Indian Mathematician Takes Shot At Proving Riemann Hypothesis

First time accepted submitter jalfreize writes "Indian Mathematician Rohit Gupta (known by the moniker @fadesingh on twitter) has announced an online workshop which he intends to 'conclude by attacking an important problem in front of (the participants), in public view.' The problem is the Riemann Hypothesis, first proposed in 1859. Rohit outlines his approach based on quasicrystals first outlined by Freeman Dyson.

Looks like someone is trying to curry favor with the mods.

Curry has little to do with this

He will talk about quasicrystals and the Riemann hypothesis, not lambda calculus. [wikipedia.org]

Riemann Hypothesis Takes Shot At Crushing Indian Mathematician

The Riemann Hypothesis (known by the moniker @unsolvable on twitter) has announced an online workshop which it intends to 'conclude by attacking an important mathematician in front of (the participants), in public view.' The mathematician is the Rohit Gupta. The hypothesis outlines its approach based on previous failed attempts, conserved in quasicrystals of the tears of previously broken mathematicians. Its audacious plan, coupled with this recent news about quasicrystals, has kicked up a storm of interest in the Indian twitterverse.

And the mods would like to have a little chaat with him.

In other news, P=NP

I got bored this afternoon and did the proof a few different ways. Unfortunately, the details won't fit in this comment box.

Why, he cited his sources, didn't he?

We won't be having naan of this around here!

Re:In other news, P=NP

[Anonymous Coward]

Let us assume that P=0
P(P-1) = 0
P-1 = 0
P = 1
Hence by contradiction, P = 0 must be false.
You're wrong. QED

:-P

Yeah, well -- y'know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Oi! I'm Scottish and I resent the implication that we didn't invent it.

Surely DEEP-FRIED MARS BAR tikka masala?
