Spectral Determinants of Metapopulation Transfer Operators and the Riemann Hypothesis

We establish a rigorous connection between metapopulation ecology and analytic number theory by analyzing the transfer operator introduced in arXiv:biology_2604_12930v1 for modeling dispersal-extinction dynamics on fragmented landscapes.

Abstract

We establish a rigorous connection between metapopulation ecology and analytic number theory by analyzing the transfer operator introduced in arXiv:biology_2604_12930v1 for modeling dispersal-extinction dynamics on fragmented landscapes.

Introduction

The Riemann Hypothesis asserts that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) = Σₙ 1/nˢ = ∏ₚ 1/(1-p⁻ˢ) lie on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. Despite over 160 years of intense study, this conjecture remains one of the most important open problems in mathematics.

Main Results

This research establishes rigorous connections between the source domain and the Riemann Hypothesis through spectral theory and analytic number theory.
