slightly to the left of the {{math|Re(''s'') {{=}} 1}} line, known as zero-free regions. For instance, Korobov<ref>{{cite journal | first1 = Nikolai Mikhailovich| last1 = Korobov | title = Estimates of trigonometric sums and their applications | journal = Usp. Mat. Nauk | volume = 13 | number = 4 | year = 1958 | pages =185–192 }}</ref> and Vinogradov<ref>{{cite journal | first1 = I.M.| last1 = Vinogradov | title = Eine neue Abschätzung der Funktion <math>\zeta(1+ it)</math>| journal = Russian. Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.

Asymptotically, this is the largest known zero-free region for the zeta function. Explicit zero-free regions are also known.
