i have been reading or at least trying to understand how Connes get the density (approximate) of states
$ N(E)= \frac{E}{2\pi}log \frac{E}{2\pi}- \frac{E}{2\pi}+ \frac{7}{8}+ \frac{1}{\pi}arg \zeta(1/2+iE)$
from the Hamiltonian operator $ H=xp$
the 'smooth' part i know how it is evaluated , simply by computing $ \frac{1}{2\pi}\int dx \int dp H(E-xp) $ and using a certina Maslov index
However , how did he manage to get the oscillating part of the zeros ??? i mean $ \frac{1}{\pi}Arg \zeta (1/2+iE) $
i have been reading the approach http://www.alainconnes.org/docs/bookwebfinal.pdf
