Abstract: The number N(E) of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta function with positive imaginary part less than E is the sum of a `smooth' function and a `fluctuation'. Berry and Keating have shown that the asymptotic expansion of counts states of positive energy less than E in a `regularized' semi-classical model with classical Hamiltonian H=xp. For a different regularization, Connes has shown that it counts states `missing' from a continuum. Here we show how the `absorption spectrum' model of Connes emerges as the lowest Landau level limit of a specific quantum mechanical model for a charged particle on a planar surface in an electric potential and uniform magnetic field. We suggest a role for the higher Landau levels in the fluctuation part of N(E).
