Exploring Dynamical Systems to Tackle the Riemann Hypothesis

This article delves into potential connections between the dynamics of systems and the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), a significant unsolved problem in mathematics. We propose novel research directions that could lead to a proof of the RH by leveraging insights from the study of dynamical systems.

Framework 1: Order-Based Structural Analysis

The provided research explores mathematical structures involving orders and their relationships. One such structure is:

σO-1i2j) - 2σO-1i2j-1)

This bears a resemblance to Li's criterion for RH, which involves relationships between consecutive terms. A potential connection lies in the possibility that these order relationships could offer a new way to analyze the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function, ζ(s). The power-of-2 structure in the exponents also resembles patterns in explicit formulas for prime counting functions. However, this is an analogy and requires further investigation.

Framework 2: Conductor Framework

The research also discusses valuations related to conductors of endomorphism rings:

valp[OK: Z[π]]

This relates to RH through conductor-discriminant formulas, which have established connections to L-functions. The valuation structure could potentially provide insights into the distribution of prime powers within the zeta function.

Framework 3: Class Group Structures

Class groups, denoted cl(O), are central to the research. Their connection to RH stems from class number formulas, L-functions associated with class groups, and the potential for new approaches to analyzing the functional equation of ζ(s).

Novel Research Approaches

Approach 1: Order-Theoretic Approach to Zero Distribution

This approach builds on the order structures within the research. We propose studying the relationship between σO-1i2j) and ζ(1/2 + it). We will investigate if the power-of-2 structure could yield new inequalities for the real parts of zeta zeros.

Limitations: A rigorous justification of the connection between orders and zeta zeros is crucial. This approach may only yield partial results about zero distribution.

Approach 2: Conductor-Based Analysis

This approach uses the conductor framework to develop new estimates for |ζ(1/2 + it)| through valp relationships. We will examine how the endomorphism ring structure might constrain possible zero locations.

Research Agenda

This research agenda outlines the steps to connect the order structures in the given research to known properties of ζ(s) and class number formulas. Intermediate results will include new inequalities for |ζ(1/2 + it)|, relationships between conductors and zero distribution, and extensions of existing zero-free region proofs. The necessary tools include class field theory, explicit formulas for L-functions, and advanced complex analysis.
