Detectability and the Riemann Hypothesis: A Structural Resolution via Complete Detectable Spacetime Geometry

The Takeaway
The Riemann Hypothesis is a 165-year-old riddle about the distribution of prime numbers. This research recasts the hypothesis as a requirement for the structural completeness of our physical spacetime. It argues that if the hypothesis were false, the geometry of our universe would be fundamentally undetectable and broken. By linking prime numbers to the dimensions of space and time, the authors provide a physical reason for why the math must work out. This connects the abstract world of number theory to the concrete world of physical reality in a way never seen before. It suggests that the beauty of math and the structure of the universe are the same thing.
From the abstract
A structural framework is developed in which admissible configurations are characterized by intrinsic distinguishability under a class of functional evaluations. This leads to the notion of Complete Detectable Spacetime Geometry (CDSG), defined by the injectivity of the induced response map on the configuration space. Within this framework, an arithmetic–spectral realization associated with the Riemann zeta function is constructed, and a defect functional is introduced to quantify deviations fro
