Quotes from the Indiatimes article:

… an expert committee consisting of eight mathematicians and theoretical physicists was constituted in 2020 to look into the proof … The committee then examined the comments of the seven [international scholars] and the responses of the author and concluded that Eswaran’s proof of the RH is correct.

Wow, if it holds, then that's big news.

… [Over the past five years,] there was reluctance on the part of the editors of international journals to put the paper through a detailed peer review …

Well, the editors' reluctance is not news.

How about statements like "The proof is trivial and left to the interested student." I have forgotten which of my textbooks that one is in.

My favorite post that I ever made at the other site where I post is because of the comments, one of which has that “left as an exercise for the student.” I probably made better answers there, but none that elicited comments that amused me more.

Is the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis by Prof. Eswaran correct?

Answer (1 of 7): You do not need to be a mathematician to see it’s wrong. He takes a well known relationship, that the truth of this implies that, and then thinks he’s proved the first part. My guess, from skimming, is that he doesn’t understand the meaning of the RH, and his inability to focus o...
