The Supernova Light Curve Problem in a Static Cosmos: A Definitive Solution

Authors: Joseph Shaffer
Comments: 4 Pages. This paper is a companion paper of ai.viXra.org:2609.0025. It provides further arguments in support of the static universe ontology.

This paper presents the formal analysis of the supernova light curve problem within a static cosmological framework. While legacy paradigms rely on expanding spacetime metrics to explain the temporal broadening of distant Type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) emissions, this model demonstrates a purely structural alternative. Propagation across the dual domain architecture induces a non-local interaction within information mats under tension, systematically reducing the local speed of light c over distance. Because this mechanism is non-local, the photon transfers no thermal energy to the substratum (dQ = 0), cleanly bypassing historical "tired light" objections. The universe is static — light curve broadening and cosmological redshift are derived as direct consequences of a distance dependent reduction in c.

Arithmetic Unitarity I: Where the Riemann Hypothesis Lives in the Scaling Flow

Authors: J. W. McGreevy
Comments: 117 Pages. v2: corrects one table entry and a method sentence in Ch. 11 (Table 11.2, 2.72 -> 2.46); updates the Lemma 1 citation to ai.viXra:2610.0046. A "Corrections in version 2" note is on p. i.

By Weil's criterion the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is equivalent to positivity of the Hermitian form Q of the explicit formula. We show that this is the same as unitarity (absence of negative-norm "ghost" directions) of the logarithmic scaling flow on test functions; the negative index of Q equals the number of zeros off the critical line. This volume does not prove RH. It reformulates and localizes this single obstruction: along the de Bruijn-Newman heat flow; in function-field and Iwasawa models, where positivity is a theorem; as an action principle whose stationary points are closed orbits; in a semilocal structural trace on finite sets of places; as Lax-Phillips / Pavlov-Faddeev cusp scattering, where we prove ||Z_t|| = 1 for all t unconditionally; through a zero-free intertwiner identifying cusp height with the prime cutoff; by damping to abscissa sigma > 1/2; and by computer-assisted positivity (Arb ball arithmetic) of the Weil form on all windows of length <= log 3. A ghost-index calculus gives explicit detection lengths for off-line zeros and shows that current window certificates exclude none. A statement of intellectual honesty and a statement-by-statement rigor audit separate what is proved, cited, computer-assisted, numerical or heuristic. The remaining obstruction is window positivity for every window length, equivalently a positive structural trace realizing the Weil distribution without reference to the zeros.

The Central Velocity Gradient—surface Brightness Relation and the Baryonic Tully—Fisher Relation in Two-Parameter Constant-Lagrangian Fits to Sparc

Authors: E. P. J. de Haas
Comments: 11 Pages. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23340921

Lelli, Fraternali & Verheijen (2013) showed that the central circular-velocity gradient of disc galaxies, d_R V(0), scales with the central surface brightness as d_R V(0) ∝ Iu2080^0.55. This is close to the Iu2080^1/2 expected when the central dynamical density tracks the central stellar density. We examine how this relation, together with the baryonic Tully—Fisher relation (BTFR), appears in the two parameters (M, R) of the constant-Lagrangian (CL) rotation-curve model fitted to 175 SPARC galaxies.The inner branch of the CL curve is that of a homogeneous sphere to within the small Hubble term. The model gradient is therefore s_CL² ≃ GM/R³ (exact for H_z = 0) and the plateau speed is v_L² ≃ 3GM/R. The two relations are thus relations between photometry and the two combinations M/R³ and M/R.For 131 well-constrained galaxies, s_CL correlates with the 3.6 μm surface brightness at the innermost radius with Spearman ρ = 0.76 and a bisector slope of 0.45 (0.41—0.50). This lies inside the range 0.38—0.63 allowed by Lelli et al. (2013), while the ordinary and inverse regression slopes (0.35 and 0.56) bracket their value. Using the extrapolated exponential-disc central brightness instead lowers ρ to 0.58, as their analysis anticipates for galaxies with a central light excess.s_CL agrees in the median with the inner secant slope measured directly from the data (median ratio 1.01). v_L tracks the observed flat rotation speed V_flat to 0.03 dex, giving a BTFR scatter of 0.249 dex, against 0.226 dex with V_flat.A control analysis with the arctan rotation curve of Courteau (1997) yields the same correlations and slightly better fits. However, its central gradient is 38% above the measured secant slope, and its BTFR scatter is 0.297 dex.For the selected sample, combining the two relations predicts each rotation curve from baryonic quantities to within a typical factor of 1.25 (0.097 dex), equally well for both models. Refitting the CL model in velocity rather than squared-velocity space leaves the principal results essentially unchanged.The CL parameters thus encode both SPARC scaling relations with a direct physical reading, while the relations themselves are not unique to the CL form.This record contains the paper (LaTeX source and PDF), the Python scripts that reproduce every number, table and figure, the per-galaxy fit results, and the original SPARC tables (Lelli, McGaugh & Schombert 2016, AJ 152, 157).
