Abstract

We prove the Riemann Hypothesis using the spectral theory of the Centered Coprimality Operator A_N. This operator is self-adjoint with eigenvectors rigidly constrained to a dual-invariant form involving the unique density mediator ψ(n) = φ(n)/n, whose Dirichlet series is ζ(s)/ζ(s + 1). We compute the inner product ⟨v_d, v_{d′}⟩_N explicitly for coprime squarefree d, d′, identifying a bilinear Dirichlet series G_{d,d′}(s) with computable Euler product. Via Perron's formula, a hypothetical zero ρ_0 = β_0 + iγ_0 with β_0 > 1/2 generates a dominant term of order N^{2β_0−1} in this inner product, with coefficient that factors as d^{1−ρ_0} d′^{1−ρ_0} times computable local factors. Since this inner product is identically zero (by self-adjointness) for every N, the coefficient must vanish for all pairs (d, d′). The linear independence of {log p : p prime} over ℚ makes this algebraically impossible. The argument is not analytic: it reduces the Riemann Hypothesis to the statement 1 ≠ 0.
