Title: Zeros of the derivatives of the completed Riemann zeta function

Abstract:
For the completed Riemann zeta function $xi(s)$, it is known that the Riemann Hypothesis for $xi(s)$ implies the Riemann hypothesis for higher order derivatives $xi^{(m)}(s)$ where $m$ is any positive integer. In this talk, we discuss the distribution of the fractional parts of the sequence $(alpha gamma_m)$ where $alpha$ is any fixed non-zero real number and $gamma_m$ runs over imaginary parts of zeros of $xi^{(m)}(s)$. This involves obtaining horizontal distribution of zeros such as zero density estimate and explicit formula type results for the zeros of $xi^{(m)}(s)$.
