On the sign of the real part of the Riemann zeta-function
  We consider the distribution of $\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ on fixed lines $\sigma > \frac12$, and in particular the density \[d(\sigma) = \lim_{T \rightarrow +\infty}   \frac{1}{2T}   |\{t \in [-T,+T]: |\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)| > \pi/2\}|\,,\] and the closely related density \[d_{-}(\sigma) = \lim_{T \rightarrow +\infty}   \frac{1}{2T}   |\{t \in [-T,+T]: \Re\zeta(\sigma+it) < 0\}|\,.\] Using classical results of Bohr and Jessen, we obtain an explicit expression for the characteristic function $\psi_\sigma(x)$ associated with $\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$. We give explicit expressions for $d(\sigma)$ and $d_{-}(\sigma)$ in terms of $\psi_\sigma(x)$. Finally, we give a practical algorithm for evaluating these expressions to obtain accurate numerical values of $d(\sigma)$ and $d_{-}(\sigma)$.
