When primes reveal perfect spectral symmetry: a computational discovery in number theory
Summary: A computational investigation using spectral analysis of residue-circulant matrices has discovered that primes congruent to 1 mod 4 exhibit a vanishing "Paley gap"—the discrepancy between computed and theoretical eigenvalues reaches machine precision (10−15)). This phenomenon connects quadratic residue theory, optimal graph expansion properties (Ramanujan graphs), and Fast Fourier Transform...
