#paperOfTheDay for Friday was "The Riemann Hypothesis: Past, Present and a Letter Through Time" from Thursday. The #Riemann hypothesis states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have real part 1/2. Stated as a remark in Riemann's legendary paper 165years ago, it is by now one of the most well-known open problems in #mathematics. In the first half of the present paper, Connes gives a well-structured overview of several of the many relations, equivalent formulations, and consequences of the Riemann hypothesis. Very informative for the general (mathematically educated) reader! The second half describes one of the ongoing proof attempts in greater technical detail. #dailyPaperChallenge https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.04022
