1391 — Xi Has a Canonical Indefinite Pick Boundary Preshape

Epistemic-graph event: 1432.

From the theta-defined

$$M(z)=-\frac{\Xi'(z)}{\Xi(z)}$$

form the Hermitian Pick kernel

$$K_\Xi(z,w)= \frac{M(z)-\overline{M(w)}}{z-\overline w}.$$

The span of formal vectors $k_w$, with Gram form $[k_w,k_z]=K_\Xi(w,z)$, has a canonical radical quotient. This gives an unconditional algebraic indefinite boundary preshape satisfying the exact Green/Weyl identity

$$(z-\overline w)K_\Xi(z,w) =M(z)-\overline{M(w)}.$$

Its form is positive semidefinite exactly when all Pick matrices are positive, hence exactly when RH holds. After positivity, Hilbert completion and Weyl realization yield the compact-resolvent operator and

$$\det\nolimits_2(I-zA^{-1})=\Xi(z)/\Xi(0).$$

Before positivity, this is not the requested Hilbert self-adjoint operator. The remaining provenance gate is a source map from the paired prime–gamma boundary vectors to this completed Pick preshape.

Scope: canonical algebraic indefinite boundary and exact positivity gate; no canonical Krein completion or positive self-adjoint realization is asserted.

Durable verification:

• Research packet: `research/grothendieck/xi-pick-krein-boundary-preshape.md`.
• Hermitian-kernel, radical-quotient, and Green/Weyl identity calculation.
• Epistemic-graph event: 1432.
