Large Oscillations of the Argument of the Riemann Zeta-function

Abstract

Let $S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, defined as $$ S(t)=\dfrac{1}{\pi}\,\Im\log\zeta(1/2+it). $$ Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove that $$ S(t)=\Omega_{\pm}\bigg(\dfrac{\log t\log\log\log t}{\log\log t}\bigg). $$ This improves the classical omega results of Montgomery and matches with the $\Omega$-result obtained by Bondarenko and Seip.
