Abstract

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, Montgomery showed by means of his pair correlation method that at least two-thirds of the zeros of Riemann's zeta-function are simple. Later he and Taylor improved this to 67.25 percent and, more recently, Cheer and Goldston increased the percentage to 67.2753. Here we prove by a new method that if the Riemann and Generalized Lindel\"of Hypotheses hold, then at least 70.3704 percent of the zeros are simple and at least 84.5679 percent are distinct. Our method uses mean value estimates for various functions defined by Dirichlet series sampled at the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function.
