Abstract

Abstract. We prove the Riemann Hypothesis using the arithmetic structure of the modular surface Γ\H. The argument proceeds by contradiction: assuming a zero off the critical line creates two scattering poles with distinct Hecke eigenvalues for the same arithmetic mode. Since a single resonance cannot have two different Hecke masses, the poles must coincide, forcing all zeros to lie on Re(s) = 1/2.
