%0 Journal Article %T A spectral interpretation for the zeros of the Riemann zeta function %A Ralf Meyer %J Mathematics %D 2004 %I arXiv %X Based on work of Alain Connes, I have constructed a spectral interpretation for zeros of L-functions. Here we specialise this construction to the Riemann zeta function. We construct an operator on a nuclear Frechet space whose spectrum is the set of non-trivial zeros of zeta. We exhibit the explicit formula for the zeros of the Riemann zeta function as a character formula. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0412277v3
