    This paper has two main results, which relate to a criteria for the Riemann hypothesis via the family of functions Θω(z)=ξ(1/2ωiz)/ξ(1/2+ωiz)\Theta_\omega(z)=\xi(1/2-\omega-iz)/\xi(1/2+\omega-iz), where ω>0\omega>0 is a real parameter and ξ(s)\xi(s) is the Riemann xi-function. The first main result is necessary and sufficient conditions for Θω\Theta_\omega to be a meromorphic inner function in the upper half-plane. It is related to the Riemann hypothesis directly whether Θω\Theta_\omega is a meromorphic inner function. In comparison with this, a relation of the Riemann hypothesis and the second main result is indirect. It relates to the theory of de Branges, which associates a meromorphic inner function and a canonical system of linear differential equations (in the sense of de Branges). As the second main result, the canonical system associated with Θω\Theta_\omega is constructed explicitly and unconditionally under the restriction of the parameter ω>1\omega >1 by applying a method of J.-F. Burnol in his recent work on the gamma function to the Riemann xi-function. If such construction is extended to all ω>0\omega > 0 unconditionally, we get a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis in terms of a family of canonical systems parametrized by ω>0\omega>0, which explains the validity of the Riemann hypothesis as positive semidefiniteness of the corresponding family of Hamiltonian matrices.Comment: 28 pages, draft of a paper which will be published in a volume of RIMS Kokyuroku Bessatsu Serie
