3967 — The Common Theta Carrier Has No Ordinary Arithmetic Fourier Factor

The theta labels are exact translates of one archimedean profile:

$$\Phi=\phi_1*\nu_{1/2}, \qquad \nu_{1/2}=\sum_{n\geq1}n^{-1/2}\delta_{-\log n}.$$

After the critical half-density gauge this becomes an unweighted translation orbit:

$$e^{-u/2}\Phi = (e^{-u/2}\phi_1)* \sum_{n\geq1}\delta_{-\log n}.$$

This is the sought common-carrier regrouping, but it cannot be diagonalized by ordinary Fourier transform. The half-density comb has mass asymptotic to $2e^{Q/2}$ on $[-Q,0]$, while the unweighted comb has mass $e^Q+O(1)$. Neither is tempered.

The theta convolution remains defined because the primitive carrier decays super-exponentially. The invalid step is only the attempted factorization into an ordinary carrier spectrum and an arithmetic Fourier spectrum. The arithmetic factor first exists as a bilateral Laplace transform in a convergence chamber; continuation to the critical boundary is a separate Tate--Poisson operation with boundary data.

Scope

This proves the exact convolution identity and the non-tempered obstruction. It does not construct the required continuation category, orient its boundary section, or prove RH.
