Spectral Geometry, Generality, and Prime Information in the Riemann Zero Spectrum/First public research preprint

Main results The repository reports evidence for three connected observations. 1. Spectral geometry At frequencies τ=log⁡p,\tau=\log p,τ=logp, the complex amplitudes form an extremely narrow one-dimensional geometric structure whose transverse width decreases approximately as N−1,N^{-1},N−1, where NNN is the number of zeros included.

Abstract

This repository contains the complete computational pipeline, source code, and manuscript for an exploratory study of phase-coherent structures in exponential sums over the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The work is independent of the companion study "The Precision Gap" (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21538616) and investigates a different question: Can the exponential sum A(τ)=∑ne−iγnτA(\tau)=\sum_n e^{-i\gamma_n\tau}A(τ)=n∑e−iγnτ contain computationally extractable information about prime numbers when evaluated directly from finite sets of zeta zeros? Rather than proposing a new theory, the paper documents a series of computational observations subjected to extensive negative controls and robustness tests. Main results The repository reports evidence for three connected observations. 1.
