Twisted Topological Operators: Closure, Openness, and Compression as a Unified Spectral Structure
Jihoon Yang
Twisted Topological Operators: Closure, Openness, and Compression as a Unified Spectral Structure develops a minimal operator-theoretic framework in which circulation, resonance decay, and information compression arise as a single coherent spectral phenomenon. Rather than treating topology, dissipation, and holography as independent mechanisms, this work demonstrates that they emerge from a common structural origin once boundary conditions, openness, and projection are treated at the operator level. The paper proceeds through three tightly connected constructions: Twisted Topological ClosureStarting from self-adjoint operators on compact ring domains with twisted boundary conditions, the work shows that persistent probability currents and time-reversal symmetry breaking are enforced purely by topology, without invoking external forcing or dissipation. Circulation is therefore structural, not dynamical. Controlled Openness and ResonanceIntroducing bounded non-self-adjoint perturbations yields intrinsic decay and complex spectra. Resonances are identified as resolvent poles rather than eigenstates, providing a clean operator interpretation of quasinormal modes and irreversible relaxation. Holography as Operator CompressionApparent information loss is reinterpreted as projection onto inaccessible subspaces. Entropy and decay quantify compression due to restricted boundary access, not physical destruction of information. Throughout, the paper deliberately avoids arithmetic input or number-theoretic assumptions. Its aim is to isolate the minimal operator skeleton capable of simultaneously supporting circulation, dissipation, and compression. This operator framework serves as a structural prelude to subsequent spectral and arithmetic applications. In particular, it prepares the ground for an operator-theoretic reduction of the Riemann spectrum, where time-reversal symmetry breaking, self-adjoint domain selection, and spectral stability become unavoidable consequences of topology and openness. In this view, circulation, decay, and holography are not separate phenomena—but different projections of a single underlying operator structure.
