A Spectral-Geometric Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis (zenodo.org)

Site seems to be hugged to death by HN.

I look forward, should this prove correct, to the explainers from Quanta, Numberphile, etc.

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?

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%.

Alright, while it's hard to judge this either way, why does this need to be flagged? This isn't really spam.

I'm pretty sure it's nonsense, but it does make me curious. What kind of mind goes down this path? They also produced a whole 300 page book. Is it like a massive genAI hallucination happening in a human brain?

If you dip into the book, it looks like something today's generation of "deep thinking" AI models might produce if demanded to create a proof of the Riemann hypothesis.
