A zero density result for the Riemann zeta function

Abstract

In this article, we prove an explicit bound for $N(\sigma,T)$, the number of zeros of the Riemann zeta function satisfying $\sigma < \Re s <1 $ and $0 < \Im s < T$. This result provides a significant improvement over Rosser's bound for $N(T)$ when used for estimating prime counting functions. For instance this is applied to obtain new bounds for $\psi(x)$ (arXiv:1310.6374).
