Spectral Analysis of the $D_{\log}^{(λ, N)}$ Operators

TL;DR
This work analyzes the spectral behavior of the Connes-Consani-Moscovici family $D_{\log}^{(\lambda, N)}$, aiming to align its spectrum with the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2}+is)$. It introduces the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_{\lambda}$, the compressed scaling generator $D_{\log}^{(\lambda,N)}$, and two error metrics $\epsilon(\lambda,N)$ and $\mathcal{E}(\lambda,N)$ to quantify spectral proximity. A central result proves an inverse-logarithmic lower bound $\epsilon(\lambda,N) \ge \tfrac{1}{4\ln\lambda}$, leading to $\epsilon(N)=\Omega(1/\ln N)$ under a natural $N\ln\lambda$ scaling; numerical results further suggest a similar inverse-log behavior for $\mathcal{E}(\lambda,N)$. The authors conjecture the existence of a limit for $\mathcal{E}(\kappa)\ln\kappa$ (potentially nonzero), and discuss the striking implication that if this limit vanishes, the spectrum would converge to $\zeta$ zeros, effectively connecting spectral data to the Riemann Hypothesis and prime distribution through the analyzed operator framework.
Abstract
This paper investigates the recent Connes-Consani-Moscovici $D_{\log}^{(λ, N)}$ operators, whose spectra are currently hypothesized to approach the zeros of $ζ\left(\frac{1}{2} +is\right)$ as $λ, N \rightarrow \infty$. It turns out that when considering different standard notions of error, the dissonance between the spectra and Riemann $ζ$ zeros either appears to or can be proven to be inverse logarithmic in nature, which elegantly fits the distribution of prime numbers.
