Morse Topology, Zero Products, and Elliptic Prime Crossings

arXiv:2609.27962

Abstract

We study how the noncentral zeros of an elliptic-curve -function enter the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) leading coefficient and the prime-scale crossings of an elliptic Chebyshev race. Under the elliptic-curve Riemann hypothesis (ECRH), the completed -function yields an exact Hadamard decomposition, and the zero statistics and satisfy the positive identity . For seventeen rank-one isogeny classes of conductor , the first zero contributes on average of , while independent edge values reveal a discrete zero-count split beyond height . For Haar we prove a fixed-dimensional hard-edge law . A finite zero truncation also defines a Morse function on a phase torus, whose level sets and coarea density provide a topological model for crossing statistics. Motivated by false Chebyshev primes, we define elliptic crossing primes through the midpoint and half-jump of a logarithmically weighted Frobenius race. A four-stage conductor- computation shows agreement at the level of ensemble profiles, while omitted-zero noise prevents resolution of individual shrinking-window events at height . The experiment therefore identifies a quantitative resolution barrier rather than a failure of the prime-sampled transfer.
