Did Selberg proved RH ??

the idea is that if the Selberg zeta function related to the length of Geodesics becomes

Z(s+1)= \zeta (s) Z(s)

and the Z(s) has all the roots with real part 1/2 would imply that RH is true ?? , sorry i am not an expert but found it curious since Riemann-Weyll trace is almost equal to Selberg trace and it is supposed that using his Selberg Trace we can prove that all the zeros lie on the line Re(s=1/2) , by the way the function multiplying Z(s) is the usual Riemann Zeta function. providing the surface of the laplacian has geodesic with length log(p_n) for every prime

We would know if RH was proven, so the answer is 'No'. RH is so prominent, that it would spread like a wildfire.

I've seen a couple of ideas how to prove and even claims of proofs in the recent years. Some of them tried to apply physical ideas, a technique which I very much doubt will ever be successful.
 

Thread '##(A/\mathfrak{a})_{\mathfrak{p}/\mathfrak{a}}## and its isomorphism?'

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...

Thread 'Decomposition into irreps of compact Lie group'

When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
