Abstract: For an operator of a certain class in Hilbert space, we introduce axioms of an abstract intersection theory, which we prove to be equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis concerning the spectrum of that operator. In particular if the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function arise from an operator of this class, the original Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the existence of an abstract intersection theory.

Review text

Let \(A\) be a linear operator acting on a Hilbert space \(H\) such that its spectrum \(\sigma(A)\) consists only of the point spectrum \(\sigma_p(A)\) (i.e., its eigenvalues). The operator \(A\) is said to satisfy the Riemann Hypothesis if \(\operatorname{Re}(s)=\frac{1}{2}\) for all \(s \in\sigma(A)=\sigma_p(A)\). In the 1940s, \textit{A. Weil} developed an intersection theory on surfaces over finite fields to apply it to the proof of the Riemann hypothesis for curves over finite fields (one-variable function fields over finite fields). The aim of the present paper is to introduce the axioms of an abstract intersection theory for operators in Hilbert spaces of a certain class, which are analogous to Weil's theory [Œuvres scientifiques. Collected papers. Vol. I (1926-1951). New York-Heidelberg-Berlin: Springer-Verlag (1979; Zbl 0424.01027)].NEWLINENEWLINEThe paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the authors impose some conditions on the Hilbert space operators to be considered. Then they introduce a functional calculus which serves for cutting off the spectra. Their abstract intersection theory is introduced in Section 3. It consists of conditions on some specific vectors, including what they call a Hodge vector, and a Lefschetz type formula. In Section 3.2, the authors give a model of their abstract intersection theory, using a construction similar to the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal representation [\textit{I. E. Segal}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 53, 73--88 (1947; Zbl 0031.36001)]. Using this model, they show that the Riemann Hypothesis for \(A\) is equivalent to the existence of an abstract intersection theory in their sense.
