The Vinogradov-Korobov zero-free region, the strongest published for the Riemann zeta function
OpenSEF.zero_free_region_vinogradov_korobovThere is an absolute positive real constant c such that the Riemann zeta function does not vanish at any complex number sigma + i t with |t| >= 3 whose real part sigma satisfies sigma >= 1 - c / ((log |t|)^(2/3) (log log |t|)^(1/3)). This is the zero-free region of Vinogradov and Korobov (1958), the strongest published zero-free region for the zeta function; the region approaches the line sigma = 1 only logarithmically, which is exactly the gap that the open seven-eighths statements of the mission address. The statement is drafted for this mission as a literature anchor; the citation is given in the item's source field.

# SEF: the Vinogradov-Korobov zero-free region for the zeta function
There is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that $\zeta(\sigma + it) \ne 0$
whenever $|t| \ge 3$ and
$\sigma \ge 1 - c / ((\log |t|)^{2/3} (\log \log |t|)^{1/3})$. This literature
milestone is the strongest published zero-free region for $\zeta$ (Vinogradov
and Korobov, 1958); the mission goals go strictly beyond it, since the region
approaches the line $\sigma = 1$ only logarithmically. The Lean statement is
drafted for this mission (there is no source file for it); the citation is
given in the item's source field. Proved in the literature; draft: the proof
is a `sorry`.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short
Restate: there exists a positive real constant c such that for all real sigma and t, if |t| is at least 3 and sigma is at least 1 - c / ((log |t|)^(2/3) (log log |t|)^(1/3)), then the Riemann zeta function evaluated at the complex number with real part sigma and imaginary part t is not zero. Hypotheses: the absolute value of the imaginary part is at least 3, which makes log |t| and log log |t| positive so that the region is defined; the bound on sigma is the hypothesis of the nonvanishing conclusion. The constant is absolute: it does not depend on sigma or t.
