Nyman-Beurling Target Quotient Criterion

Abstract

The Nyman-Beurling membership criterion is equivalent to quotient, residual-projection, and finite-stage distance criteria in an abstract Hilbert space.

Theorem 1.1 (Five equivalent Nyman-Beurling target criteria).

Commentary.

The analytic Nyman-Beurling theorem is an explicit hypothesis connecting the abstract proposition RH to membership in the closed cumulative space; the formalization does not define RH by that membership.

The remaining equivalences are proved from Hilbert-space geometry: the quotient class vanishes exactly on the subspace, projection onto its orthogonal complement vanishes exactly on the closed subspace, and distances to a monotone tower tend to zero exactly on its closed union.

Constant coordinate-line towers in the real Euclidean plane witness both the simultaneously true and the simultaneously false cases.
