Atiyah appreciation thread Anonymous Mon Sep 24 05:30:33 2018 No.10025762 [Reply] [Original]

Despite the recent sad event, we should remember that Atiyah still is and always will remain one of the best mathematicians of the 20th century. Thank you, Atiyah, for the beautiful mathematics you've provided to us mere mortals!

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 05:36:57 2018 No.10025771 >>10025764 Yeah, his Commutative Algebra is often held(by myself too) as one of the most beautiful textbooks in mathematics. The man was a talented writer, which is not too common among mathematicians.

Please stop making threads about this. It's legit making me anxious. The two "papers" that were linked to here apparently were rejected by arxiv, and no wonder. They read like inane ramblings written by schizos, like our resident The Lord, or the average vixra paper.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 05:52:05 2018 No.10025787 >>10025781 Everyone by now knows that the proofs contained in the papers are wrong. The point of this thread is to celebrate what he's done in the past, despite what happened today.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 06:21:37 2018 No.10025820 >>10025787 What happened today, lets talk about that instead. How was the conference?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 06:31:53 2018 No.10025833 >>10025820 It went just like most people suspected it would go. People his age just don't prove big conjectures like that.

Serre is older than him and still killing. He is still publishing, comes to Bourbaki seminars, takes no notes and corrects the speakers. He even gave an excellent talk a few months ago (though not about his own work, as is the norm).

what, did somebody point out something wrong or ask a question that screwed his argument over?

why is everybody so sure it’s wrong aside from it looking wacky? only “authority” i’ve seen comments from is Motl who is not an authority and a douche

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 08:06:04 2018 No.10025922 >>10025911 The proof just doesn't make any sense. The statements about the function F don't follow.

from the reddit thread:
"He didn't use a single property of the Riemann zeta function (besides it being analytic). If this argument applied, it would show any non-zero analytic function would have no zeros outside the critical line."

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 09:28:45 2018 No.10026034 >>10025958 Just read it yourself. In particular from "Now take f = g = F in 2.6" onwards it's just gibberish.
