TRANSCENDENTAL NUMBERS AND PROOF THAT THE ZEROS OF
RIEMANN ZETA FUNCTION ζ(s) ARE ONLY AND ONLY THOSE
WITH THE REAL PART Re=½
Ing. Pier Francesco Roggero, Dott. Michele Nardelli, P.A. Francesco Di Noto
Abstract:
In this paper we focus our attention on the behavior of transcendental
number that is a (possibly complex) number that is not algebraic— it is not a
root of a non-zero polynomial equation with rational coefficients.
Furthermore, we prove in paragraph 2 that the zeros of the Riemann zeta
function are only and only those with real part equal to Re(½).

1. TRANSCENDENTAL NUMBERS
A transcendental number is an irrational and unlimited number that is not the solution
of any polynomial equation of the form:
an x n + an−1 x n−1 + ... + a1 x + a0 = 0
where n ≥ 1 and the coefficients ai are rational numbers (ie, integers or "fractional") not
all equal to zero.
The solutions of the polynomial equation are all real or complex numbers ε C but they
are never transcendental numbers.
The first issue that proved to be transcendent without being purpose built was e, by
Charles Hermite in 1873. In 1882, Ferdinand von Lindemann published a demonstration
based on the previous work of Hermite, the transcendence of π. In 1874, Georg Cantor
had proved the existence and non-countability of transcendental numbers.
The discovery of transcendental numbers allowed the proof of the impossibility of
several ancient geometric problems relating to a construction with ruler and compass,
the most famous, the squaring of the circle, it is impossible because π is transcendental.

1.1 TRANSCENDENT NUMBER e FOR EXCELLENCE
e is a constant, very important because of its applications in various fields of
mathematics.
Its expression with 55 decimal places is: 2,71828 18284 59045 23536 02874 71352
66249 77572 47093 69995 95749
The Euler number is connected with the exponential function, which maps a real
number to the number given by the power e x , and with the natural logarithm function
(the inverse of the exponential function). Formally it can be defined as the value that the
exponential function assumes in x = 1 .
We will see that this number is the transcendent "for excellence", as derived from it all
the other transcendental numbers.
The number e can be defined in one of the following ways:
•
how the value of the limit

 1
e := lim1 +  ;
n→∞
 n
•
as the sum of the series

where n! is the factorial of n.

x = ex
The function ex is "self-generating" or restart always.
This also happens when we have a function f(ex) or when in a function appears ex
this factor never disappears.
It is for this reason that in this paper e has been called the transcendental number
"for excellence."

1.2 NUMBER π TRANSCENDENT
In plane geometry, π is defined as the ratio between the measure of the length of the
circumference and the length measurement of the diameter of a circle, or even as the
area of a circle of radius 1.
The first 99 decimal digits of π:
3,14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 58209
74944 59230 78164 06286 20899 86280 34825 34211 7067
To draw in a Cartesian plane π we can. for example, build a quarter of a circle of radius
equal to 2.
Radius = 2
¼ of circumference = π
We note that we can draw a transcendental number as the arc of a curve.
The number π can also be expressed as number e
In fact, it has the following formula that connects the arctan (z) with the natural
complex logarithm, where z is a complex number of the form z = a ± ib:
arctan( z ) =
i
 1 − iz 
log

2  1 + iz 

Substituting z =1:

2  1 + i 
 1− i 



1+ i 
4 arctan(1) = 2i log
4 arctan(1) = 2i log(− i ) = 2i
(− iπ ) = π
2
and then we find that:
4arctan(1) = π
We note that to find this remarkable result, we have used the complex logarithm which
has as its basis e.
We have thus shown that π is also a transcendental number because it comes from
e, that is the transcendental number for excellence.
We can also define π with this beautiful limit that also has a geometric meaning
remarkable considering regular polygons inscribed in a circle where n is the number of
sides:
lim n tan
n→∞
180°
=π ,
n
it is nothing more than the area of the circumscribed circle, thus confirming the intuition
that as the number of sides of the polygon grows, it go to "fill in" the circumscribed
circle with radius = 1, for a regular polygon of n sides endless.

Or considering the perimeter of a regular polygon of n infinite sides it can also define
the following remarkable limit:

 n 
lim n → ∞ = nsen
Where to tend to infinity n the regular polygon inscribed in the circle, with infinite sides
"infinitesimal" is getting closer to the circle with radius = ½
Observe that both transcendental numbers e and π can be described with the limits
to infinity.

1.3 TRANSCENDENT NUMBERS eα AND ALL NUMBERS THAT
RESULTS FROM f(ex) ARE TRANSCENDENT
eα is a transcendental number if α is any complex number ε C (set of complex numbers)
and α ≠ 0 because it is derived from e.
So, it follows also that the constant Gelfond:
eπ is a transcendental number.
If we consider all the functions f(ex) where is eα or an integral function with ex and
all possible combinations we always have a transcendental number.
This follows from the considerations in paragraph 1.1 because the function ex is
"self-generating", which always recurs.
This is also true if we consider the natural logarithm function loge(x) function or
the more general complex logarithm function loge(x) with z = a ± ib because it is
the inverse function of ex
We will see in Section 1.6 that even a logarithm logb(x) in any base b always
generates transcendental numbers because we are using the proper base change
with the number e
So the sums, products, powers, etc ... associated with the number e transcendent for
excellence are all transcendental numbers.
For example:
π + e, π − e, πe, π/e, ππ, ee, πe, π√2, eπ2 , 3e, 2+e
are all transcendent numbers.

1.4 TRANSCENDENT NUMBERS ab
ab is a transcendental number if a and b are complex numbers ε C (set of complex
numbers) but where b cannot be integer or rational and also α ≠ 0 and 1.
This statement addresses the seventh problem of Hilbert.
To prove this we consider:
ab = eblog(a)
Even in this case ab always derives from the number e transcendental for excellence,
because it is simply hidden by the formula described above.
If b is a fractional number we would have an irrational number of radical type, for
example with a = 2 and b = ½
2½ = √2
Instead if b is an irrational number or transcendental we have that, for example, with a =
2 and b = √ 2:
2√2 is a transcendental number.

1.5 TRASCENDENT sen(a), cos(a), tan(a), cot(a), sec(a) e csc(a)
NUMBERS
The values of the trigonometric functions sen(a), cos(a), tan(a), cot(a), sec(a) and csc(a)
are transcendental numbers if a is a complex number ε C (set of complex numbers),
obviously not legitimate in cases where α = 0
To prove this we consider:
We know that the sine and cosine functions are respectively the real and the imaginary
part of the complex exponential function when its argument is an imaginary number:
eiθ = cos θ + isenθ .
This relationship was noticed for the first time by Euler and, for this reason, the identity
is known as Euler's formula and can also be expressed as:
eiπ + 1 = 0
This allows to extend the definition of the trigonometric functions to a complex
argument z:
(− 1)n
∞
senz = ∑
(2n + 1)!
n =0
z
2 n +1
eiz − e −iz

2i
(− 1)n z 2n = eiz + e −iz
2
n =0 (2 n )!
∞
cos z = ∑
= cosh (iz )
where i2 = −1 and senh(iz) and cosh(iz) are the hyperbolic sine and cosine functions.
Furthermore, for real x we have:

cos x = Re eix
senx = Im eix
Also in this case we can see that sen(z) and cos(z) depend on the complex exponential
function.
Then replacing z with any complex number a we obtained that sen(a) and cos(a) are
transcendental numbers.
Obviously this also applies to the tan(a), for the cot(a) =
csc(a) =
1
which are the opposite functions.

1.6 PROOF THAT THE NUMBERS logb (a) LOGARITHMS AT ANY
BASIS b ARE TRANSCENDENT
logb(a) at any base is a transcendental number if a is a positive rational number (positive
integer or fraction) and a ≠ 1.
This arises simply because the natural log is the inverse function of the exponential
function.
Proof that logb(a) at any base is transcendental:
Just use the following formula to obtain:
log b x =
log k x
log k b
log b x =
log e x
log e b
which becomes:
And so we are brought back to the natural logarithm log, and we can say that a
logarithm in any base b with x equal to a positive integer or fraction is a transcendental
number.

1.7 ALL THE VALUES OF GAMMA FUNCTION Γ(z) ARE
TRASCENDENT
The Gamma function, also known as the Euler gamma function is a function
continuous on the positive real numbers, which extends the concept of factorial to
complex numbers, in the sense that for every non-negative integer n we have
Γ(n + 1) = n!
where n! denotes the factorial, which is the product of the integers from 1 to n: n! = 1 ×
2 × 3 × ... × n.
We also know that:
Γ( z + 1) = zΓ( z )
for which it has Γ(z ) = Γ(z + 1) / z . In this way, the definition of Γ can be extended from
the half-plane Rz > 0 to the strip − 1 < Rz < 0 , and subsequently to the entire plan Rz < 0 ,
with the exception of the straight lines Rz = 0,−1,−2,... or the gamma function Γ(z) does
not exist for negative integers and in 0
Since Γ(1) = 1, the relation above implies, for all natural numbers n,
Γ(n + 1) = n!
Another example is the following alternative formula COMPLETE:
+∞
Γ( z ) = ∑
n =0
(− 1)n
+∞
1
+ ∫ t z −1e −t dt .
n! z + n 1
In this formula are explicit negative integers and 0 that are not allowed.

Also in this case the Gamma function depends on e, transcendental number for
excellence.
Probably the most well-known Gamma function assumes that the value of non-integers
is
1
Γ  = π ,
2
Transcendental number because π in turn depends from e
In addition to this and the aforementioned value assumed on natural numbers are
interesting, the following properties, which affect the odd multiples of ½:
n 

 n  (n − 2 )!!

The formula is extremely complicated but still perfectly solved by numerical methods.
It is to solve an equation where b is the unknown and using numerical methods we find
all zeros that we know of the function ζ (s ) .
For instance, even with the extremes of the integral (0, 999) we find replacing to
b=14.134725142 an approximate value ½ to 0.4998 ...

We can also remove the restriction that a ε (0,1) and consider all values of a ε R (set of
real number) then all s=a+ib except of course the only value that is not valid because
ζ (1 + ) = +∞ and ζ (1 − ) = −∞
So we have endless equations identical to the result ½ which is absurd.
The proof is then carried to absurd, since the only values that cancel the zeta
function ζ (s ) = 0 are only and only those with s=½±jb, necessary and sufficient
condition.

CURVES

equation x 2 − x − 1 = 0 , whose roots are:

Now consider the right triangle thus formed:
The 2 catheti as values Φ and e, while the hypotenuse is worth approximately π.
To be precise, we have:
hypotenuse =
e2 + φ 2 =
10,007... = 3,1634….

From these considerations and also from paragraph 1.2 relative to the fourth part
of a circle which defines the length of the curve equal to π, we obtain that the
transcendental numbers can be drawn only as arcs of curves.
If we had designed a spherical triangle on a sphere, then we would have a triangle
with two arcs of curves exactly equal to π and e (because they are transcendental)
while the third side of the triangle can also be a segment (because it is irrational)
but by drawing however on a sphere becomes an arc of a curve.
From this it is clear that the transcendental numbers are arcs of curves in the plan
and irrational numbers, rational or entire are segments in a two-dimensional plane
as the Cartesian plane.
Mind you that the exponential function ex at the point x = 1 is obviously equal to e, and
then we might object that is equal to the vertical segment but this is FALSE, because the
function ex that we draw is only an approximation using a value that is just e number
transcendental for excellence.

4. ANALYTICAL PROOF THAT TRANSCENDENTAL NUMBERS
ARE ARCS OF CURVES
The length of an arc is a positive real number that intuitively measure the extension of
an arc or a curve.
To calculate the length of a curve it is necessary that the curve is differentiable in the
interval that we consider.
So if we know the function f(t) we have that the arc length in the interval (a, b) with b>a
in which it is derivable is the real value named L(φ):
L(ϕ ) = ∫
1 + f ' (t ) dt

Let, for example, to apply it to calculate the length of a quarter of the circumference
introduced in paragraph 1.2 about π.
The equation of the circle with center at the origin and radius r = 2 is the following:
x2 + y2 = 4
y2 = 4 - x2
When considering the positive part of the 1st quadrant, we have:
y = + 4 − x2
Applying the formula:

This proves for the case of the transcendental number π that in a two-dimensional
Cartesian plane it can draw only as a arc of a circumference and not as a segment
(because it is not real number).
In fact, these curves are not polynomial equations of the type:
