Not fair.

Wiles said he thought RH would be proved before BSD but he didn't go into detail about why, I only had the impression that basically no one is close to a proof. It probably is the most famous unsolved math problem at this point, if it takes physics to solve it... at least it'd be done

To my knowledge there isn't much progress in this paper from a number theory perspective. Just some phyiscists who learned something.

t. physicist btw.

PS: The ideas to this approach are super old

tfw future brainlets can't even prove the eigenvalues of an operator are all real numbers

>ties to QM

What could be the ramifications of this? Sure they said it was a purely mathematical Hamiltonian, but could it apply to a physical system that we just don't know about?

t. haven't taken QM nor am I versed on what a Hamiltonian is besides a quick skim on wiki

well they wouldn't have to be, right?

The raw idea isn't new, no. But nobody has ever _found_ the hypothesized operator. They claim to have done so.

I hope this is fake.
How can physicists brainlets make significant steps into a solution of RH?
The paper is only a few pages long.
This pisses me off.

Yeah, this is BS.

>The “boundary condition” is imposing an identification with zeta zeros by fiat, so the linkage of any of this to RH is basically circular. The paper at best just redefines the problem, without providing any genuine new insight

So, another episode of
>physicists with poor understanding of mathematics make fun of themselves.
Thank you for lifting my mood.
