Happy 150th anniversary to the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the most important math problems ever! Proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, the Riemann Hypothesis deals with prime numbers. You may recall that a prime number is a po...

Riemann submitted his paper on the Riemann Hypothesis October 19, 1859, and it was read by Kummer at the meeting of the Berlin academy on November 3. AIM is organizing a celebration of the 150th birthday of the Riemann Hypothesis, ...

Yuri Manin, in a translation of a recent interview, available in the forthcoming issue of the Notices of the AMS: I’m somewhat apprehensive that its [the Riemann Hypothesis] first solution might be a proof using blunt analytic meth...

The Millennium Prize Problems, created by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000, are widely regarded as the most challenging problems in modern theoretical calculus.   Whoever proves or disproves one of these instantly gains recogn...

I was last week in Verbania, Italy, for the conference in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Riemann Hypothesis, which was also the inaugural activity of the new RISM (Riemann International School of Mathematics). It was a very p...

The 150th Birthday of Darwin’s “On the origin of species” is being amply celebrated all over the world, but let’s not forget another scientific milestone sharing the same birthday: the Riemann Hypothesis was formulated 150 years ago...

From the geomblog, in 2004: a meta-proof of P=/!=NP. With very slight modifications this could be a meta-proof of the Riemann hypothesis, or any other outstanding open problem in mathematics, theoretical CS, theoretical physics, o...

Some quotes of Andre Weil on the Riemann hypothesis.

Don’t be fooled by introductory remarks to the effect that ‘the field with one element was conceived by Jacques Tits half a century ago, etc. etc.’ While this is a historic fact, and, Jacques Tits cannot be given enough credit for ...

DARPA math challenges. My favorite is "Mathematical Challenge Nineteen: Settle the Riemann Hypothesis." I'm guess that's one where you can't follow the age old strategy of writing a grant proposal for work you've already figured ...

There has been some discussion on “not coming off as a crackpot”, inspired by the recent purported proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. Let me be clear here: Li may or may not have handled his potential proof in the most elegant way pos...

Yesterday, everyone was all atwitter over a new preprint by Xian-Jin Li containing a purported proof the Riemann Hypothesis. The optics of it looked good (Li is clearly not a crank), but Terry Tao has identified an apparent error. ...

Everybody is talking about this. I agree with Isabel that it doesn’t set off obvious alarm bells, but that I’m not nearly qualified to read this paper. That admittance puts me head and shoulders above the clamor at Slashdot who alw...
