Multiplicites of zeros of $\zeta(s)$ and its values over short intervals

Abstract: Let $r = m(\rho)$ denote the multiplicity of the complex zero $\rho = \beta + i\gamma$ of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. The present work, which is a continuation of [1], brings forth several results involving $m(\rho)$. It is seen that the problem can be reduced to the estimation of integrals of the zeta-function over “very short” intervals. This is related to the “Karatsuba conjectures” (see [2]), related to the quantity
$$ F(T,\Delta)\,:=\,\max_{t\in[T,\, T+\Delta]} |\zeta({\textstyle\frac12}+it)| \qquad 0 < \Delta\,=\,\Delta(T) \le 1. $$
By the complex integration technique, a new, explicit bound for $m(\beta+i\gamma)$ is also derived, which is relevant when $\beta$ is close to unity. As a corollary, it follows that, for $\tfrac{5}{6}\le\beta < 1$ and $\gamma\ge\gamma_1$, we have
$$ m(\beta+i\gamma)\,\le\,4\log\log\gamma + 20(1-\beta)^{3/2}\log \gamma. $$
