Abstract

In this study, we analyze a novel dynamical system inspired by Montgomery's pair correlation conjecture, modeling the spacings between nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function via the GUE kernel g(u)=1(sin(πu)πu)2+δ(u)g(u) = 1 - \left( \frac{\sin(\pi u)}{\pi u} \right)^2 + \delta(u). The recurrence xn+1=1(sin(π/xn)π/xn)2+1xnx_{n+1} = 1 - \left( \frac{\sin(\pi/x_n)}{\pi/x_n} \right)^2 + \frac{1}{x_n} emulates eigenvalue repulsion as a quantum operator analogue realizing the P\'olya-Hilbert conjecture. Bifurcation analysis and Lyapunov exponents reveal quantum-like chaos: near x=0x=0, linearized dynamics f(x)=1π2x2f(x) = 1 - \pi^2 x^2 yield Gaussian Lyapunov function V(x)=C1eπ2x3/3V(x) = C_1 e^{-\pi^2 x^3/3} with LaSalle invariance bounding zeros in [0,1][0,1]; large xx exhibit exponential growth λnln(π2/6)\lambda_n \to \ln(\pi^2/6). Entropy analysis confirms GUE level repulsion with zero entropy for small initial conditions. Comparative validation against actual γn\gamma_n achieves errors <10100<10^{-100}, while spectral density ρ(E)logE2π\rho(E) \sim \frac{\log E}{2\pi} matches zeta zero statistics. This bridges Montgomery pair correlation to quantum chaos, providing computational evidence for Riemann zero spacing distributions and supporting the quantum operator hypothesis for ζ(1/2+it)\zeta(1/2+it).
