Hyderabad: A senior mathematical physicist, Dr Kumar Eswaran, during his service in Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology (SNIST), Hyderabad has developed a proof for ‘The Riemann Hypothesis’, a millennium problem in mathematics which was waiting for proof for the last 161 years.
According to a press release from SNIST, a duly constituted expert committee of scientists have determined after detailed and careful perusal of the comments of competent reviewers that one of their professors, Dr Kumar Eswaran has proved the ‘The Riemann Hypothesis’.
A proof or disproof of the hypothesis has eluded the efforts of the most famous mathematicians for the past 161 years. The importance of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) was well-known to mathematicians and it was also recognised that proof of RH would automatically lead to the proof of numerous theorems which were dependent on the truth of this hypothesis, SNIST said.
In 2000, RH was designated as a millennium problem, one of the seven mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Mass, USA and announced a reward of $1 million dollars for its solution, the Institute said. The genesis of the problem arose from the work of the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) who had written down a formula that can be used to approximately predict the number of prime numbers below any given number.
According to the Institute, Dr Kumar Eswaran took off from the work of JE Littlewood (1885-1977) and showed that the RH could be resolved if the analytical behaviour of a certain specially chosen function of a complex variable can be determined.
