Does Riemann Zeta Code for Generic Coupling Constant Evolution?

Matti Pitkänen

Abstract


A general model for the coupling constant evolution is proposed. The analogy of Riemann zeta and fermionic zeta ζF(s)/ ζF(2s) with complex square root of a partition function natural in Zero Energy Ontology suggests that the poles of ζF(ks), k=1/2, correspond to complexified critical temperatures identifiable as inverse of Kahler coupling strength itself having interpretation as inverse of critical temperature. One can actually replace the argument s of ζF with Mobius transformed argument w=(as+b)/(cs+d) with a,b,c,d real numbers, rationals, or even integers. For αK w=(s+b)/2 is proper choices and gives zeros of ζ(s) and s=2-b as poles. The identification αK= αKU(1) leads to a prediction for αem, which deviates by 0.7 per cent from the experimental value at low energies (atomic scale) if the experimental value of the Weinberg angle is used. The conjecture generalizes also to weak, color and gravitational interactions when general Mobius transformation leaving upper half-plane invariant is allowed. One ends up with a general model predicting successfully the entire electroweak coupling constant evolution successfully from the values of fine structure constant at atomic or electron scale and in weak scale.
