This article proves the Riemann hypothesis, which states that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have a real part equal to 1/2. We inspect in detail the integral form of the (symmetrized) completed zeta function, which is a product…
Standard zeta function regularisation enforces a scale-independent prescription for spectral aggregation, effectively fixing the relative weight of spectral contributions. We relax this constraint by replacing the derivative at $s=0$ with a…
