SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Hilbert-Polya conjecture and its potential implications for proving the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). A proposed Hamiltonian operator, R=1/2+iH, where H is self-adjoint, is suggested to yield the roots of the Riemann zeta function. However, the validity of this operator is contested, with assertions that if such an operator existed, it would constitute a proof of RH. The conversation also explores alternative operators and their implications, concluding that the existence of Hilbert-Polya operators may be necessary but not sufficient for proving RH.

My question is...could the Hilbert-Polya conjecture if true prove RH (Riemann Hypothesis) i mean let,s suppose we find an operator ( i found a Hamiltonian with a real potential that gave all the roots of \zeta(1/2+is) ) in the form:

R=1/2+iH with H self-adjoint so all the "eigenvalues" of R are precisely the roots of the Riemann zeta function... would if mean that Rh is true?..what would happened if we find another operator

R^{a}=a+iT with T also self-adjoint and a different from 1/2 [/tex] ? or perhaps not so worse, an operator but this time T ISN,T self-adjoint so we are granted that all its eigenvalues wont, be real but...what would happen if T in spite of not being self-adjoint had a real root?..then the Riemann zeta function would have a real root in the form a+it with a and t real and a different from 1/2

so in what sense is the Hilbert-Polya hypothesis true and is the same as RH?..

None of that makes any sense.

And, no you didn't find a Hamiltonian operator whose roots were those of the zeta function in the critical strip. If you had then you'd have proven the Riemann Hypothesis. As you've not managed to demonstrate you've done this would you mind not implying you had?
 
-i found a Hamiltonian..i still have the paper in .pdf if you want i can submit to you or to your teachers...i think we discussed enough about it at its time don,t you?...

-the fact is that according to this H-P conjecture there should be exist an operator:

R=1/2+iH with H=H+ (self-adjoint) that its eigenvalues are the roots of the zeta function.

but let,s suppose we managed to find these operators:

a) R=a+iT T is self-adjoint and a is different from 1/2

b) R=a+iT* T* is not self adjoint but has a real eigenvalue so

there would be a root of Zeta function in the form a+it.

-So perhpas H-P operator existence is a necessary but not sufficient condition to prove RH
