Weil positivity and trace formula the Archimedean place (Q2047276)

The authors continue their effort to prove the Riemann hypothesis based on the Weil positivity and methods of non-commutative geometry. In this paper, starting from the semi-local trace formula proved in [\textit{A. Connes}, Sel. Math., New Ser. 5, No. 1, 29--106 (1999; Zbl 0945.11015)], the simplest case of a single archimedean place is studied. The paper is well organized and equipped with very helpful appendices recalling the main facts and ideas underlying the current study.
