Speculative zeta-function connection for quantized vortex dynamics

Let (S,g)(S,g) be a compact Riemann surface, let GG be the Green function and RR its associated Robin function, and let sos_o denote a vortex position. Consider the vortex monopole system

s˙=sgradG(s,so),s˙o=sgradR(so),\dot{s} = {\rm sgrad}\,G(s,s_o),\qquad \dot{s}_o = {\rm sgrad}\,R(s_o),

or a vortex pair with Hamiltonian

H=κ2logd(s1,s2)2π+κ2B(s1,s2).H=-\kappa^2\frac{\log d(s_1,s_2)}{2\pi}+\kappa^2B(s_1,s_2).

Speculative zeta-function connection. A connection may exist between the zeros of Riemann's zeta function and the quantization of a 3/23/2 degrees-of-freedom vortex monopole problem on a compact Riemann surface with metric gg, either in the monopole system above or in the vortex-pair system. This proposal is explicitly speculative and is not presented as an established mathematical conjecture; the supplied text gives no evidence that such a connection has been proved or disproved.
