About this strategy to prove Riemann Hypothesis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on a proposed strategy to prove the Riemann Hypothesis using two operators, D_{+} and D_{-}, defined in the context of operator theory. The author claims that the Hamiltonian H = D_{+}D_{-} is Hermitian, leading to real eigenvalues E_{n} = s_{n}(1-s_{n}), where 's' represents the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. However, participants express skepticism regarding the validity of the proof, questioning the necessity of additional conditions for establishing the Riemann Hypothesis. The discussion also highlights concerns about the author's credibility, including allegations of misrepresentation regarding his academic position.

what do you think ?

Author defines 2 operators D_{+} and D_{-} so they satisfy the properties D_{+} = D^{*}_{-} D_{-} = D^{*}_{+}

D_{+} =x\frac{d}{dx}+ \frac{dV}{dx}

D_{-} =-x\frac{d}{dx}+ \frac{dV}{dx}

If we define the Hamiltonian H= D_{+}D_{-} this Hamiltonian would be Hermitian

and the energies would be E_{n}= s_{n} (1-s_{n}) , here 's' are the zeros for the Riemann zeta function , so since the eigenvalues are real s(1-s) is real ONLY whenever ALL the zeros have real part 1/2 but ¿is this true ? , have this man proved Riemann HYpothesis ?

Talking about the "Hamiltonian" and "energy" for a purely mathematics problem looks to me as just a way of making things more complicated and vaguer.
 
it is simply operator theory ,

although i believe that if s is an eigenvalue of D_{+} , then the complex conjugate to 's' will be the eigenvalue of D_{-} , so the Eigenvalues of Hamiltonian H will be H\Psi = s.s^{*}\Psi , so perhaps we will need another condition

No .
 
It amuses me to research these crackpots. Besides proving the Riemann Hypothesis, he has also generalized General Relativity, Super String Theories, Quantum Mechanics and every other physical theory into "Topological GeometroDynamics (TGD)". He fraudulently states he is a Professor at the University of Helsinki, and provides false links to his non-existent University webpage to boot.
 
0102031v10.pdf this is version ten of the paper ... ?
