Site seems to be hugged to death by HN.

zenodo isn't really a site that can be hugged to death, it's not a blog or something.

I look forward, should this prove correct, to the explainers from Quanta, Numberphile, etc.
hamburgererror•1h ago
They posted a previous paper on the same topic on vixra earlier this year.

I wonder how it could /not/ cite Terry Tao who has recent work on this.

Is this at least coming from the direction that the experts expect?
Enginerrrd•1h ago
Don't get excited.

The author also claims to have proved the twin prime conjecture. https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/The_Twin_Prime_Conject...

They don't seem to be affiliated with any university and don't seem to collaborate with anyone except this one person, Andrew Elliot.

My assessment of the probability that this is a real proof: Less than 0.1%.

Is there any real expert opinion on this? The abstract itself reads rather dense.

That said, if there's any field that "independent researchers" can excel, it should be math, it's not like you need an experimental group to crib off on.

  >  Each appendix isolates and resolves one of the classical obstacles to a self-contained Hilbert–Pólya formulation—self-adjointness, trace-class bounds, Paley–Wiener confinement, Weyl normalization, and uniqueness of the arithmetic weights.
Given the nature of the problem and the unsolicited mention of a "confinement manifold" earlier in the abstract, this summary gives very strong vibes of "My corral has six well closed gates, why do you keep asking about the fence?". This is in addition to not trusting complex and unclear proofs.

Other red (or at least yellow) flags:

1. Typeset in (what appears to be) Microsoft Word. Anyone under the age of 90 who knows enough math to prove the Riemann Hypothesis will have learned and strongly prefer LaTeX.

2. Casually introduces novel terminology like "entropy-spiral coordinate" without explanation, inconsistent with norms of mathematical exposition.

3. Social absurdities characteristic of crankery. Nobody with enough knowledge to prove the Riemann hypothesis thinks they need to put "rights holder" after their name in the proof.

Riemann, twin-primes and a united theory of physics in one year; busy couple. Amusing comment on the latter:

Alright, while it's hard to judge this either way, why does this need to be flagged? This isn't really spam.
hamburgererror•16m ago
This is garbage maths. There are so many reflags on this, as pointed out by several people already.

For whatever reason they posted their paper on zenodo but it belongs to vixra, if they had posted it there you would have never heard of it.
