What, exactly, has Louis de Branges proved about the Riemann Hypothesis?

I know this is a dangerous topic which could attract many cranks and nutters, but: According to Wikipedia [and probably his own website, but I have a hard time seeing exactly what he's claiming] Louis ...

A reformulation of the Riemann Hypothesis

I am studying Sieve theory from Iwaniec's notes. I have come across a theorem which estimates $\varphi(x,N)=\#\{1\leq n \leq x:(n,N)=1\}$, where $N$ is product of distinct primes. Let's define $R(x,...

Relation between the additive Haar measure on $(K,+)$ and the multiplicative Haar measure on $K^{*}$ for a global field $K$

The following question comes from my studying of Alain Connes's paper Trace Formula in Noncommutative Geometry and the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function. In it, on p. 11, Connes notes that if $K$ is ...

The spectrum of the Banach algebra of certain arithmetic functions under Dirichlet convolution

I was thinking about using the tools of functional analysis to study some subring of arithmetic functions under Dirichlet convolution. If I let $D_s$ be the ring of arithmetic functions with finite ...

Recent work on Pseudo-Laplacian and Pseudo-cuspform in the spirit of Riemann Hypothesis after the work of Bombieri and Garrett

( This is my first MO question . I'm totally inexperienced on MO so, forgive me for my mistakes .) Paul Garrett and Enrico Bombieri were (are?) Secretly Working on Pseudo-Laplacians and Pseudo-...

Bailey's lemma in number theory

A pair of sequences $(α_n,β_n)$ is called a Bailey pair if they are related by $$\beta_n=\sum_{r=0}^n\frac{\alpha_r}{(q;q)_{n-r}(aq;q)_{n+r}}$$ or equivalently $$\alpha_n = (1-aq^{2n})\sum_{j=0}^n\...

Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support

This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction? Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...

Eigenfunction of $h\mapsto H(h')|_{[-1,1]}$?

Let $H$ be the Hilbert transform. Is there a continuous, even function $h:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ with support on $[-1,1]$ such that, for some $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$, $$H(h')(t) = \lambda h(t)$$ ...

Analytical predicate for integers over complex numbers

A complex number $z$ is an integer if and only if $\sin(\pi z)=0$. It follows that a complex number $z$ is an integer if and only $\sin^2(\pi z) = 0$. So for a real analytic function $f$ and any real ...

Validity of analysis of summation of function of primes using Abel–Plana summation:

Consider the analytic function $g(x)$ Define $$f(x)=g(x)\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac{π\Gamma(x)}{2x}\right)}{\cos^2\left(\frac{π}{2x}\right)}$$ Note that: $$f(p)=g(p) \text{ for prime } p$$ And $f(n)=0$ ...

Encoding numbers with relationship into one and back

Given a set of many variables $S=\{x_1,x_2, ...., x_i\}$, and any subset $S'$ of $S$, I need a function $f$ which maps $S'$ to a value $x$ and a function $f'$ which maps $x$ back to set $S'$. I know ...

On a Duality between Riemann-weil explicit formula and Abel- Plana summation of trigonometric prime counting function:

Consider the analytic function $g(x)$ Now define $f(x)=g(x)\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac{π\Gamma(x)}{2x}\right)}{\cos^2\left(\frac{π}{2x}\right)}$ Such that $|f(x+it)|=o(e^{2πt})$ uniformly for every $x$...
