Using Hilbert Space Theory and Quantum Mechanics to Examine the Zeros of The Riemann-Zeta Function

Gulas, Michael Allen

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Mathematics.
In this thesis, I examine Hilbert Space Theory and the basic postulates of quantum mechanics and use these two different areas to look for zeros of the Riemann Zeta function. In particular, after stating some preliminaries of Hilbert Space Theory, I will examine how these ideas appear in quantum theory. As an illustrative example, I place a particle in the famous infinite square well to see these ideas in action. Finally, having discussed and explored quantum mechanics I will expound on the Riemann Zeta Function and the Riemann Hypothesis. I will then discuss various conjectures, that are a potential way to solve the famous Riemann Hypothesis via an unknown Hermitian operator on an unknown space. As Hamiltonian operators are Hermitian operators, we have a bridge into physics to take advantage of in solving this problem.
