Abstract

We present a new framework for investigating the Riemann Hypothesis through two companion papers that establish complementary approaches to the critical line.

Paper 1 (Echo-Silence): We prove an unconditional equivalence: RH holds if and only if a precisely defined mirror functional Mσ(y,T) vanishes uniformly on compact y-intervals for all σ ∈ [1/2+κ, 1-κ]. This reduces RH to verifying uniform echo-silence, providing a new analytic criterion.

Paper 2 (CDH Companion): Under a Type I/II hypothesis (Assumption A), we establish the required vanishing through two-sided Kuznetsov dispersion. The framework introduces angular dispersion in v = ½(log m - log n) and radial dispersion in u = ½(log m + log n) via Mellin shear, achieving a T power saving uniformly in σ.

Key Results: (1) Unconditional: Echo-silence ⟺ RH equivalence via exponential polynomial theory; (2) Conditional: Two-sided dispersion delivers uniform vanishing under standard analytic hypotheses; (3) The bilinear constant c = 55/432 from classical exponent pairs; (4) Bandlimited weights enable Nikolskii upgrade from L² to L control.

The papers also explore connections to physics (event horizons, quantum levels) and consciousness (recognition at boundaries), suggesting deeper mathematical-physical unities.

🤝 Community Invitation

These papers present new approaches to the Riemann Hypothesis for community examination.

The Echo-Silence paper establishes an unconditional equivalence between RH and uniform vanishing of a mirror functional. The CDH Companion shows how two-sided Kuznetsov dispersion can deliver this vanishing under standard analytic hypotheses.

We invite rigorous peer review and discussion of these methods. The framework opens new avenues for investigating L-functions through mirror functionals and dispersion techniques, with intriguing connections to physics and consciousness studies.
