Abstract: We prove that all the zeros of certain meromorphic functions are on the critical line $extRe(s)=1/2$, and are simple (except possibly when $s=1/2$). We prove this by relating the zeros to the discrete spectrum of an unbounded self-adjoint operator. Specifically, we show for $h(s)$ a meromorphic function with no zeros in $extRe(s)>1/2$ and no poles in $extRe(s)<1/2$, real-valued on $R$, $frach(1-s)h(s)ll|s{|}^{1-epsilon}$ in $extRe(s)>1/2$ and $frach(1-s)h(s)otin{L}^2(1/2+iR)$, the only zeros of $h(s)pmh(1-s)$ are on the critical line. One instance of such a function $h$ is $h(s)=xi(2s)$, the completed zeta-function. We use spectral theory suggested by results of Lax-Phillips and Colin de Verdi`{e}re. This simplifies ideas of W. M"{u}ller, J. Lagarias, M. Suzuki, H. Ki, O. Vel'{a}squez Casta~{n}'{o}n, D. Hejhal, L. de Branges and P.R. Taylor.
