Agree with this. Don't think there are too many mathematicians who can really argue for or against a really important theorem. My prof has come up with one for Riemann hypothesis[1], but he is not finding anyone willing to engage in a discussion. Most mathematicians seem to believe that the Riemann hypothesis is unsolvable and I don't think it helps that my prof is currently not associated with any reputable university. It's as if proofs can come from only reputable universities and reputable mathematicians.

- nerdponx 8y agoIt appears your professor's work has gotten the attention of at least one other researcher -- a Matthew Watkin at the University of Exeter. He seems to believe that it can be disproven by a student of analytic number theory [0].

- masterjack 8y agoUnfortunately way more often than not attempted proofs of hard problems end up flawed, especially if there are certain warning signs: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=304 https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=304 That said, I’d be happy to go over this as an analytic number theorist rfurman@alumni.stanford.edu
