Abstract

The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is renowned for its profound connection to the distribution of prime numbers and remains one of the central unsolved problems in mathematics. A deep understanding of prime distribution is essential for developing efficient algorithms and advancing number theory. The RH asserts that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$, and it is widely regarded as the most important open problem in pure mathematics. Several equivalent formulations of the RH exist. Gr\"onwall's function $G$ is defined for all natural numbers $n > 1$ by \[ G(n) = \frac{\sigma(n)}{n \cdot \log \log n}, \] where $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of $n$ and $\log$ is the natural logarithm. This paper leverages the properties of extremely abundant numbers, which are the left-to-right maxima of the function $n \mapsto G(n)$. In 2014, Nazardonyavi and Yakubovich established that the RH holds if and only if there are infinitely many extremely abundant numbers. Using this criterion, we introduce a novel approach that yields a complete proof of the RH.
