3971 — The Theta Endpoint Dilation Complex Derives Both the Pole Packet and Completion Polynomial

The modular theta split canonically selects the endpoint module

$$V_\partial = \operatorname{span}\{1,t^{-1/2}\}.$$

The Mellin-covariant dilation operator

$$D_s=2t\frac{d}{dt}+s$$

acts diagonally with eigenvalues $s$ and $s-1$. Consequently

$$\det D_s=s(s-1).$$

With the source incidence grading $J_\partial=\operatorname{diag}(-1,1)$,

$$\operatorname{Tr}(J_\partial D_s^{-1}) = -\frac1s+\frac1{s-1} = \frac1{s(s-1)}.$$

One source-derived endpoint operator therefore produces both the completion polynomial and the rational pole packet. Its two-term complex is exact away from $s=0,1$, giving a genuine operator-theoretic puncture interpretation for the trivial endpoints—but not yet for nontrivial zeros.

Scope

This derives the finite boundary complex. It does not construct a determinant operator for the completed theta bulk or prove RH.
