His work will be published soon.
is a 150-year-old puzzle that is considered by the community to be the holy grail of mathematics. Published in 1859, it is a fascinating piece of mathematical conjecture around prime numbers and how they can be predicted.Riemann hypothesized that prime numbers do not occur erratically but rather follow the frequency of an elaborate function, which is called the Riemann zeta function.
Zhang then moved to the U.S. to get a Ph.D. in mathematics from Purdue University. Failing to get himself a job, Zhang then worked as an accountant, a restaurant manager, and even a food delivery person before getting a position to teach pre-algebra and calculus at the University of New Hampshire in 1999, theIn 2013, Zhang shocked the world with his twin prime conjecture, which proposed that there were an infinite pair of prime numbers that differed by two.
Zhang is expected to present his work at a lecture at Peking University today, and the publication could possibly enter the peer review process this month, the SCMP report said. The outcome of the process will be known in a few months' time, and if found accurate, could land Zhang a $1 million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
This is not the first instance of a claim made for the Clay Institute's prize. Last year, media reports suggested that a mathematics professor in India had submitted such proof, while another famous mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah made similar claims in 2018. The Clay Institute has rejected both claims and confirmed that the
