In 1942 Atle Selberg conjectured[1] that for a fixed satisfying the condition , a sufficiently large and , , the interval contains at least real zeros of the Riemann zeta function . Atle Selberg proved it for the case .

In 1984 Anatolii Alexeevitch Karatsuba proved[2][3][4] the Selberg conjecture.

In 1992 A.A. Karatsuba proved[5], that an analog of the Selberg conjecture holds for «almost all» intervals , , where is an arbitrarily small fixed positive number. The Karatsuba method permits to investigate zeros of the Riemann zeta-function on «supershort» intervals of the critical line, that is, on the intervals , the length of which grows slower than any, even arbitrarily small degree . In particular, he proved that for any given numbers , satisfying the conditions almost all intervals for contain at least zeros of the function . This estimate is quite close to the one that follows from the Riemann hypothesis.
