But when I read it again today, I was not able to find the relevant part anymore. I was hoping that someone else can find the relevant part from reading it and thus consider it as a reference. | |

Chandan's answer is proposing a setting (based on Weil's explicit formula) where solving the global RH needs a bunch of analytical objects whose theory is completely different from their curves over finite fields counterpart, thus suggesting that the correct citation of Weil was "the Riemann Hypothesis would be settled by analysis rather than prime number theory" | |
