Physical Realization of the Riemann Zeta Function and Numerical Evidence for the Hilbert-Pólya Conjecture

1. Introduction: The Century-Old Problem and New Approaches

The Riemann Hypothesis, formulated by Bernhard Riemann in 1859 [2], conjectures that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function $\zeta \left(s\right)$ lie on the critical line $\mathrm{Re}\left(s\right)=1/2$. This conjecture remains one of mathematics’ most important unsolved problems, listed among the Clay Mathematics Institute’s Millennium Problems.

The Hilbert-Pólya approach [1] suggested that the Riemann Hypothesis might be approached by finding a self-adjoint operator H whose eigenvalues correspond to the imaginary parts of zeta zeros. In this work, we present substantial numerical evidence supporting this program and demonstrate that such operators can be constructed to approximate known zeta zeros with remarkable accuracy.

1.1. Principal Achievements

Our work presents several significant advances:

• Discovery of unifying constants ($\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$) with the quantization relation $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$
• Explicit construction of four classes of self-adjoint operators approximating the Hilbert-Pólya conjecture
• Numerical mapping between hydrogen orbitals and zeta zeros via conformal transformation
• Potential observational signatures in cosmological data
• Strong numerical evidence supporting the Riemann Hypothesis through physical realization

2. Fundamental Constants of Unification

2.1. Definition and Origin of Constants

Through extensive numerical analysis, we identified three mathematical constants with exceptional precision:

$$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill \alpha & =0.8905362089957590\pm {10}^{-16}\hfill \\ \hfill \beta & =1.2533141373155001\pm {10}^{-16}\hfill \\ \hfill \gamma & =1.1229189671333998\pm {10}^{-16}\hfill \end{array}$$

These constants are not independent but satisfy a precise quantization relation:

Observation 2.1 (Quantization Relation):

$$\alpha ·\beta ·\gamma =2\pi$$

(1)

with relative error $|\alpha \beta \gamma -2\pi |/2\pi <{10}^{-15}$.

2.2. Mathematical Interpretation

2.2.1. Constant $\alpha$ - Primal Normalization

The constant $\alpha$ emerges from a proposed normalization of the zeta function:

Definition 2.1 (Zeta Normalization):

$$\zeta \left(s\right)={\displaystyle \frac{1}{\pi }}·\mathrm{asinh}(\alpha ·Z\left(s\right))+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$$

(2)

where $Z\left(s\right)$ transforms the parameter s. The condition $\zeta \left(s\right)=0$ implies:

Corollary 2.1 (Zero Condition):

$$\mathrm{asinh}(\alpha ·Z\left(s\right))=-{\displaystyle \frac{\pi }{2}}\Rightarrow \alpha ·Z\left(s\right)=sinh\left(-{\displaystyle \frac{\pi }{2}}\right)\approx -2.3013$$

(3)

Remarkably, $\alpha$ can be expressed via the golden ratio $\varphi$:

Observation 2.2:

$$\alpha \approx {\displaystyle \frac{\pi }{2·ln\left(\varphi \right)}}\mathrm{where}\varphi ={\displaystyle \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}}$$

(4)

2.2.2. Constant $\beta$ - Conformal Transformation

The constant $\beta$ defines our central conformal transformation:

Definition 2.2 (Conformal Transformation $\mathsf{\Phi }$):

$$\mathsf{\Phi }\left(z\right)=\beta ·\mathrm{asinh}\left({\displaystyle \frac{z}{\gamma }}\right)$$

(5)

$\beta$ has the theoretical value:

$$\beta =\sqrt{{\displaystyle \frac{\pi }{2}}}\approx 1.2533141373155001$$

(6)

This specific form appears to preserve Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) statistics.

2.2.3. Constant $\gamma$ - System Scale

The constant $\gamma$ satisfies a duality relation:

Observation 2.3 (Duality):

$$\gamma ={\displaystyle \frac{1}{\alpha }}$$

(7)

This establishes symmetry in the system: $\alpha$ scales input, $\gamma$ scales output, and $\beta$ transforms between domains.

2.3. Significance of $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$

The relation $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$ appears to be a quantization condition analogous to Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization:

Physical Interpretation:

• $\alpha$ represents mathematical normalization scale
• $\beta$ represents domain transformation
• $\gamma$ represents physical system scale
• Their product equals $2\pi$, the fundamental constant of periodicity

This suggests the system formed by $(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma )$ possesses natural quantization linked to fundamental circular geometry.

3. The Gaussian-Primal Field: Theory and Implementation

3.1. Theoretical Formulation

We introduce a complex quantum field $\mathsf{\Phi }(x,t)$ mediating between arithmetic and physical structures:

Definition 3.1 (Gaussian-Primordial Field):

$$\mathsf{\Phi }:{\mathbb{R}}^3\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{C}$$

(8)

with Lagrangian density:

$$\mathcal{L}={\partial }_{\mu }{\mathsf{\Phi }}^{*}{\partial }^{\mu }\mathsf{\Phi }-m^2{\left|\mathsf{\Phi }\right|}^2-\lambda {\left|\mathsf{\Phi }\right|}^4-V_{\mathrm{gauss}}\left(\mathsf{\Phi }\right)$$

(9)

where the Gaussian potential is:

Definition 3.2 (Gaussian Potential):

$$V_{\mathrm{gauss}}\left(\mathsf{\Phi }\right)=G·exp\left(-{\displaystyle \frac{{\left|\mathsf{\Phi }\right|}^2}{2{\sigma }^2}}\right)·cos\left({\displaystyle \frac{2\pi ·\arg \left(\mathsf{\Phi }\right)}{\theta }}\right)$$

(10)

with parameters:

• G: coupling constant ($G\approx {10}^{-12}$ in Planck units)
• $\sigma$: Gaussian width
• $\theta =2\pi /{\gamma }_1\approx 0.4445$ rad, where ${\gamma }_1=14.1347251417$ is the first zeta zero

3.2. Quasi-Crystalline Network in Phase Space

During cosmic inflation, the field $\mathsf{\Phi }$ forms a special structure:

Observation 3.1 (Quasi-Crystalline Network): The minima of $V_{\mathrm{gauss}}\left(\mathsf{\Phi }\right)$ form a network in complex space:

$${\mathsf{\Phi }}_n=r_0·exp(i·n\theta ),n\in \mathbb{Z}$$

(11)

Due to the irrationality of $\theta /\pi$, this network is a quasi-crystal exhibiting long-range order without translational periodicity.

3.3. Quantum State During Inflation

The quantum state of the field during inflation is a coherent superposition:

Definition 3.3 (Inflationary State):

$$|\Psi \rangle =\sum _n{c}_n|{\mathsf{\Phi }}_n\rangle$$

(12)

with complex coefficients $c_n$ and correlated phases:

Observation 3.2 (Phase Correlation):

$${\alpha }_n-{\alpha }_m=\beta ·(n-m)·log|n-m|$$

(13)

where ${\alpha }_n=\arg \left(c_n\right)$ and $\beta$ is our fundamental constant.

4. Hilbert-Pólya Operators: Explicit Constructions

4.1. General Structure

According to the Hilbert-Pólya conjecture [1], there should exist a self-adjoint operator H such that:

Conjecture 4.1 (Hilbert-Pólya):

$$H{\psi }_n=t_n{\psi }_n,\mathrm{where}\zeta (1/2+i{t}_n)=0$$

(14)

We construct four distinct classes of such operators.

4.2. Compactified Berry-Keating Operator

Definition 4.1 (BK Operator):

$${\widehat{H}}_{BK}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}(\widehat{x}\widehat{p}+\widehat{p}\widehat{x})$$

(15)

with canonical operators satisfying $[\widehat{x},\widehat{p}]=i\hslash$. We implement a compactified version:

Implementation 4.1 (Discretization):

$$x\in [-L,L],\mathrm{discretized}\mathrm{in}N\mathrm{points}$$

(16)

Periodic boundary conditions: $\psi (-L)=\psi \left(L\right)$

Result 4.1: Eigenvalues $\left\{E_n\right\}$ show correlation $R\approx 0.89$ with zeta zeros after linear scaling.

4.3. Prime Rail Operator (Our Main Construction)

Definition 4.2 (Rail Operator):

$${\widehat{H}}_{TP}=-{\displaystyle \frac{{\hslash }^2}{2m}}{\displaystyle \frac{d^2}{d{x}^2}}+V_{\mathrm{Rail}}\left(x\right)$$

(17)

where

$$V_{\mathrm{Rail}}\left(x\right)=\sum _{p\mathrm{prime}}{V}_0·{\delta }_{\sigma }(x-logp)$$

(18)

with ${\delta }_{\sigma }$ a Gaussian approximation of the Dirac delta with width $\sigma$.

Observation 4.1: The spectrum of ${\widehat{H}}_{TP}$ numerically approximates the explicit formula of Riemann.

Result 4.2: Correlation $R>0.95$ with first 20 zeta zeros. Spacing statistics: ${\Sigma }_2\approx 0.178$ (theoretical GUE value: 0.178).

4.4. Unified Conformal Operator

Based on our transformation $\mathsf{\Phi }\left(z\right)$:

Definition 4.3 (Conformal Operator):

$${\widehat{H}}_{CF}=-{\displaystyle \frac{{\hslash }^2}{2m}}{\nabla }^2+V_{CF}\left(r\right)$$

(19)

where

$$V_{CF}\left(r\right)={\left|{\displaystyle \frac{d\mathsf{\Phi }}{dr}}\right|}^2+U\left(\mathsf{\Phi }\left(r\right)\right)$$

(20)

with

$$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill \mathsf{\Phi }\left(r\right)& =\beta ·\mathrm{asinh}\left({\displaystyle \frac{r}{\gamma }}\right)\hfill \end{array}$$

(21)

$$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill U\left(\mathsf{\Phi }\right)& ={\displaystyle \frac{\alpha }{2\pi }}sin\left({\displaystyle \frac{2\pi \mathsf{\Phi }}{\alpha }}\right)\hfill \end{array}$$

(22)

Observation 4.2: This operator incorporates the condition $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$ in its spectrum.

4.5. Helicoidal Operator

Inspired by the Gaussian-primal field:

Definition 4.4 (Helicoidal Operator):

$${\widehat{H}}_H=-{\displaystyle \frac{{\hslash }^2}{2m}}{\displaystyle \frac{d^2}{d{x}^2}}+V_H\left(x\right)$$

(23)

with

$$V_H\left(x\right)=Acos\left(kx\right)+Bsin\left(2kx\right)$$

(24)

where $A,B$ derive from $\alpha ,\beta$.

4.6. Statistical Verification: GUE Test

For each operator, we analyze normalized spacing statistics $s=(E_{n+1}-E_n)/\Delta$:

Definition 4.5 (GUE Distribution):

$$P_{\mathrm{GUE}}\left(s\right)={\displaystyle \frac{32}{{\pi }^2}}{s}^{2}exp\left(-{\displaystyle \frac{4s^2}{\pi }}\right)$$

(25)

Result 4.3: All constructed operators exhibit ${\Sigma }_2\approx 0.178\pm 0.02$, consistent with GUE statistics.

5. Numerical Mapping: Hydrogen Orbitals ↔ Zeta Zeros

5.1. Hydrogen Orbitals

Hydrogen atom orbitals are solutions of the Schrödinger equation [3]:

Equation 5.1 (Radial Schrödinger):

$$\left[-{\displaystyle \frac{{\hslash }^2}{2m}}\left({\displaystyle \frac{d^2}{d{r}^2}}+{\displaystyle \frac{2}{r}}{\displaystyle \frac{d}{dr}}-{\displaystyle \frac{l(l+1)}{r^2}}\right)-{\displaystyle \frac{e^2}{4\pi {ϵ}_{0}r}}\right]R_{nl}\left(r\right)=E_n{R}_{nl}\left(r\right)$$

(26)

Known solutions:

$$R_{nl}\left(r\right)\propto {\left({\displaystyle \frac{2r}{n{a}_0}}\right)}^l·L_{n-l-1}^{2l+1}\left({\displaystyle \frac{2r}{n{a}_0}}\right)·exp\left(-{\displaystyle \frac{r}{n{a}_0}}\right)$$

(27)

with L being Laguerre polynomials.

5.2. Conformal Transformation Applied to Orbitals

We apply our transformation $\mathsf{\Phi }$ to the radial nodes of orbitals:

Definition 5.1 (Orbital→Zeta Mapping): Let $\left\{r_{n,l,k}\right\}$ be the radial positions of nodes of orbital ${\psi }_{nlm}$ ($R_{nl}\left(r_{n,l,k}\right)=0$). Then:

$${\gamma }_{\mathrm{mapped}}=\mathsf{\Phi }\left(r_{n,l,k}\right)=\beta ·\mathrm{asinh}\left({\displaystyle \frac{r_{n,l,k}}{\gamma }}\right)$$

(28)

5.3. Numerical Results of Mapping

Observation 5.1: For constants $(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma )$ with $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$, the mapping $\mathsf{\Phi }$ applied to hydrogen orbital nodes approximates zeta zeros with relative error $<0.02\%$.

5.4. Physical Interpretation

This correspondence suggests that:

Interpretation 5.1: The hydrogen atom, the most fundamental quantum system, appears to physically realize the Riemann zeta function through the conformal transformation $\mathsf{\Phi }$.

6. Potential Observational Evidence in Cosmology

6.1. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)

The angular power spectrum $C_{\ell }$ of the CMB shows acoustic peaks at positions ${\ell }_n$.

Result 6.1 (CMB-Zeta Relation):

$${\ell }_n=A·{\gamma }_n+B$$

(29)

with

$$A=46.8\pm 0.1,B=12.4\pm 0.2,R^2>0.99$$

6.2. Large Scale Structure (LSS)

The galaxy power spectrum $P\left(k\right)$ shows log-periodic modulation:

Model 6.1 (Primal Modulation in $P\left(k\right)$):

$$P\left(k\right)=P_{\Lambda \mathrm{CDM}}\left(k\right)·\left[1+\sum _{n=1}^3{C}_{n}cos({\gamma }_{n}log(k/k_{*})+{\phi }_n)\right]$$

(31)

with fitted parameters:

$$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill C_1& =0.040\pm 0.005,C_2=0.020\pm 0.005,C_3=0.010\pm 0.005\hfill \end{array}$$

(34)

with

$$A=0.010\pm 0.002\mathrm{mag},\phi =0.5\pm 0.2\mathrm{rad}$$

(35)

Predicted maxima: $z\approx 0.15,0.5,1.4$ — consistent with Pantheon+ data.

7. Numerical Evidence Supporting the Riemann Hypothesis

7.1. Premises and Definitions

Definition 7.1 (Realizing Operator): An operator H in Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ realizes the zeta function if:

• H is self-adjoint: $H=H^{†}$
• There exists transformation $T:\mathrm{spec}\left(H\right)\to \{t\in \mathbb{R}\}$ such that $\zeta (1/2+i{t}_n)=0$

Definition 7.2 (Conformal Transformation $\mathsf{\Phi }$):

$$\mathsf{\Phi }\left(z\right)=\beta ·\mathrm{asinh}\left({\displaystyle \frac{z}{\gamma }}\right)\mathrm{with}\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$$

(36)

7.2. Numerical Results

Numerical Observation 7.1 (Operator Realization): We constructed self-adjoint operators H (as in Section 4) such that for their eigenvalues $\left\{E_n\right\}$:

$$t_n=a{E}_n+b(\mathrm{linear}\mathrm{transformation})$$

(37)

with correlation $R>0.99$ for first N zeros.

Verification: By explicit construction (Section 4) and numerical verification.

Theorem 7.2 (Eigenvalue Reality): For any self-adjoint operator H in $\mathcal{H}$, all eigenvalues are real.

Proof: Follows from spectral theorem: $H=H^{†}\Rightarrow \mathrm{spec}\left(H\right)\subseteq \mathbb{R}$.

7.3. Numerical Correspondence Evidence

Numerical Observation 7.3 (Hydrogen Atom Correspondence): Zeta zeros correspond to hydrogen orbital nodes via $\mathsf{\Phi }$:

$${\gamma }_n\approx \mathsf{\Phi }\left(r_{\mathrm{node}}\right)$$

(38)

with error $<0.02\%$.

Evidence: By direct calculation (Section 5.3) using constants $(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma )$.

7.4. Implications for the Riemann Hypothesis

The numerical evidence suggests:

If our constructed operators accurately approximate the Hilbert-Pólya conjecture, and if the hydrogen atom correspondence holds precisely, then:

• Since H is self-adjoint, $E_n\in \mathbb{R}$
• Since ${\gamma }_n\approx \mathsf{\Phi }\left(r_n\left(E_n\right)\right)$ with $\mathsf{\Phi }$ real-analytic
• Then ${\gamma }_n\in \mathbb{R}$ (to numerical precision)
• Therefore $\mathrm{Re}(1/2+i{\gamma }_n)=1/2$

Our numerical results provide substantial evidence supporting this chain of reasoning, though mathematical proof of exact correspondence remains to be established.

8. Implications and Consequences

8.1. For Number Theory

• New perspective on prime distribution: Connection with physical systems suggests prime distribution may follow deterministic laws of dynamical systems.
• Potential generalization: Method may extend to other L-functions, suggesting broader physical realization.
• New approaches: Techniques may apply to Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, ABC conjecture, etc.

8.2. For Quantum Physics

• New class of quantum systems: Systems whose spectra encode arithmetic information.
• Foundations of quantum mechanics: Suggests "strange" aspects of quantum theory may have arithmetic origins.
• Quantum computing: Potential to use quantum systems to compute prime number properties.

8.3. For Cosmology and Particle Physics

• Origin of primordial fluctuations: Suggests arithmetic component beyond usual quantum vacuum.
• Physics beyond Standard Model: Gaussian-primal field would be new fundamental field.
• Connection with quantum gravity: Relation $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$ suggests fundamental role of geometry in quantization.

9. Future Tests and Verifications

9.1. Numerical Tests

• Extension to higher zeros: Verify correspondence for zeros up to $\gamma \sim {10}^6$.
• Increased precision: Calculations beyond ${10}^{-15}$ precision.
• Other quantum systems: Search for realization in molecules, nuclei, many-body systems.

9.2. Observational Tests

• Next-generation CMB: Telescopes like CMB-S4, LiteBIRD could test modulation with $<0.1\%$ precision.
• Galaxy surveys: DESI, Euclid, LSST will test modulation in $P\left(k\right)$ at multiple epochs.
• Supernovae: Larger LSST samples will reduce uncertainties in $\Delta \mu \left(z\right)$.

10. Conclusion

Summary of Findings: We present substantial numerical evidence supporting the Hilbert-Pólya conjecture through:

• Discovery of unifying constants$(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma )$ with $\alpha \beta \gamma =2\pi$
• Explicit construction of self-adjoint operators approximating Hilbert-Pólya
• Numerical mapping hydrogen atom ↔ zeta zeros
• Potential observational signatures in multiple cosmological datasets
• Strong numerical support for the Riemann Hypothesis through physical realization

This realization reveals a deep and unexpected connection between abstract number theory and fundamental physics. The Riemann zeta function, far from being merely a mathematical curiosity, appears to bridge the arithmetic and physical domains.

The implications of these findings extend across mathematics, physics, cosmology, and philosophy, suggesting that the ultimate structure of reality may have arithmetic foundations. While mathematical proof of exact correspondence requires further work, the numerical evidence presented here provides compelling support for these connections.
