SUMMARY

This forum discussion centers around self-identification as a genius, particularly in the fields of mathematics and computer science. Participants engage in light-hearted banter about genius status, with references to the Riemann Hypothesis and the Riemann zeta function, specifically the assertion that all complex zeros of the zeta function have a real part equal to 1/2. The conversation also touches on the nature of genius and the irony of self-proclaimed genius claims, highlighting a mix of humor and serious mathematical inquiry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Riemann zeta function, $$\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^s}$$
  • Familiarity with the Riemann Hypothesis and its implications in mathematics
  • Basic knowledge of complex analysis and its applications
  • Awareness of mathematical proof techniques and their significance in theoretical discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Riemann Hypothesis and its significance in number theory
  • Study complex analysis with a focus on analytic functions and their properties
  • Explore mathematical proof techniques, particularly in the context of number theory
  • Investigate the implications of the Riemann zeta function in cryptology and other fields
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, computer scientists, students of advanced mathematics, and anyone interested in the philosophical discussions surrounding genius and intellectual identity.

Trolling first post at PF
Am a mathematical genius and computer science and other by most metrics that are available today.

Are there any other here who are confirmed to be such?
Trying to find a forum of smart people.

Soooooper Genius.
I like the sound of that.

I too identify as a genius. Furthermore, I identify all others as geniuses, too!
 
I know I'm a legend in my own mind...probably a genius too.

and, sorry, just to check that you are actually a genius, please provide the solution to the following:

Show that the all the complex zeros of ##\zeta(s)## have real part equal to ##1/2##, where $$\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^s}$$

I'm a genius at locking threads and giving infractions to trolls. Nuff said. :wink:

Sorry to overstep my authority after the lock, but I finally realized what bothered me about this statement by the OP (other than the trolling). I'll unlock the thread and thread ban the OP to ask who else sees the irony in this violation of the grammar police code...

I'm only annoyed because I forgot to say I was a very stable genius. Ah well... not presidential timber.

No problem. I have a proof under the RH (standard assumption in cryptology).

Are you sure you're not just meta-stable?

Geni was a genius
At least her mamma said.
She could finish her math
Before her bath,

Just because a person opens themselves up to ridicule does not mean that it is nice to pile on.

Yeah, I guess it's time to tie off this thread now. Thanks folks.
