Veeky Forums I have finally solved the Riemann hypothesis (it's true)
paper is going up on arxiv soon, it's just getting checked by my advisor as I type this post. I had to invent a new proof method to solve it but I won't tell you what it is because people have been mean to me on the internet lately. If this is a nice thread, I'll explain further.
Will this make FTL travel possible?

Donald Duck could publish on arXiv.
I'm not a physics brainlet so I don't know
thanks
no this is in standard ZFC
good thing I'm not him then?
K...Keep me posted

into the trash it goes
I will, if people are nice!
It still works in ZF
If this is a lie (obviously), then you just wasted time. If not, why risk it posting on Veeky Forums?
Let me guess. You assumed that the Riemann Hypothesis was false and found that this implied that traps aren't a gay. A clear contradiction, and therefore the Riemann Hypothesis is true.
I've known this to be possible for years but I could never quite find the right link between the zeta function and traps.
I want people to be nice to me on the internet
that's not what I did, but sounds promising I guess?
while we're on the topic, can someone please explain to a brainlet the implications of the RH being proven/disproven? Like in terms of how it'll tech science and math?
>I want people to be nice to me on the internet
You're up to something
Nobody knows because nobody knows how it's going to be proven. Somebody could invent a whole new field of math to do it or it could be some gay trick that's applicable to nothing else.
>or it could be some gay trick that's applicable to nothing else.
Even then there are a lot of things we know are implied by the RH, it would be useful.
Well, the only thing that actually matters in the world is number theory so here is a thing. It was proven by my main man, Euler, that [eqn]\zeta(s) = \prod_{p \text{ prime}} \frac{1}{1 - p^{-s}} [/eqn]
And this is a product over all the prime numbers, which means the Riemann Zeta function is closely related to prime numbers. Now, to put things simply, imagine how useful it would be if we had another product representation of the Riemann Zeta function. It would be pretty useful because we could directly link the two products and start probing to see what happens (which has been done, assuming RH is true).
Well, in what ways can you write a function as an infinite product? That's right. By it's roots. For example, [eqn] \frac{\sin x}{x} = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} 1 - \left(\frac{x}{n \pi} \right)^2 [/eqn].
So if we had all the roots of the Riemann zeta function we could write it as another infinite product. And more realistically, if we instead of explicitly having all the roots at least had some information about the distribution and bounds on those roots then that would also be very useful.
And those are the basics of why you can prove so much shit about prime numbers by studying the Riemann zeta function. Infinite products.
Big if true
So, no practical use then.
Have you entertained the possibility that you have made a mistake in the course of your proof? If your advisor were to inform you that you had made a mistake, and you came to understand the reality of the mistake as a material invalidation of what you had attempted to prove, what would you do? Would you keep it to yourself, or would you publish your abortive effort yourself anyway?
Why are people being mean to you on the internet? Is it because they perceive you to be a crank, because you actually are a crank, or something else? Like literally nigger turn away from the screen lol
I must tell you that I don't sincerely believe that you have done what you claim to have done. That said, math is a young man's game, and so it's not inconceivable that some weirdo who thinks to post here of all places in conneciton with such an important matter might have actually done it. Let's hope you don't get scooped, if you're being truthful. Wiles also had a mistake and then finally got it fixed, apparently.
Explain why it matters.
Ps. I'm a brainlet.
I believe in you, OP.
The Riemann Hypothesis is well-known as being one of the great unsolved problems in mathematics. Lots of people have been trying very hard to prove it for about 150 years, since Riemann was an active mathematician. The fame of the problem and the many failed attempts have led to a well-justified skepticism among mathematicians about actual proposed proofs. A Veeky Forums meme over the past year or two involved something about an African mathematician who had (apparently) claimed to prove it, and the pictures related to this were like high-school-tier math and so not credible.
The Riemann Hypothesis involves both number theory and complex analysis, which are considered to be important branches of math today.
Basically, there's a plane of numbers, called "the complex plane". This plane contains the ordinary real number-system as one of its axes. Then you have this complicated math formula (the Riemann zeta function), which can be this-or-that formula, depending on what domain you're talking about. You can take any complex number in the complex plane, and plug it into this function. Sometimes, what you get back is simply 0. The conjecture to be proven, is that every time that what you get back is zero from this complicated process, the complex number lies on a single line in the complex plane.
I'll let others talk about this if they want to, I was too wordy with it just now.
One more thing: Lots of theorems in math have been proven to be true, /contingent on the Riemann Hypothesis/. That means, that "well, if the Riemann Hypothesis is true, then this other thing over here is absolutely true as well." The missing piece is in knowing whether the Riemann Hypothesis is actually true, that is, whether the premise for such results is in fact true. If it is, then lots of other fun theorems are true. If not, then it ruins the whole business.
This is a bit above my pay grade, but I wonder whether RH might be provably undecidable, somehow.
Why is it so hard to prove?
The simple and unsatisfying answer is that no one has figured out how to do it it. We just don't know! If it were easy to prove, then it would very probably have been proven by now, but it hasn't been, despite intense thought and effort.
Mathematicians have tricks about certain areas of math, and often you can combine your tricks in a chain of logical reasoning to prove even more stuff. Often, if you're working in math, you have a general idea from experience about what kind of tricks, put together, might work (I had this again myself in a brainlet problem I was interested in the other day, it's Pascal's triangle and combinations). But it doesn't always pan out that way. IIRC Differential Equations is an area of math where a certain cookbook of tricks are known, but there's also plenty of unknown stuff. Same sort of thing, people just have to keep attacking it.
Probably bait, but if not, if proof is correct, good fucking job.
No practical use? It would prove many theorems in number theory. The RH on its own would allow us to prove many new bounds for arithmetic functions. And the GRH will even give us a lot of algebraic theorems.
But if by application you mean engineering then no. I mean, why would you need RH in engineering when you already have the fundamental theorem of engineering, [math] \pi = 3 = e [/math]
wow mean
You wanna people to be nice to you on the internet but then you are mean to others
You're a dick and deserve no compassion.
> t. buttmad engineer
Did OP bail out on us?
Say it man
OP cant even solve linear equations
>new proof method
proof by shitposting?
Is this fake??
Mathematicians hate him! Click here to learn this one weird trick that lets you solve the Riemann hypothosis
To be quite honest, all of mathematics is learning this one weird trick that lets you solve X.
>proof by shitposting?
This is a revolutionary method. Start with an argument by contradiction and then conclude with a smug anime girl. No one can argue against that.
if you actually solve this faggot donate half of your prize money to Veeky Forums.
This ugly son of a bitch is solving equations that require square root of a negative number, and basically you're fucking retarded
Has math gone too far? Is this number real or fake? Most contemporary mathematicians get it wrong!
Good diss lmao
Lmao, well advertised RH
kek
OP where are you? I wanna see
Inb4 you know who comes in and spams his vixra links and talks about he's god and he's going to kill us all.
Hey, I remember that guy. Sad thing is that he was actually poor so for all we know, he may have starved to death.
OP here. I've changed my mind. Due to the incessant bullying I have experienced at the hands of """humans""" I'm not going to show anyone else the proof I have. My advisor? Dead. Killed him this morning. I used a truth serum to make sure he hadn't told anyone else. Oh, how much this could have advanced STEM! Alas, you undeserving wretches will never know the secret! Ahahahahha! Ahahahahahahhahhahahahahhahahhahauahhaa!!!!!!!!!!!
I have destroyed all evidence it ever existed. The gun is on the table now, it is time for me to exit.....
Thanks OP. Now we still have the chance to be the ones who prove it and get all the recognition.
>implying we didn't think you we're just baiting and being an attention whore the entire time
I'm the real OP and this was my last post
and the rest aren't me
I'm just waiting for approval to post before posting, might be another day. People have been sufficiently nice so I'll post.
Come on man
Post the broad outline of your proof (along with some identifying document so you can prove its yours if you wish) so we know you aren't attention seeking.
youre a dumb faggot i hope you kill yourself
OP is a fag as usual. There is nothing to see here.
KYS op !
Don't be mean I want to see his paper
...
Would Hiro even take it though?
He seems to love his ads

Ok you got me

>the fundamental theorem of engineering, π=3=e
Wow rude.
That's the fundamental heuristic of engineering, not the fundamental theorem, but you're close
Good post nonetheless
>fundamental theorem of engineering
Fucking hilarious. I hope this guy really did solve RH if he can troll on this level.
You have the sense of humour of a 15 year old. Hmmmm
Stop doing math it's a black magic that will lead the humans into a disaster
Buttmad
...
i laughed audibly
...
Of course you realize that the RH is an ill-posed question, since it assumes there are infinitely many numbers when in fact this is not the case, correct?
Stop doing bad math

Really hope you aren't trolling my dude
why can't they just use proof by exhaustion on this?
>By it's roots
>By it is roots
>it is roots
>why can't they just use proof by exhaustion on this?
There's no upper bound on the imaginary part of a zero.
if this is real (99.99% it isn't) let the history books know I was here when it happened.
just in case
>just in case
Let the archive contain my redpill.
I want to be in the hypothetical screencap as well
fuuuuuccccckkkkkkk
>if this is real (99.99% it isn't) let the history books know Veeky Forums was here
ftfy
also agreed that OP's proof is most likely invalid but it's still exciting to know that there is the possibility that a proof of the most important math conjecture of the 20th century could have been announced on Veeky Forums for all of us to witness it first
me three
Okay guys, you've been nice so it's finally time for the big reveal.
All it takes to prove it is taking your wallet and assuming the axiom 1+1=2 to be false, which then opens up a rift to an alien dimension filled with humans like us, except completely black. What you do then is take our your wallet, put it on the floor, close your eyes and meditate for a whole year, not eating nor drinking, no muscle movement, not even shitposting.
Then, at last, when the year has ended you will find as you open your eyes that the wallet and black alien humanoids are gone. How can that be? Matter only teleports in the quantum level. And that's when you realize- NEVER trust niggers.
i have been enlightened by this magnificent proof

Why the racism?
Yes

That won't be possible if I beat you.

I really hope you don't solve the riemann hypothesis and realize you're another under-grad that might as well be chasing a liberal arts degree as much as a pure math one.
and no I won't donate any of my physics income to you in the streets when you can't find any job trying to make a career off of something you could've done for free

Holy shit there are a lot of gullible retards on /sp/. The OP legit just read portions of the wiki on the Riemann zeta function.
To those thinking that JUST a few days/weeks of thinking about the Riemann hypothesis will yield a strategy of attack which nobody has already thought before are utterly delusional. Nobody even knows how to really attack this problem. Most of the greats after Riemann's time have attempted this problem and failed miserably. The complicating issue here, is that these zeros lie in the region where analytic continuation is necessary.
