On the extension of the Voronin universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function

Abstract

In the paper, we prove a general universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function ζ (s) on approximation of a class of analytic functions by generalized shifts ζ (s + ia(τ)). Here a(τ) is a real-valued continuous increasing to +∞ function, uniformly distributed modulo 1 and such that |ζ(σ + ia(τ) + it)|², for σ > 1/2, has a traditional mean estimate for every t ∈ ℝ. For example, the function t^v (τ), v > 0, where t(τ) is the Gram function, satisfies the hypotheses of the proved theorem. For the proof, the method of weak convergence of probabilistic measures in the space of analytic functions is developed.
