Hochschild homology, trace map and $ζ$-cycles (2207.10419v1)

Abstract: In this paper we consider two spectral realizations of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The first one involves all non-trivial (non-real) zeros and is expressed in terms of a Laplacian intimately related to the prolate wave operator. The second spectral realization affects only the critical zeros and it is cast in terms of sheaf cohomology. The novelty is that the base space is the Scaling Site playing the role of the parameter space for the $\zeta$-cycles and encoding their stability by coverings.
