%0 Journal Article %T Une suite de matrices sym¨¦triques en rapport avec la fonction de Mertens %A Jean-Paul Cardinal %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X In this paper we explore a class of equivalence relations over $\N^\ast$ from which is constructed a sequence of symetric matrices related to the Mertens function. From numerical experimentations we suggest a conjecture, about the growth of the quadratic norm of these matrices, which implies the Riemann hypothesis. This suggests that matrix analysis methods may play a more important part in this classical and difficult problem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0807.4145v3
