Title: Have I Proved the Riemann Hypothesis?
Post by: talanum1 on 13/11/2020 16:37:38

I proved the Riemann Hypothesis, but I don't know if I should post it here.

No.
No point; we won't believe it.

Isn't Mathematics not arguable over and not open to belief?

If we move this to "New Theories", it should be fine for discussion.

As I understand it, the Riemann hypothesis has been proved for every example that has been tried on a computer.
- So most mathematicians think it probably is true
- And a lot of ongoing and published research work in mathematics has been based on the assumption that the Riemann hypothesis is true

But computers can only test a finite number of cases
- The challenge is to prove it for an infinite number of cases.

If you really have solved it, tell the people at the Clay institute.
