Abstract: We will review the techniques used to prove that a positive proportion of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-Function lie on the critical line Re(s)=1/2. The famous Riemann hypothesis states that all the zeros lie there. We will then discuss the mollifiers that allow us to show that > 41% of zeros are critical. This is joint work with A. Roy and A. Zaharescu.
