Claimed proofs
forThis argument, if it holds, bears in favour of the claim.constitution →All non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have real part equal to 1/2.
The argument
If Michael Atiyah's 2018 claimed proof establishes the Riemann hypothesis, the claim is a theorem; the same holds for any of the many other announced proofs, none of which has been accepted by referees or the number-theory community.

The inference is valid: a correct proof would make the claim a theorem. The argument lives or dies on whether Atiyah's 2018 argument establishes the hypothesis, and the mathematical community's examination found that it does not, so the argument currently carries no weight.
