Quantum Prime Spectral Theory (QPST)

  • 1. ROR icon Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais

Description

This work presents a operator-theoretic formulation of the Riemann explicit formula based on a canonical self-adjoint operator combining arithmetic and archimedean components.

The arithmetic part has discrete spectrum given by logarithms of integers, while the archimedean part is defined in terms of the generator of dilations and carries continuous spectrum. Using regularized resolvent traces, we show that the explicit formula arises naturally in the classical Titchmarsh–Mellin form.

In this framework, the von Mangoldt weights and the Gamma factor originate from distinct spectral mechanisms, and the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function appear as spectral singularities of the resolvent rather than as genuine eigenvalues. The construction is fully canonical and clarifies the structural role of continuous spectrum and spectral regularization, without making any new claim concerning the Riemann Hypothesis.
