It's on a connection between operator algebras [1] and number theory [2], my 
main paper is available here [3].

Actually I lost interest in that stuff one year ago, after I realized that 
that "connection" was if fact very tenuous, so I'm now concentrating on 
operator algebras (C*-algebras[4]). I'll try to make sure my lack of interest 
doesn't show too much during my defense :)
