We introduce variational methods for finding approximate eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of quantum Hamiltonians by constructing a set of orthogonal wave functions which approximately solve the eigenvalue equation.
Several arguments against the truth of the Riemann hypothesis are extensively discussed. These include the Lehmer phenomenon, the Davenport-Heilbronn zeta-function, large and mean values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the critical line, and zeros…

This short note presents a peculiar generalization of the Riemann hypothesis, as the action of the permutation group on the elements of continued fractions. The problem is difficult to attack through traditional analytic techniques, and…
We study spectral properties of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian describing a quantum particle propagating in a random imaginary scalar potential. Cast in the form of an effective field theory, we obtain an analytical expression for the ensemble…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
Suppose that the Riemann hypothesis is false and $\rho_{*} = 1/2 + \eta_{*} + i \gamma_{*}$, $\eta_{*} > 0$, is a nontrivial zero of the Riemann $\zeta$-function off the critical line. Under the negation of the Riemann hypothesis for the…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture, we investigate the distribution of the sequences $(\log|\zeta(\rho+z)|)$ and $(\arg\zeta(\rho+z)).$ Here $\rho=\frac12+i\gamma$ runs over the nontrivial zeros of…
A fresh approach to the long debated question is proposed, starting from the GRAM-BACKLUND analytical continuation of the Zeta function (G-B Zeta expression). Consideration is given to the symmetric (even-exponent) and anti-symmetric (odd…
Using the technology of harmonic analysis, we derive a crossing equation that acts only on the scalar primary operators of any two-dimensional conformal field theory with $U(1)^c$ symmetry. From this crossing equation, we derive bounds on…
The aim of this work is to improve some elementary results regarding both the Deuring-Phenomenon and the Heilbronn-Phenomenon. We will give better estimates regarding both the influence of zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the…
The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is a long-standing open problem in mathematics. It conjectures that non-trivial zeros of the zeta function all have real part equal to 1/2. The extent of the consequences of RH is far-reaching and touches a wide…
In these lectures we first review the important properties of the Riemann $\zeta$-function that are necessary to understand the nature and importance of the Riemann hypothesis (RH). In particular this first part describes the analytic…
In a previous paper, we obtained the functional form of quantum potential by a quasi-Newtonian approach and without appealing to the wave function. We also described briefly the characteristics of this approach to the Bohmian mechanics. In…
It is shown that the absolute values of Riemann's zeta function and two related functions strictly decrease when the imaginary part of the argument is fixed to any number with absolute value at least 8 and the real part of the argument is…
The introduction of strings into the study of the Riemann Hypothesis provides a visualization of the genesis of zeros for the Zeta function. The method is heuristic and when originally introduced suggested strong visual evidence for the…

We propose giving the mathematical concept of the pseudospectrum a central role in quantum mechanics with non-Hermitian operators. We relate pseudospectral properties to quasi-Hermiticity, similarity to self-adjoint operators, and basis…
