Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-scoops-of-math-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Xian-Jin Li claims to have proven the Riemann hypothesis in this preprint on the arXiv." We've mentioned recent advances in the search for a proof but if true, I'm told this is important stuff. Me, I use math to write dirty words on my calculator.

    That joke is nearly a year old online, and about 1000 if you've spent any time in a university math department.

    Well... if its so hard to prove (and such a little and simple hipothesys), perhaps is just plain not true and thats that.

    Of course, now we need to get into proving THAT.
