SUMMARY

The Berry Operator, defined as H=-iħ(x(d/dx)+1/2), is proposed as a potential solution to the equation ζ(1/2+iE_n)=0, which relates to the Riemann Zeta Function. The discussion highlights the connection between the Berry Conjecture and fractional spheres, although the relationship remains unclear. It is noted that while physicists classify the Berry Operator as Hermitian, mathematicians may disagree due to its nontrivial deficiency indices. This distinction is crucial for understanding the operator's implications in both physics and mathematics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Riemann Zeta Function
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics and operators

Is "Berry Operator"... [tex]H=-i\hbar(x\frac{d}{dx}+1/2)[/tex]

the operator which give all the solutions of [tex]\zeta(1/2+iE_{n})=0[/tex] ?..it seems too easy to be true...:eek: :eek:

Berry Conjecture and fractional spheres

I have heard that Berry conjecture is related to fractional spheres. how could the two be related? o:)
 
According to Wikipedia, that is a "longstanding conjecture". It also notes
Note that is symmetric but might have nontrivial deficiency indices, so while physicists define this operator to be Hermitian, mathematicians do not.

I didn't see anything there about "fractional spheres"!
