Abstract

The prime numbers and the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are globally linked by the explicit formula of analytic number theory. Whether they share a hidden, scale-by-scale geometric symmetry has remained unexplored. We address this by measuring the joint fractal structure of a prime residue class (p=1,5,9,13 mod 16) and the zero distribution of zeta(s). Our central finding is that the duality measure K = 1/d_P + 1/zeta_R is remarkably stable, varying by only 17% across scales L=100--2000, captured by a finite-size scaling law K(L) = K_IR + a*L^{-b}. After geometric normalization, the data converge to a universal infrared fixed point K_IR = 4 with critical exponent b ~ 0.51, robust across two random-matrix symmetry classes (beta=2,4), echoing Montgomery--Odlyzko universality. We interpret K as a conserved information current between the arithmetic and spectral domains, with the scaling law reflecting a renormalization-group flow from an ultraviolet fixed point K_UV = 11 (Hurwitz's theorem on normed division algebras) to K_IR = 4. The exponent b ~ 1/2 is derived from a variational information action S[I_P, I_Z]. A structural argument for the Riemann Hypothesis emerges: the generator kappa with kappa^2 = ijk = -1 enforces, via exchange symmetry I_P <-> I_Z, the fixed point I_P* = I_Z* = 2, encoding the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. Upgrading this to a rigorous proof is the central open problem. We also explore, in a speculative spirit, whether (K_IR, b, kappa) resonate with quantities in quantum gravity and learning theory, including the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy formula. These analogies define open problems at the interface of number theory, physics, and information science.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
