We use the conjecture of Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer for averages of ratios of the Riemann zeta function [11] to calculate all the lower order terms of the triple correlation function of the Riemann zeros. A previous approach was suggested by Bogomolny and Keating [6] taking inspiration from semi-classical methods. At that point they did not write out the answer explicitly, so we do that here,...

For $p$ an odd prime, we show that the Fekete polynomial $f_p\left(t\right)={\sum }_{a=0}^{p-1}\left(\frac{a}{p}\right)t^a$ has $\sim {\kappa }_{0}p$ zeros on the unit circle, where $0.500813\>{\kappa }_0\>0.500668$. Here ${\kappa }_0-1/2$ is the probability that the function $1/x+1/(1-x)+{\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}:n\ne 0,1}{\delta }_n/(x-n)$ has a zero in $]0,1[$, where each ${\delta }_n$ is $\pm 1$ with y $1/2$. In fact $f_p\left(t\right)$ has absolute value $\sqrt{p}$ at each primitive $p$th root of unity, and we show that if $|f_p\left(e\right(2i\pi (K+\tau )/p\left)\right)|\<ϵ\sqrt{p}$ for some $\tau \in ]0,1[$ then there is a zero of $f$ close to this arc.
