It is shown that the deterministic infinite trigonometric products n∈N 1 − p + p cos n −s t =: Cl p;s (t) with parameters p ∈ (0, 1] & s > 1 2 , and variable t ∈ R, are inverse Fourier transforms of the probability distributions for certain random series Ω ζ p (s) taking values in the real ω line; i.e. the Cl p;s (t) are characteristic functions of the Ω ζ p (s). The special case p = 1 = s yields the familiar random harmonic series, while in general Ω ζ p (s) is a "random Riemann-ζ function," a notion which will be explained and illustrated -and connected to the Riemann hypothesis. It will be shown that Ω ζ p (s) is a very regular random variable, having a probability density function (PDF) on the ω line which is a Schwartz function. More precisely, an elementary proof is given that there exists some K p;s > 0, and a function F p;s (|t|) bounded by |F p;s (|t|)| ≤ exp K p;s |t| 1/(s+1) ), and C p;the regularity of Ω ζ p (s) follows. Incidentally, this theorem confirms a surmise by Benoit Cloitre, that ln Cl 1/3;2 (t) ∼ −C √ t (t → ∞) for some C > 0. Graphical evidence suggests that Cl 1/3;2 (t) is an empirically unpredictable (chaotic) function of t. This is reflected in the rich structure of the pertinent PDF (the Fourier transform of Cl 1/3;2 ), and illustrated by random sampling of the Riemann-ζ walks, whose branching rules allow the build-up of fractal-like structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
