3732 — The Archimedean Dilation Area Is a Nonvanishing Reciprocal Unit in the Critical Strip

For the Fourier-fixed Gaussian, the infinitesimal dilation two-cycle has area

$$A_\infty(s) = s\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2) = 2\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(1+s/2).$$

It is holomorphic and nonzero throughout $0<\operatorname{Re}s<1$. Its reciprocal mate $A_\infty(1-s)$ is also nonzero there, and their ratio has unit modulus on $\operatorname{Re}s=1/2$.

Together with the exact unit finite-place minors, this proves that every local boundary determinant is invertible in the critical strip. Local Tate geometry explains why the critical seam is unitary, but no nontrivial Riemann zero can be a loss of rank of one local scalarizer.

The RH-bearing object must therefore be the global aggregation map from local unit lines to the distinguished completed theta section. Cross-place correlation, not local scalarization, is the remaining source of possible zeros.
